Finally!
The truck arrived with bricks and mortar.
I have many good things to say about Christos, but speed is not a word that characterizes him. This autumn he has been busy worrying about the Greek crisis, instead of getting the works organized so that we´ll avoid a personal crisis.
"We have plenty of time," is one of his favorite expressions.
While I am more: "Let´s get it done with. Now!"
Anyway, workers have been here all day.
Truck arrived and loaded bricks and mortar on the roof.
That´s a start!
The workers also promised they´d be back tomorrow.
Question is:
Will they work?
Will they start building the wall around the roof, so that we eventually can have the world´s finest yoga shala (or one of the best!) up here?
Or will they think about it?
And then go out for an ouzo?
Who knows.
This is Greece.
Watch this space.

Jeg krysser fingre for at de ikke går ut for å ta en ouzo og tenke over saken... for da tar det antakelig lang tid før det skjer noe.
ReplyDeleteMan må virkelig lære seg tålmodighetens kunst når man bor i et søreuropeisk land. Så lenge man bor i Norge og bare reiser på ferie til Italia/Hellas så syns man gjerne det er sjarmerende at folk har så god tid. Men den sjarmen falmer fort når man bor i landet og er prisgitt de samme folka... ;-)
Jeg er veldig spent på å høre fortsettelsen av denne historien. Du får holde oss oppdatert...
I believe it´s my destiny to live in Greece because I need to learn patience...:)
ReplyDeleteAnd I probably ended up here in Italy because of the same reason... ;-) Haven't yet made up my mind if it's a blessing or a curse....
ReplyDeleteGood luck, Tove! Sounds interesting what you are fixing...longing to see it ready!
ReplyDeleteBest wishes!
♥♥♥
Just decide that it´s a blessing, AFII, or you make your life miserable...:)
ReplyDeleteThanks, Eva - I long to see it ready, too!
Jeg glæder mig helt vildt til at undervise "on top of the world". Det bliver helt fantastisk!!
ReplyDeleteHåber de arbejder istedet for at drikke ouzo :-)
Jeg holdt opp på "å ende" i Hellas en gang jeg og.
ReplyDeleteVel, så ble nå ikke livet slik. Men et helt annet enn i Hellas.
Når jeg leser blogginnlegget ditt, vet jeg at den greske omtrentligheten og tregheten, ville ergret meg noe inni vassen...
