Wednesday, February 13/2019

Definite shirtsleeve weather today, and sunny. Wednesday is 20% off produce at Prinos greengrocers. Actually, the English sign says 20% off products, and while they mainly sell fruit and veg they do have quite a good butcher as well as carrying some high end cheeses and a selection of wine. Don’t imagine those are what is meant by products, though. Fill three of our cloth bags with oranges, pears, bananas, onions, cauliflower, tomatoes, peppers, mushrooms, carrots, red lettuce, cucumbers and garlic. Most everything local except the garlic, which everywhere in the world seems to come from China. Actually not entirely true. Can by non-Chinese at home, and there is some Cypriot here, but pretty sprouted and falling apart. Hate to think about what they do to the Chinese to keep it looking good. 


Call Genie in London to put the final three weeks of the winter - by then spring - in place. Seems much too soon. Life zipping by like flipping the pages of a book.
