News of the week

Hi lovelies!!
  I missed you after being absent for a whole week but Greek summer is not to be taken lightly! Today is a kind of cooler day and the temp finally dropped a bit to 100F! I've been too hot, too lazy and totally uninspired... I need a new camera too! It's too time consuming to try to use my broken one so I just don't bother! But I'm saving to buy a new one and this is when I'll start posting like a normal person again! 


 My outfits lately are limited to easy wearing, cool summer dresses when going out and switching to a swim-suit and 5 showers a day when staying in! But still... I'm in heaven! Not only I love the summer and heat, but I spend all my days with my man. This is the first summer we spend together because he was working during the winter and I was working during the summer!! So we cherish each day that we get since the previous arrangement wasn't very convenient! And this is how I spent my last summer, to give you a clue!



 So... a little relaxing, swimming and cuddling is absolutely necessary this year if you see my point!! Back to normal life...on the ground! 
 Oh... my weird news I mentioned a couple of posts back! You all know I've been unemployed for a while. So when I found this new job I got really excited! I heard about this famous local painter who owns a small gallery and was asking for a girl to work there. Working in a gallery was always a fantasy of mine so I gave it a go! I was supposed to work there 4 hours in the morning and 4 hours in the afternoon! The payment was awful, but I live in a small town, with no real job opportunities... 
 First day was ok and the painter was kind and he was even interested in my work. So I brought him some drawings I've done when I started painting (I was 13 years old at the time) and some of my jewellery! When he saw my paintings he said: "It took me 15 years to get to that level of painting. You have a good hand". In all, a very satisfying comment if you're a low self-esteem artist like me!!

That's me - with an eeeewww face!
Second day though - not so ok - it became pretty clear that the 70-year-old painter was hitting on me!! Eeeewwwww! I freaked out - end of story.
 
Back to normal things: We also attended a concert of an amazing Greek Blues band this week! Yes, Greeks have the blues and we're proud of it!
 



 "Blues Wire" is a very talented and dedicated Blues Band, performing for more than 20 years, writing their own music and lyrics! We purchased their latest cd titled "Take my hand to the sky" and I recommend it to everyone who appreciates good music! Check out their work here.  Here's a song for you all! 


 I also want to send a hug and a special thank you to my newer blog friend Hermione (yes, that's a greek name!) for giving me my second blog award! 

 
 She has an awesome cooking blog with a lot of interesting experimental recipes that she comes up with for her baby daughter!! She writes in greek, but you can use google translate I guess - good food is a universal thing! Check her out here and send her your blog-love!! Thanks Hermione dear!!! You've made my week!
our naughty kitty

 Enjoy every day, drink a lot of water and bear with me during August - I'm gonna be a bad blogger!!

  4. @Ειρήνη - Ευχαριστώ κούκλα! Τι τα θες? Τα είπαμε και την άλλη φορά! Αυτή η χώρα δεν έχει μέλλον, μόνο ένδοξο παρελθόν δυστυχώς... Δε βαριέσαι! Στενοχωρήθηκα δε σου κρύβω, γιατί είχα χαρεί αρκετά στην αρχή. Φιλάκια πολλά!

    @Demy - Γι' αυτό δε σε βρίσκω βρε κορίτσι πουθενά? Το βιντεάκι είναι από πυροσβεστικό ελικόπτερο, που ήταν η προηγούμενή μου δουλειά! (ήμουν σύνδεσμος/διερμηνέας). Η δουλειά ήταν καλή, αλλά πολύ το άγχος! Η Ερμιόνη σκίζει με τις συνταγές της! Και μη στενοχωριέσαι για τα μπανάκια, έχεις χρόνια μπροστά σου! Αλλά φοβάμαι πολύ για τη χώρα που θα σας παραδωθεί για να ζήσετε εσείς οι νεότεροι... δε σας βλέπω καλά! Γι' αυτό υπομονή και κουράγιο! Και πείσμα! Να περνάς καλά και αφού δεν έχεις blogaki μπορείς να στέλνεις και mail για να μιλάμε! Φιλάκια!!

