A playful seal, burnt wood that looks amazing, and a load of free books

Something’s out there…

What is everybody looking at? Believe it or not, they’re looking at the water waiting for a seal to come out!

A couple minutes before I took this photo, my husband, Andy, and I spotted a seal in the water, practically playing peek-a-boo with us, diving, and splashing about with its fin. We exploded in loud squeals, pointing to the water excitedly.

This caught the attention of the people next to us, and soon, everyone was looking at the seal. It didn’t seem to mind getting all that attention and just kept splashing and diving, all the while, facing the excited humans. It almost felt like it was giving a show on purpose, bless its little heart!

And that wasn’t the first time we saw a seal in these waters, would you believe? Last summer, Andy and I were far in the deep waters alone one morning. All of a sudden, this thing that I can only describe as a leathery off-white ‘plank’ surfaced and moved past us, right in front of us, at a very small distance. We both froze, and panicked too, I have to admit, in case it was a dogfish…

You’ll find in there a load of FREE kindle books, photos from my local beachfront, and all about an ancient Japanese technique that involves blow-torching wood. My husband made this jewellery box using that technique. Doesn’t it look fab?

FREE books, pink skies and more feline naughtiness!

In an earlier post. I showed you Sissi’s currently preferred spot for catching birds. My husband took this photo the other day when he ventured outside, first thing in the morning. He took it to show me the small bits of feathers that were scattered everywhere before clearing it all up. Thankfully, he saved me from the sight of the poor birdie itself. By the time he’d found it it was much too late to change its sad fate.

On a happier note, here is a feeder my husband rustled up for Sissi and her mother, Loulou, so they could get some sustenance during our short breaks away from home last month. This meant we only had to ask our kindly neighbour to replenish the water bowl. Sissi went in straight to the feeder to eat when we placed it outside the first time, while Loulou, always skittish and over-careful, took a few moments to be convinced to go near it, let alone eat. Once she realized it had neither claws nor teeth, she was fine haha

In my latest newsletter, I am sharing a bunch of alluring photos, and even a short video, from the unforgettable experience I had of the sunset at Cape Sounio last month.

I make my newsletters fun by sharing photographs from my life in Greece and a bunch of kindle book freebies every time!

FREE books, sunny Greek photos, and a very naughty kitty!

Clever Sissi… but naughty too! (What’s new?)

This is Sissi’s favorite new spot for stalking little birdies. Usually in the morning, straight after her breakfast on the veranda, she will jump onto this pillar (or sit on the ground under this bush) and wait for the birdies to come. This bush is full of small black berries, not proper ones, as this is just a decorative bush (if that makes sense!) That said, I had a dog in the past that used to jump up high to eat these berries. I am guessing the birdies go on there often to taste them, and my clever little kitty has noticed.

It is often that my veranda fills with feathers and bits of wings in between breakfast and lunch while I’m busy on my computer. I guess a cat has to do what it has to do. I don’t judge.

As for Loulou, she’s taken to disappearing often after breakfast, most days skipping lunch and only showing up again for dinner. One day, she didn’t show up all day and I was really worried! So the next day I went out looking, calling out her name. Thankfully, I didn’t need to go far! Going to check on the first vertical street to ours, she responded by coming out to follow me home as soon as she heard me. It was just the third house down that street, an uninhabited dwelling. She probably goes there to sit all day to have some peace and quiet LOL

I’ve seen Sissi plenty of times chasing her mother Loulou for a wrestling match when the latter is not in the mood at all, hence responding viciously, then running away. I guess bad manners have repercussions even for cats! Sissi never likes to be alone, and meows desperately when she is. Let’s hope she works it out soon – why Mummy runs away, LOL! Only she can fix this 🙂

Loulou, basking in the sunshine, on a rare occasion when Sissi doesn’t feel inclined to vex her, LOL!

Awesome FREE books and Greek summer delights #Greeksummer #Greecefromhome #Greekfood

Hello, All! The famous Greek summer is here and I’m finally enjoying swimming and sunbathing on the local beach, now that the weather finally got warmer. My naughty cats are still keeping me suitably entertained, and I’ll share more on that later! Today, I have two events for you with awesome FREE books, plus a giveaway to win a $35 Amazon shopping spree! But first, here’s my current best bargain:

Only 99 cents worldwide! A delightful paranormal romantic comedy

When Katie loses her job, a gypsy woman hands her an amulet for good luck. Next, she gets hired as hotel receptionist on a Greek island where Aggelos, one of the guests, saves the day whenever she needs help. Katie falls in love with him, unaware that he is a guardian angel that came with the amulet… Aggelos keeps acting strangely, his friends are just as quirky, and by the time the gypsy turns up on the island, Kelly’s bewilderment has become unbearable. Will she ever work out what’s going on? And can she get her happily ever after?

VISIT AMAZON

Heads up, bookworms! All books are FREE in both events below.

Do you enjoy the odd newsletter I share here with my Greek news from time to time? To guarantee that you won’t miss a single one, please follow the link at the bottom of my newsletter to sign up. You’ll get two free books from my back list instantly!

Before I end this, to say I hope you’re all keeping safe. This summer is weird for us all… and it’s not always easy to stay upbeat, I know, but I try to cheer myself up with little things. Like this meal I cooked and enjoyed with my hubby on Saturday night, for example. Awesome Greek meals like this make me dream of candlelight dinners at traditional tavernas by the sea. The closer to the shore, the better… Though nothing beats a homemade roast with lashings of tzatziki dip, in my humble opinion.

Wait, what was that? Did you just say you buy tzatziki instead of making your own? Oh no, you don’t know what you’re missing… Try making it from my easy recipe and you’ll never buy the nasty bought stuff again!

So tell me… How’s your summer so far? Make sure to comment below and let me know. I’d love to hear from you 🙂
