my favourite day of the week

~ friday
~i love fridays
~ there's a whole weekend ahead
~ i'm rarely stressed on a friday
~~~~~
yesterday was a national holiday;
we celebrated our 1940 resistance against the italians-
unfortunately, it was raining so the parade was cancelled;
we didn't get the chance to see our baby parade in his traditional costume, holding a greek flag;
but there was a celebration at his school on wednesday with poems recited by the children and songs that the soldiers used to sing -
my headmaster agreed to let me go see my son instead of going to my school's celebration, so i was with him~ a proud mommy, indeed!




hubby came on wednesday evening and he'll be staying till sunday afternoon
( i much rather say 'he'll be staying' than 'he'll be leaving');
he's at the nearby village now, helping a friend with some construction work he's doing -
little one is still at school, so this is my quiet time;
Joni Mitchell keeps me good company~
no plans for the weekend;
i think we're having a slow one.
what about you?
~~~~~
have fun whatever you do!
i won't spend much time online- i've got lots of books to read (thank you nice people who send books!) and a crochet blanket to work on (it's very cold here) so talk to you all next week
~~~
take care!

Love the costume photo! And the one of all the little ones heads:) I am, for some reason, always amazed at how other parts of the world are realy not so different from ours....from the scenery you photograph to the myriad hair colors on the youngsters in your son's classroom!

Hi Yiota,
I've so enjoyed catching up with the happenings in your world. Your blog is such a lovely and restful place to visit. Isn't it interesting how the "aura" (so to speak)is different from blog to blog? I like your blogs aura ;) You know, I was thinking about this earlier, what a profound gift it is that a blogger attempts to give. It's really such a special thing, to open ones door and heart to strangers. These warm intimate glances into others lives are a treasure. Thank you for being open. It's beautiful!
