Byron.. Not the Poet

 Dismal

Bleak

All good words to describe today's conditions.....

Darkness.....    Byron 

The bright sun was extinguish'd, and the stars

Did wander darling in the eternal space

Rayless, and pathless, and the icy earth...

Byron is revered in Greece 

He's a hero who gave his life for Greek Independence 

And now he's a bluster and a blitzkreig

The storm has brought flooding all over the country. My grandson Jamie sent us a video of the street where he lives in Athens. It turned into a fast flowing river taking everything with it.  Thankfully he lives on the 2nd floor.  No school for him for a couple of days. 

I bet by the time you read this the sun will be shining again. 

We have over 300 days of sunshine a year. So they say. 

What to do

Decorate

 We have 5 boats which light up.   

6 o'clock sharp our house  turns into a Greek Xmas  wonderland

Lots of lights on the tree too

Meanwhile, back in the hinterland Thousands of tractors have cut off main roads and all the northern border crossings

Farmers are waiting for EU reparation for damages from flooding, fires and livestock culling because of sheep and goat pox

In our house 

No flooding 

No culling

Just a little bit of imbibing
