That's more like it!



... flacid flags at last!

On Saturday afternoon the wind dropped and the rest of the Bank Holiday weekend has been as warm and still as one wants it - with perfect sea as well!

The beach has been crowded of course - and the traffic ghastly, but they will be going back to Chania or Athens tonight or tomorrow!

All good news for the Brits like Noreen and Tamara expected on Tuesday and possibly despondent after reading of the last moon cycle's weather! Things can only get better!

We had a red(dish) moon this evening following the partial eclipse last night.

The figures here are based on an old sepia photograph of intrepid early foreign visitors. A Dutch guy made the metal statue in the 90's and donated it to the town. This is its second resting place - the sunset mirador on the sandy beach. Currently it has chalked-on visual features - last month it was lime-green paint!
