DD or Else

The following is a genuine appeal for opinions not seeking sympathy or dramatics or support (although all are welcome here, as you know !)
Should I reveal who I am ?
Not that I am someone important or that you will be shocked to find out that I’m a celebrity after all. I received two […]

A Neighborhood Story 3

Every once in a while, I am reminded of community. I use that word a lot on this blog, often without thinking, but mostly as a way of describing people living together. As many of you here know, we are moving house. Our new place is about 20 paces from our old one and very […]

Dirty City

Via the Eurobarometer survey 2007
Yes. It’s true. Athens is a dirty city. One of the dirtiest in Europe. We all know that there is a lack of green space. I challenge ANYONE to find a good local park for a kid to play in.
Does anyone know of a free, clean outside pool (lido) […]

Not sure about the graphics for the award. I don’t know what a muscleman has to do with schmooze ?
Here is the definition of schmooze:
As it goes, schmoozing is the natural ability “to converse casually, especially in order to gain an […]

Heatwave

Please take care, everyone, during this incredible heatwave. We don’t have any air-conditioning in our house, just a small fan so we are finding it exhausting (to say the least). Here is some advice from the American Red Cross:
If a Heat Wave Is Predicted or Happening…
Slow down. Avoid strenuous activity. If you must do strenuous […]

According to the letter, the law which seeks to regulate radio stations

The Hatred Spreads

I am saddened to read the latest post at My Big Fat Greek Experiment. Bollybutton has closed comments due to
being called a bitch, ugly, psycho, racists, a coward and a fake
To all those who have participated in the hatred. You think that you just sit at your keyboard and type your toxic messages to […]

101 things

1. How many keys are on your keychain?
One. To my house. I’m not a key person obviously.
2. What curse word do you use the most?
I do use the F-word […]