  7. It looks SO hot there. I don't know how you survive. I guess that is why you wear dresses all the time, right??

  8. That's your ew face? It looks like a "come over here, baby. meow." face. You are so beautiful. I'm loving that dress and your naughty kitty!

    So, you fly those planes? I'm freaking out and so impressed!!

  9. @Bonnie - Yeap... too hot!! And I'm supposed to like heat, but it's too much! One of the reasons that I wear dresses is because of the heat. But I also think they are more feminine, sexy and comfortable! In all, I feel better in dresses and skirts!

    @Tracy - Hahaha! Yes, that was a tired/crooked smile and not a sexy one! But thank you so much!!
    The video is from my last job - nothing to do with piloting! I was working in a firefighting american helicopter and I was mainly translating radio communications for the pilots. We were 3 or 4 people in the cockpit and I was riding backwards, behind the pilot's seat. Don't be impressed: I was too damn scared to keep doing that job... The flying part didn't scare me though, I loved it!!

  10. Wow, what a week koukla! Congratulations on your new job, you are officially Charlotte from SATC!!! Plus congrats on the blog award.

    I bought my last camera online (in Greece), it was way cheaper than in Public/Kotsovolos! so when you know what you're looking for check out skroutz first to compare. I went with a company called Katerelos.

  15. Όπως λέει και ο "καλός μου", ΚΑΛΗ ΚΑΡΔΙΑ! Δε βαριέσαι, όλα καλά θα πάνε, με τον έναν ή τον άλλον τρόπο. Look at the bright side, περνάς ένα -σχετικά-χαλαρό καλοκαίρι (και λέω σχετικά γιατί όσο να'ναι, χωρίς δουλειά όλοι νιώθουμε ανασφάλεια και δεν μπορούμε να χαλαρώσουμε), απολαμβάνεις τις στιγμές με το ταίρι σου, κάνεις τα μπανάκια σου, πας στις συναυλίες σου, όλα μια χαρά. Γέμιζε μπαταρίες για τον χειμώνα που έρχεται!
    Όσο για την νυν και τέως δουλειά... τρομερή απογοήτευση, αλλά από την άλλη δεν έβαλες και τα γέλια; Είναι από αυτές τις στιγμές που λές "Μα,καλά... ΟΛΑ τα περίεργα σ'εμένα;!"
    Καλό υπόλοιπο καλοκαιριού να έχεις και να είσαι πάντα χαμογελαστή και χαρούμενη! Φιλιά πολλά! :-)

  24. Wow what a neat job to work translating radio communications and the job at the art gallery sounds neat but not if there's an old perv hitting on you! You look beautiful in summery dresses all tanned and what a sweet naughty kitty! Stay cool in the heat!

  25. Are you still working there? Ew! Of course, just because he's old doesn't mean he has bad taste, right? You look beautiful in brights!

    P.S. Laughing at the second comment down which to me looks like this: Greek Greek Greek WHAT THE F$@& Greek Greek Greek. Good to know that phrase is universal. Ha ha!

  27. @Tinfoil Tiaras - Thanks lovely Em!

    @Jenn - Oh no... It only lasted 2 days, that's all I could take! Thanks for the compliment dear! And, yes, that phrase is universal!! We use it all the time! LOL :)

    @Kot-itsa - Το πρόβλημα κοτίτσα ήταν ότι εγώ αποφεύγω ακόμα και τις διαδρομές με αυτοκίνητο πάνω από 4 ώρες! Πώς βρέθηκα να πετάω με το ελικόπτερο και να κάνω 16 ώρες βάρδια... μην τα ρωτάς! Αλλά όταν βρέθηκε και το ραμολί, με έπιασε μια νοσταλγία για τη δουλειά, που τουλάχιστον οι άντρες ήταν δεμένοι στο κάθισμα! Χιχι! I love Greece! Live your myth baby!! :)

    @Audrey - Thank you dear Audrey! Your kindness is so much appreciated! Have a lovely day :)

  37. My summer was very quiet and relaxing! The pics were taken last year, when I was working for an air-crane company! (that was indeed interesting). I missed your posts too, but I figured that you probably were busy and not in a blogging mood! (same here actually). Happy fall dear!!
