Overcast, and still windy. We have only to glance out the window to see the small palm trees whipping round - our weather vanes. But it's warm enough and rain not in the forecast, so we meet for coffee as usual. Then go to view the sample apartment for rent at Petrou Brothers. It's nicely designed as a summer hotel room. Pointlessly large kitchen with little cupboard space and bedroom with no chairs - only the bed to sit on whilst watching the flat-screened but too small television fixed to the wall in the corner. So the extensive renovations are essentially redecorating aimed at creating spare and cool rooms for the summer beach crowd.
