Just sit back and let life go by….
(It actually works, even though in a roundabout way, I haven’t managed to publish simultaneously via email to flickr and blog, so I have to figure out what it is that I’m doing wrong! Meanwhile, time to hit the beach!)
;-D

Well, what better way to wait for the day to pick up than trying fun stuff with blogs over a large glass of ice coffee!! Now, I’m into configuring my newly set flickr account to correspond with my blog. Pretty cool!! Hope this will work!

Ok, something you should really do outdoors, the chemicals and the dust is just way too much! And even though I think the cells of my hands will be dancing mambo for days (by the way, do you think this will improve the quality of frape??? Hmm…) by operating the sander, it wasn’t really all that time consuming or tiring, plus the result was worth it! Just take care you don’t get to breath the wood stain or any of the varnishes, or you’ll be writing poetry under the moonlight!!! Which reminds me, gotta hit the road!!! Blogposting is not a good excuse for being late!! ;-D
Νικόλα, χρόνια πολλά!!!!!

when you don’t try to keep track of it, when the moon is filling and the sea is whispering over cold drinks and smiles. Time is unkept, yawning and stretching.
O χρόνος περνάει αργά… Ο χρόνος περνάει γρήγορα… Ο χρόνος κυλάει… γλυστράει….σταματάει… αποτυπώνεται… χάνεται… κερδίζεται… Ο χρόνος… ο χρόνος…ο χρόνος… Είναι εχθρός… είναι φίλος… είναι εδώ… απουσιάζει…
Ο χρόνος σου ανήκει… for hours we argue, talk, and don’t part… time stands still…..

Leisure time on the beach, under the scorching sun, the water green, the occasional light breeze rippling the surface, the far sound of cicadas over the dunes. Dozing off to the sound of footsteps on the sand, the light patter of feet, children dashing in and out of the water, splashing. And later on, the stroll down the beach to check for caretta caretta tracks on the sand. Always on the lookout to trace down nests, report them and protect them so they’ll be safe from predators, bipeds mostly…
It’s a unique experience to watch the amazing primitive mass of a caretta caretta laying eggs in the dark. I’ve been lucky enough to go on a night shift -nothing like Stephen King’s though, 🙂 only to the extent of unlimited respect to forces unknown- with the volunteers from Archelon and watched in awe these amazing creatures lugging their incredible masses from the depths of the sea. The memory of helping to measure them, check them out for injuries and tags will stay with me forever. The feel of their ancient skin, the sheer power of them, their purposeful moves, are as vivid now as they were then. And the wonderful sight of baby turtles heading for the water, only weeks later. Every year, it never ceases to amaze me!
But, no turtle tracks today… Well, same drill tomorrow! (“Constant vigilance!” Yo, kids! Trace that quote and have extra credit in English class come September!!!!)

… the best answer is a more interesting question. -Terry Pratchett
No quote is more appropriate when it comes to intriguing reading!!! So, from novels, scientific reading and fun stuff which sort of fill in the time when I’m not busy catching up with life happening around me, what leaves a residual image in the back of my mind, is a “what if…”
Well, what if….

I’ve spent most of the past 2 weeks doing a couple of papers plus a cd-rom about a school project which is still trying to unwind itself from the confines of my hard disk, and while I was chilling out under the hot greek sun by the sea with my friends’ laughter fighting the sound of the waves, all my memories of the books and poems I read and loved crept up on me, tired of being kept in the dark recesses of my mind for so long!
And even though William Butler Yeats is not really my top favourite poet, I couldn’t seem to get this off my mind… So, for all the words that take flight around us, spoken or not…
Where my books go
All the words that I utter,
And all the words that I write,
Must spread out their wings untiring,
And never rest in their flight,
Till they come where your sad, sad heart is,
And sing to you in the night,
Beyond where the waters are moving,
Storm-darken’d or starry bright.
