JULY WEATHER ..... As promised last month, the temperatures have soared. Humidity has been high and the nights have been very sticky. Towards the end of the month the wind changed to the west and we had several cooler, fresher days.

It’s
that time of year again, when Wilf gets to put his feet up and Ann and
Richard step into the breach…. July
– probably the hottest month of the year, when the tourist industry is
in full swing. It is noticeable this year how few Brits are holidaying
here – but with the economic climate in the Like the majority of dogs here, he was sadly under-appreciated by
his owner, and was showing signs of arthritis and general misuse. I think
it is fair to say that when he died at the end of the month, no-one other
than us would have shed a tear over his passing. Sadly, he died from
eating rat-poison (not an uncommon event here), which is not an end you
would wish on anything other than a rat. |

Neither Richard nor I like killing anything, but I was prepared to make an exception in this case and dispatched it with a spade. (No easy task!) To add to the drama, that same evening Richard found a baby one inside the house. Horrors! It went the same way as its mama, I’m afraid. We were a bit unnerved to realise it must have got in under the door and initiated an extensive hunt for any other siblings. To date there
have been no other sightings, but we are a bit worried as it is unlikely
it was an only child! If there
are any reports in the near future of a woman in North West Crete seen
wandering around wearing fishing waders and body armour, it’s only
little me - snake-woman – in protective gear. |
