last weekend in Karystos, all day listening to the radio while parliament was discussing the vote on the latest bailout. How depressing. To expect a good sketch to come out of this was probably silly – see result.

While above us the mountain was capped with snow, I tried to keep the cold at bay feeding the wood stove buckets of wood.

I took the pictures of the wall so no condensation would form behind them and this is what I found behind one of them, two of our pet geckos stiff from the cold and not able to show their disapproval of being exposed.
