Day 119: Tuesday 15 July – Rain Stopped Play, by Ken

We awoke to the sound of thunder rumbling in the distance. By 9:30 it was raining hard and that continued until mid afternoon when the rain stopped leaving a light overcast that lasted the remainder of the day.

I visited the camping ground shop first thing to buy yoghurt for breakfast and the ingredients for a Greek salad. As previously, not being able to read Greek I wasn’t sure that I had bought yoghurt. The stylised illustration on the container of a man holding what could have been a shepherd’s crook standing under what looked like an olive tree didn’t help to shed light on the contents. Even after I opened it I still wasn’t sure, but following a second opinion from Jane the consensus was it was probably yoghurt.

I spent the day publishing more installments of this blog while Jane read, made a couple of visits to the shop and cooked a potato and pepper dish for us to eat another day.

We had been having problems with the fridge doing a bad job of making ice cubes. Most times half the pockets in each tray contained ice while the remainder had a thin skin of ice over chilled water. We thought possibly the fridge was struggling with daily outside temperatures in the low 30s and higher than that indoors in the heat of the day when Mabel was parked. Jane defrosted the fridge and that seemed to restore ice making to normal again.

Lunch was Greek salad. We were going to visit the taverna for drinks before dinner, but the 50 metre walk seemed a bit much after a lazy day. Instead we had drinks under Mabel’s awning and ate the final installment of Jane’s moussaka. The three pugs out for their evening walk passed by but I wasn’t quick enough with the camera to get a good shot.
