Rain, rain, rain…
Got back to the seaside last night. My head was still spinning from all the people and the noises of Athens. Here all was quiet. Sasha was at school, teaching. Lykonas was curled up outside the door. It always gets me, how much he jumps for joy after I return from a short or long journey. It's all...

What a colossal failure…!
Well, Anel and I went to the exhibition. All excited and ready to sell… By about 11pm we had sold one pair of earrings and downed quite a bit of the free flowing wine… Nobody was selling much, though the place was packed. Some people sold nothing at all. Everybody seemed to be somebody’s friend, and...

Seasonal conjunction of chores...
The days are very hectic when you have to move to a new house. Things get even more hectic when this coincides with a couple of seasonal ‘chores’ that are very time sensitive. So, along with the move, I have to juggle a few holiday jewelry exhibitions and picking olives! Yes, I make jewelry and I...

Back on the coast again...
After the particularly bitter winter of last year, Sasha and I decided to move a little closer to the coast. You see, our last house, high up in the mountains, had no heating, save for a fireplace. Sasha had made me promise that we would move a little closer to civilization, where homes had central...
