Diversity Rules

Over one whole month has passed since I last blogged - apologies - so much has happened, I barely know where to begin....
The bar - well, considering the overwhelming odds against us all - credit crunch, etc. actually things are going quite well for us. It helps keeping things relatively cheap, of course.... the prices, not me.... The usual suspects:
Frank and Sheila departed minus his spectacles, but with a new found respect and understanding of the peculiarities of local business practice!
Thankfully American writer man helped us all to understand how in future our choices of dinner venue should be made. Ably assisted by Ms Moribund from Holland!!!
The dads are enjoying meeting lots of 'newies' to the island, as well as returning friends - special mention to Mel & Shaz (newly grandparented), and The Undertaker and the Pole Dancer (she the victim of tentative gropage courtesy of our very own Christian the Danish Cub!!!!!).
Left Of the Terrace is doing well with his new venture - Ignati's old giros shop, and Elpida is enjoying Lyn's best Caipirinha cocktails.
Arturo and lovely wife have enjoyed several evenings together in the bar - aah, wedded bliss!!!!
The Lothario is still remaining touchingly loyal to lovely girlfriend from Petra, and a certain learned fridge man has announced impending fatherhood....... Said fridge man recently repaired our beer fridge - temperature reduced from a temperate 9deg, to arctic minus 5.... a little more work needed, as not at all practical to leave the fridge door open all evening.
Big P been involved in a neighbourhood squabble about excessive noise - not ours, you understand - all sorted now, as Big P backed down for reasons for a distinctly 'yellow' hue!!!! Personally, I feel I should have been allowed to assist, as am well placed for ankle biting!!!
At home all much the same - now that Big P feeling little better. Some of you will know that Big P has been faking - - I mean, suffering, and was hospitalised recently in Mitlini - he was swiftly discharged after realising that Mitilini hospital is nothing like Holby City (nobody said Tachicardic once, apparently)....... Meanwhile Mr M went out to rent a scooter for a couple of months a week ago, and came back having purchased one instead. We are now a one car, two bike two dog, six cat family......................................
Oh, and of course, Mr M's brand new car has finally arrived - it's red and goes very fast!!!!!!!
Big P is adding two photos two the blog for me - one is of Dutch lady who danced on the bar top a couple of weeks ago. The other - who are you (that'll teach Big P to leave his phone unattended)?
See you soon..... M
