It will be 'Clean Monday' in two days' time - the day that marks the start of the seven week fast in the run-up to Easter. The beach in Roda has been cleared so that families can get out and fly their kites, OPA taverna is setting out the tables for a one-day extravaganza of fish dishes, Drosia will be heavily booked, everyone is in party mood for the national holiday, but ....... we are going to get a cold snap! Temperatures will fall to around zero, with sleet forecast overnight on Monday, and the kite-flyers should have a field day with wind speeds up to 37km/h. Could be some good photos if I dare to venture out!
Drivers in central and western Macedonia have been advised to fit snow chains on their vehicles - time to get some logs in for the wood-burner, I think ......

The only jogging for me these days kaz, involves my memory, and even then I have to be quick! With the wind in this direction, I could get there on my bike, but I would have to stay until there's a southerly to get me back again.
