A Little Bit of This.......

A few photos 

Lemons lemons everywhere

This photo was taken at the beginning of summer.

Slowly they all fell off the trees and none of them had much juice.

Now we are buying lemons.  Almost 2 euros a kilo.  At least they're local and not from Egypt or South Africa.

Hopefully some decent rain will liven up growth and production on our trees.

Cat deterrent 

A board full of sharp sticking up nails. He doesn't like cat fur on his bike seat.

Koliva. Memorial wheat. It cannot be thrown away if we don't eat it all.  I put it out on the wall for birds, crows and sparrow's .  Or the cats? 

First in first served

Together with the bag of funeral wheat we are given a small loaf of sweet bread. Boy is that nice. Soft and full of greek flavourings.... Mastiha and mahlepi. 

It tears apart easily and is often dipped in the cup of greek coffee offered after a funeral or memorial 

Tuna

Wrapped in baking paper with slices of lemon and oregano

I cleaned out our knife drawer.

These are the extras.

3 cheese knives which we never use.  I left  2 others in the drawer.

All these got wrapped up and put  away at the back of a cupboard. I'm not allowed to get rid of them although we have another half a dozen big sharp knives still in the drawer , 2 more wooden spoons and a huge selection of spatulas. Someone loves knives and kitchen utensils
