On Thursday we went into Mandraki to collect the pork joint we had ordered for Xmas lunch and to do the shopping that was needed to see us over the holiday period.
Once we had fortified ourselves with frappe coffee and orange juice on our way home we saw some activity on the square. On closer investigation we discovered an 11kg fish for which lottery tickets were being sold. We bought one but were wondering what we would do with it if we won. Fortunately we were not so lucky.
Xmas day we spent quietly after Carmen and Peter came to lunch. where we had foie gras, pork ribs with potatoes, leeks, a Norwegian cabbage dish and a potato and cucumber salad (brought by Carmen). We finished off with a Tiramisu and a chocolate mousse (brought by Carmen). A simple but delightful meal in good company.
Despite the glorious weather on Thursday, when Svein went swimming in the harbour looking for our lost dinghy oars and the temperatures reached the mid 20s, it has today been overcast and windy but that did not dampen spirits.
