Strawberry Daquiris & Mojitos!

They've given me another haircut - everyone seems to like it, but frankly I feel naked!!!! Big P did it on a hot and humid morning - I was left shorn and embarrassed, and he finished with my 'champagne' locks plastered to his sweaty arms, legs and forehead....... it wasn't pretty!!!!!
So the Bolton 13 are leaving tomorrow - the dads tell me it's been a pleasure - a nice group of people - the Robs are great fun, and little Sue, and Patrick and Val - but I heard on the grapevine that Little Lil has a thing for Charley............... As for Patrick - every night... 'more Nolans, more Nolans' - it can be quite wearing, apparently!
Ivan and Jane popped over a couple of times - Big P played the Divine Minnie Ripperton for them (it's their tune, apparently) - 26 years - Mr M says she must be a saint..............
Have heard rumours of young Elliott and Lauren hanging around in bars until all hours - but didn't believe it - they seem such nice kids. Also heard about Pam & Craig staying out later this year - I can believe it, as after all he was once leader of his local Hell's Angels chapter, and Pam is still renowned for her pole dancing (don't mention the ping pong balls)!!!!
Went for a walk through the Agora today with my dads, Her Silliness, and the 'cousins' - Harvey and Tady. Tenia from the Blue Fox is looking fabulous, as always - Nick the Knife was lovely to the boys - Betty waved hello........ It's not a great year for Molyvos - it's a shame - the Agora, the Harbour, the beach - it's so beautiful, and people try so hard..............
More soon..... x

Mid-July - Hot Hot Hot!!!

Last night was the busiest night of the summer so far - the harbour area was properly 'buzzing' for the first time this year (the Greeks have arrived) ....... which restaurant did we hear almost lost it totally in the service department (whilst food quality, as ever, remained excellent)???
Dads were so busy that Big P had little time to finish off his customary litre of house white.......

They came home at 4.45am last night, with the following tales.....
I understand that once appropriate adjustments were made, the thing managed just to contain J's capacious bosoms - but sequins, really!! Dads tell me, though, that even such kitsch sparkliness failed to dim her classic beauty & enviable figure!!
Mr T-Shirt failed to impress last night, and will, sadly, be unable to top the one with the missive referring to monkeys and spanking............ what's that all about?
Our Sangria is going well (made to my own special recipe). One lovely couple managed three litres between them - apparently bets were on as to whether the descent downstairs from the toilets might end in disaster, but both carried it off with aplomb.......................
Who was on the boat 'fishing', whilst friend Sean waited patiently (and it seems drunkenly) on the balcony, bonding with Sam's mum?
Isaac, you're a lovely lad - a credit to mum and dad (I don't care what they say, there's nothing wrong with your hair)......... apparently your dad's shirt caused a stir (or rather the pattern looked like something that needed a stir)..........
The Bolton 13 - they've arrived, bless them - and the dads are having to indulge Patrick with his need for regular Nolan hits every night now.......... what fun!
Babis next door to us (he's a half-blind flea beaten old mongrel) tells me that his mum and dad, Maro & Manoli, had a couple of shots at the bar last night - lovely people................. she looked fably bouffanted as per, and he ruggedly handsome................ They sat with lovely restaurant people (my dads' favourites), and a bevy of antipodean beauties.
Meanwhile Mr Dutch model sat whiling away some time with a former flame on the balcony!!! I've been told to mention that another restaurateur, the Divine Miss E, was a stunning vision in white............ happily, though, the 'girls' managed last night to keep conversation above the waistline, unlike the previous night!!!!
Our 'boys' are a little low-key at the moment - Arturo is pensive, and The Lothario is edgy.... But Nicos is back in town and on the Campari Sodas...
New music video clips includes 'the Banana Boat Song' from Beetlejuice.... Candi Staton's Suspicious Minds for John who leaves today, and the rather dodgy Jobim version of One Note Samba - thank God for Youtube. All good fun - more soon - Millie would say hello, but is far to preoccupied snoozing & dribbling on the sofa in front of the fan...........................

Some Like It Hot......

