Guido, Groupie & an Exhibitionist!

They've been full of it all week, the dads - Guido this, Guido that...... Let me explain - A few weeks ago Big P received an e-mail from a guy called Guido Staps - wanting to play his guitar and sing in my bar..... Initially Big P was unsure - the bar's quite small, we've never done this before, & we had no idea if he's any good.... Thankfully Guido was persistent and he referred us to his various video posts on youtube.com.... Well, that was the decision made..... Look at the videos yourselves - he's very good!! The upshot is he played to a reasonably packed bar last Friday, and then again last night. Over 20 songs - really nice, talented guy, and well received by the great and the good of Molyvos, and assorted holidaymakers. Must also thank Simona the lovely girlfriend/Manager/groupie..........
Luckily last night was Vafios Ian's opening... He has an exhibition of paintings in the gallery down in the harbour. Dad's couldn't go as they were working but all reported that his work is wonderful, and quite unique. After the opening most visitors segued into the bar, so it was a very busy night (video footage will be available shortly on youtube if Big P can remember how to do it). Linda came for a while, but has a poorly tooth, bless her. Sylvia and Connie from Petra in attendance, the latter, as usual, surrounded by men (one of 'the boys' apparently is now her official personal fan operator - his wrist was quite limp by the end of the evening). Stuart (who built our actual wooden bar 5 years ago) and June were in, with Dave and the girls (a rare Sally sighting, included).... Charlie (the Family) and Annette also in attendance. The Lothario came later, with Arturo and Tomas and the ever-youthful Lindsey....... Jenifer and family came later, but thankfully she resisted a repeat of her pas de deux with Apostoli the Fridge man, from a few nights ago....... Never fear, though, as Nigel managed a quick partnered dance later in the evening..............
Musn't forget that on Friday Left of the Terrace, Elpida, Manuela and husband came for Guido, and loved him!!!!!
Must also mention that The Lothario last night confirmed his interest in the package recently arrived from Geneva!!!!
Bruno the Dog still hanging around the dads - they're soft touches - he's been given my food, and had a shower on my terrace - let's hope that his real owners realise what a lovely boy he is, and hang on to him..... Otherwise Timbo & Lol can ecpect a furry, brown, wet-nosed, slightly smelly delivery from us!!!!!!
Weather still incredible - 34 degs today, light breeze, and no sign of change......

We missed all the fun, our holiday didn't last that long !!!
Looking at raindrops now, we DO miss Lesbos (and you of course...).
Hope you'll have a great September.

Hugs from the lovely couple from the Netherlands, known as chanteuse and organ (also known as Ingeborg and Gerard).

I missed the fun too! Left the day before:( But it's good to see that you guys keep the drinks and the music coming;)!

I'm back in Oslo, with just a fading tan to remind me of lazy days in Molyvos. And, oh, yeah, that beautiful postcard from the bar:)

Hugs from Morten
