Between party-time and the arrival of Chloe we had some very good weather and much time was spent down at the cantina! Rainer had brought over a substitute for the Golden Kri-kri. award. The tasteful(!) model won by Lucas two years ago had gone missing in Karlstadt, so this ceramic horn had come down in the camper, and was up for grabs in a hurriedly organised tavli competition involving Ruth, Jack, Felix, Lucas and Julia. After a play-off the winner was Ruth, so we are the keepers for this year. Afterwards at Cosmogonia there were plenty of suggestions for uses!
This was also a period of anxiety for friends of Lorte and Monika. August visitors over the years will remember them, their children and the two dogs at particularly Yianni's or Corali. Latterly Monika had been here in a wheelchair after a stroke 5 years ago, enjoying Paleochora with the help of friends and family. This time we missed them on our first evening back, and then next day she was taken ill again. After a stay in hospital in Chania she was taken back to Munich by air ambulance. Lorte followed and a few days later she died surrounded by family.