A new month begins, and it seems like Summer has finally started in Molivos.... My dads tell me it's been a slow start - something about a 'credit crunch' (a recession by any other name) in the UK. Of course the football didn't help... Still during the past week the daytime temperature has topped out at around 35 degs - nice breeze, though, and there seem to be more people around. Only yesterday on stinky beach there were tourists - I mean, really!!!!! Big P couldn't swim naked (a relief to us all)!!!!!!!
My bar is doing well - with an ever-changing cast of characters, and our regulars. I understand that the delicious Lynn (so described by The Lothario) is a little tired of being mistaken for me (you'd think she'd be flattered - we are, after all, both gorgeous blondes - although I am, of course, considerably younger).
Just a word to Paul & Sue - everyone else can find the bakery - why can't you?????
Apparently two lots of 'Paul & Sues' at the moment - good fun, and keeping dads out far too late at night...... Derek here at the moment with new woman Dawn - lovely - good fun - but didn't bring any dog treats (something about flea collars for the harbour cats - come on, Derek - priorities)!
Dads tell me that local friends are supporting us well at the moment. The Lothario and Arturo are with us almost every night - The Lothario has provided organic veg to the dads - very impressive and strangely shaped cucumber!! Stratos, who henceforth shall be known as Lovely Chap is in most nights, and Tall Dark and Handsome from the coastguard (only decency prevents me from recounting his recent experience at the hands of......).
The new and exciting owners of Opus opposite had a drink last night - charming all with their sparkling wit and charming repartee!!!!!!! I understand they are great musicians, if not lively raconteurs.........
Miss T, the nanny, is apparently enjoying Congas on a night out, but had a nicer time the other night meeting young tall Nick, and Stelios the Fox - nice boys (congrats Stelios - you're an uncle - oh my God - that makes the delicious Tenia a granny.............).
Gossip? Me? Never! Whose wife was recently scouring the bars looking for errant husband? May be we'll never know.....
Quick hello to Mr M's six ladies from the Marilena - especially the travel agent - isn't Molivos wonderful!!!!!!!
At home all remains the same - too many cats - and Millie is becoming far too porky...... a little more attention and more cheese or biscuits wouldn't go amiss, but on balance life ain't too bad......................

June & Football RIP!

Ok - so we do understand that holidaymakers like it hot, but this June (like last) has been exceptional - what's a furry girl to do with temperatures consistently in excess of 35 degs........ Thank the Lord they don't take me down to the bar in the mornings anymore - poor Lynn has to do most of the morning cleaning - huge compensation comes with permission to listen to Radio 4 'Woman's Hour' whilst sweeping up last night's tobacco mountain (the dad's swear that more tobacco ends up on the floor than inside most roll ups - eh, Arturo?).
Big P had the night off last night, and stayed at home with us (cramped my style a bit, as usually watch a porn channel - all jokes about 'doggy-style' disallowed). He's not been well so Mr M and Lynn stepped into the breach.... Lindy Loo and Sweet Soo are still her for another few days, enjoying the company of various 'old' friends. I understand Mas Que Nada was played last night, which means that the Lothario was in (no names, no pack drill).... Nick 'the knife' regaled all with his fascinating tales - whilst also managing to promote local sales of hunting/fishing knives, leather items & knick-knacks. One day a leather fetishist, with a plaster God/trout complex will walk through his door, and Nick will clean up!!!!
Lindy Loo and Soo are having trouble remembering some Greek names and have assigned nicknames to some of our regulars. Suffice to say 'Richard Gere' aka 'Left of the Terrace' was in last night with his lovely wife........
Not ones to gossip......... But did L & P go home together last night, or go their separate ways? Mr M is saying nothing (probably because he doesn't know).....
A quick Happy Birthday to Linda the baker's wife (sounds like a character from Happy Families card game)..... She had her birthday bash a couple of nights ago - 21 again - and again, and again!!!!
By the way, I've just learnt that no one believes I'm only five years old - the dads are telling people I'm 35 - something about dog/human years. Really, we shouldn't be discussing a lady's age. Now then, where are my fags? Do you think they have doggie botox?
I'll have to go soon as Big P wants to download videos for tonight. Something about Nelson Mandela, Glastonbury, and giving the customers what they want (more bloody Winehouse probably). He keeps saying we should have more contemporary music in the bar and then gets drawn into Youtube nostalgia, ending up with more Suzi Quatro and cheesy TV themes)!!!!!
Oooh just have to mention - quite strong wind this morning (lovely and refreshing) - did notice, though, that Chris' bush was trembling quite vigorously!!!!
Take care all dog lovers x

Very Hot Today!

