So much happening!

Hello friends!
Wow! We are all the way in October and I haven't blogged since 20th September.
I am sorry but as I mentioned in my previous blogpost I do much more in real life than in the virtual one so I will blog only when I really can.
After spending a whole weekend decluttering and cleaning my bookcase I thought of relaxing a bit and sit on the computer today. So here I am.
Thank you all for your comments and congratulations in my previous blogpost. Luxembourg was really a great experience.
Since we returned lots and lots of things happened.
Schools had already started and I had to rush in and start teaching.
I managed to clean my English classroom a bit more and decorate it with Autumn themes.

I finished cleaning my new kitchen.

I attended two shadow puppet performances one by Tassos Georgiou at Katerini.....

and one by Giannis Chatzis in Thessaloniki.

That was a good chance to meet old friends.

I also had coffee with old colleagues at Kitchen Bar cafe overlooking the beautiful Thessaloniki where a cycling race was taking place.

I tried to do a bit of redecorating...

 and cleaned my big bookcase.That was a real chore.

I also went to two weddings,

a memorial service

 and a wedding anniversary party

 and celebrated my nameday.

I decluttered our wardrobes,CDs and books.

 There is still a lot to do.
I also visited a couple of Art Galleries but I will talk about these in a separate post.

A new month ...

...started and it is raining for days now! I don't like it at all.
So I prefer remembering last Sunday when in the morning under the sun we had a memorial family service...

...and in the evening we had a lovely walk at the beach with amazing colours....

I made a March bracelet of course, this time with beads...it is supposed to protect your skin from the sun of March!LOL!

This week we met with an old friend of mine.
We also went to the movies and watched "Riverbanks" (Ohthes) the movie where hubby's Godson Andreas Konstandinou is starring. It was good!

 I also had coffee with my friends this week.And enjoyed the hyacinths and koulouri,

 coffee and quince jelly made by my friend Stella.

 We did the usual power walk even in the rain...

... and I still took some photos...

 ...and we enjoyed coffee with the family! See the blooming tree? Spring is somewhere around the corner!

So that was all about this week! Hope you had a great week friends.And with better weather.

Sea glassing 1000 metres from home.....

It was last Sunday late afternoon when hubby and I wanted to relax and I asked for a walk at the seafront and coffee at a beautiful seafront cafe.
Crossing the big avenue near our flat I looked at the almost empty street. 
 We walked along the still closed sea front. It has been undergoing renovations for ages now but we were told that it will be open to the public on December 1st so we are really looking forward to it.

 A sweet friend was waiting there too.

 We took a couple of photos of the still closed seafront and we realised that there are people who had crossed the fences to walk there. We will wait to do that on the 1st.

 The other side of the sea front which was renovated earlier is so beautiful.

 Even the sea was very clean.See all those urchins?

 The sun was setting while we were entering the seafront cafe.

 There was a tiny beach in front of the cafe, about 10 metres long. I had never noticed that there was an actual beach there. It was covered in stones. I looked down and I saw this...

Of course I had to look for more. Hubby was shouting that the sun was fast setting and we wouldn't be able to sit outside for coffee so I had to leave the potential full of sea glass ten metre long beach.
But at least I had found a couple of lovely sea glass pieces and a destination for future walks...just a thousand metres away from home.

 See how small it is?

 Although the sun had set we sat outside. November 17th, coffee with my darling outside by the sea and sea glass!Priceless!

 That's the lot I managed to collect before hubby insisted on my returning to our table and before the sun had set.

 Not too bad for a new beach so near home!

 My favourite. Its real colour is much more turquoise that this!
