No Lemons



Mousmoula recipe to follow



I now know who Wally is, apparently called 'The Professor', and I don't think this is sarcasm for 'Michalis of all trades Master of None' as he seems to be a regular feature in my photographic record of the house build. In fact I wonder if he will be moving in with me as I have a spare bedroom. Depends if I have a snag list but so far doesn't look like it, he is super efficient.

Looks like my own version of 'Cardiac Hill' is being dealt with, otherwise my neighbours will never have got access to finish their house sometime in the future. The low hanging, swinging electric cables are now under ground alongside the plumbing. Rumours of a Kefalos Council Plumbing system are probably only that, unless the new Hotel complexes built or being built at the other end of the Bay need overflow facilities. Well they're not tapping into my Cesspit . It's supposed to last my lifetime, you've only got to do the Math. One person maybe twice a day plus washing machine and showers. Simple.



My own cardiac hill destined for Quad Bikes only is now gently sloping, being carefully landscaped for direct access into the carport instead of me having to leave the car at the top of the hill. I won't be pushing my dustbins up to the top however unless I fancy a cardio vascular stepping exercise as well as arm and leg muscle strengthening. They do come and empty them twice a week though, early morning and no worries about leaving your bins out over night.

Delicious with Greek Yoghurt Steeped in Ouzo

Schedule of works is apparently on schedule but bares no resemblance to a UK one so in line with the difference my friend Christine is currently growing Trees from seed for me for the garden. Orange, Fig, Mousmoula (Loquats) yet no luck with the Lemons, but then Ron never ate lemons. “Gin and Tonic, Ice no Lemon” so guess he's still keeping a close eye on his project along with Christine and Michalis. Mousmoula Jelly is so easy to make and delicious on toast ,Greek Yoghurt or Ice Cream.


Glyko Portokali recipe to follow


The race is on to beat the rainy season and should have a water tight house before long but no worries it's a good time to cook with fruit even if my trees are only about a foot high. Plenty of fruits to go round as I'm sure you've found at the end of a meal in any of the Family restaurants.So at least someone else will let me have some lemons.