33 degs today in Molyvos - expected to be up to 36 tomorrow. So Grateful that Big P went to Argos when last in the UK and purchased a dog hair trimmer. OK, so stylistically speaking the dad's just ain't Vidal Sassoon, but at least I don't feel like I'm walking around with a flokati strapped to my back in the hot sun. Millie's answer to the heat is simply to shed hairs around the house, so that in the wind they gather together and float around like tumbleweed in the Wild West!!
Just need to say a quick hello to Ricky dog - I know he's been in the bar when I wasn't there one evening - unmistakable scent - much like his dad, Tom! I've heard he's looking pretty foxy at the moment - Ricky that is, not Tom........
Apparently, the football is playing havoc with Molyvos business at the moment - shame, but nothing to be done. Apparently my bar is a haven for those not wishing to watch.... Strange how some are drawn to a bar that consistently plays video clips of Donny and Marie Osmond, and the opening titles to Dallas and Dynasty... No accounting for taste. I understand that my dads' friend Janet was recently nigh on orgasmic to hear MATT Monroe warbling To Russia With Love - no accounting for taste!! Still it easy to get carried away on a half glass of Rose with water!!!
Irini and family are currently here - haven't seen her myself (recent nights I've been glued to Chelsea's decline into drug hell on 'Enders). I believe she's looking fabulous. Certainly in strong voice - I understand The Adam Ant classic 'Stand and Deliver' has rarely sounded quite so......... forceful!!!
We've been poring over Youtube, trying to accede to popular customer request for new videos - found a copy of Creedence Clearwater Revival performing 'Bad Moon Rising'.. so dads are hoping nice Dutch couple come back in sometime soon to watch this 'classic' performance. And I really feel that I should put it on record young Nick (you know who you are) - I'm the one that vetoed Jethro Tull. I mean - we do have a reputation!!!!

It's June Already!

Ok - so it's taken a while to get down to this blogging malarkey- sorry - imagine if you had furry paws - it ain't easy!! Well - the bar's been doing well - with Lynn's able assistance, of course. I mean, Paul & Martin do their best, but they've needed a woman's touch around the place......... By the way, her salsa moves are already becoming legendary...... Last night they tell me there was much dancing - salsa, disco...... Jan, Anita, Dolph, Nigel...... and even Lambros from downstairs! Mr Bamboukos and Lakis were on the balcony offering appropriate encouragement I understand...... When the dancing started Paul and Martin apparently faded into the background (Paul was acting as impromptu DJ, he says - probably just counting the takings - that's my Dad)! The weather is now finally glorious - a bit hot sometimes when I'm out on walks with Silly Milly - but usually one or other of the dads will take me down to 'Stinky Beach' (more of that another time) so we get a bit of a cooling soak.... Two days ago we had an afternoon thunderstorm - I really couldn't care about the thunder - but the 'Silly' dog was shaking like a real wuss, and hiding under the bed!!!!!!! There are still too many cats in this place - Sid's ok, no trouble, and Rita - even Eddie (he's hardly ever home). Whitney's a good mate - she likes to come on dog walks with us. But Phoebe's eaten too many plants for my liking (getting us all into trouble). The newest one is in big trouble having mistaken Paul's lip for a place to rest her claws. I understand he's trying to promote the resulting scar as something 'hard' and 'macho' - but people draw their own conclusions upon hearing the blemish resulted from the actions of a cat called Lily...................................

Hi - this is my first time!!!!!

Will write more fully soon....... Unfortunatley it took Paul so long to work out how to set this blog thing up, I've no time to write before siesta (a doggy needs here sleep, you know)....
