Unplugged – Offline – Unavailable – Enjoying life.

People are beginning to ask me;

“Where is your blog, what happened?”

Well, I rediscovered life!

It all started with a dodgy Internet connection, which progressively became worse, to the point of, for my sanity, I stayed away.

We fixed that, only for my laptop to give up the ghost a few days later.

Offline, yet again.

My blog “Greeker than the Greeks”, which recently had become a burden, a sort of duty rather than a joy, was temporarily put on hold, or so I thought.

Once my laptop was up and running again, I found all inspiration had gone out the window; I no longer eagerly switched on first thing in the morning, to read emails, browse through Facebook or check to see how many people were reading my blog.

I love being up to date with family and friends on Facebook, keeping up to date with my blog  but:

This is Greece, the weather is glorious.

I have to be outside, not indoors, hunched over a computer.

 I love my delicious homemade ice cream more than Facebook!

I love making lemon cheese with lemons, fresh from the tree.

I love planting basil; king of Greek herbswith sweet Melina, my four year old granddaughter.

MGG (My Greek God) just loves that all his shirts are freshly washed and ironed (All fifty pale blue ones!), and that our house is clean.

I love visiting my daughter more frequently in Athens.

I love reading, I love watching interesting films, I love going to bed at a decent time and getting a full eight hours sleep.

I love the ITV series Marcella more than surfing the Net; Marcella Backland left the Metropolitan Police for the sake of her family, only to have her husband leave her. She returns to her job on the murder squad, investigating a case that seems disturbingly familiar to her.

I love going for walks without thinking about taking photographs.

I love sitting in my garden, doing nothing, just sitting, as my Father used to say:

“Sometimes I sit and think, and sometimes, I just sit”.

I love just being me, unconnected, offline, unavailable!

Feeling Good
