What a Beautiful Pussy You Are

 12 days ago

It was a quiet, enjoyable day. Without fuss. Without bother. I dressed up a little.

New Year's Day 

Not at our house!

Some of us went to eat at the slightly more classy restaurant we discovered only 10 minutes across the water, and straight down the road

This eating place is a little above your normal taverna.  The food is excellent, the wine very drinkable, quick service.

Low music. No loud voices.

Extremely reasonable prices. Full of Poros people, friends and acquaintances enjoying, like us, good company and good food. 

It's cheaper than a Poros taverna even after paying return tickets for 2 cars on the ferry.

Fresh little cakes served afterwards were offered 'on the house'. 

After our meal we found a handy place for smokers outside on the porch. 

Elli noticed all the smokers were female. A big change from days gone by when it was almost exclusively males who smoked. 

Gossip time!

The lucky coin

Not wrapped up in a five pound note* but a bit of silver foil. 

We missed you D

The owl and the Pussy-cat went to sea

In a beautiful pea-green boat

They took some honey and plenty of money

*Wrapped up in a five pound note 

The owl looked up to the stars above

And sang to a small guitar

'Oh lovely Pussy, oh Pussy, my love

What a beautiful Pussy you are

You are

You are

What a beautiful Pussy you are'.

That's a few too many 'pussys' to be politically correct these days
