I know a woman with a dog, Pete, free to a good home - if you want one!

Ah Pete you have taken me back to my childhood - my Dad used to say he "was seeing a man about a dog" and we always thought we were going to get a pet!
best wishes, Kath

Apologies for the lateness Kaz, it's been a real scorcher today, 92 degrees last time i looked ! A good turn out at the F.G.T. at the HARBOUR BAR, thanks to Petra for the cake, also there were Tommiecox, Kathrippon & hubby, Big John, Jo & Mike, Boydies, Admiral, Jacks, Bill, Steve & myself, we all had a good natter about all things Roda. I think i spent more time in the sea than out of it today, off to help celebrate Alisha's birthday tonight - you know the score - any excuse for a beer or two, have you seen Steve's latest riddle ? i've not got a clue where it is. pete.

It's all eyes on the weather, Pete, as the last thing the syllogos want are high winds on Sunday night. If the sea is rolling in, it may well affect the 'varkarola'.
The forecast temperature for Friday has eased by 10C - but the maestro is still on its way sometime.

We were hoping to book the Erikousta boat trip for saturday but we're holding back for now to see if the Maestro is going to happen. Great night tonight, Maggie did Alisha proud with a lovely birthday cake, then we went walkabout till the small hours pete.

93 degrees & rising today, not a cloud in sight, Albania has been on fire for two days now, it looked like 6 large fires were on the go last night. The Chinese massage gang are becoming a pain in the rear, a few years ago it was just one old man who came past you on the beach once a day, now there are four of them constantly walking up & down , after being woken from my slumber for third time by the same one, i had to ask him what part of NO he didn't understand - he didn't ask again ! - at 18 Mythos a go he's not getting my money. Back to the quizzing tonight to see if we can improve a so far dismal record for this year. pete.

Everyone's short of money this year and I hear that visitors to other resorts are being generally pestered quite badly. Not too bad in Roda, but I have noticed the massage people are quite prominent.
Yesterday, I spoke to the first person ever who had agreed to have a massage - she said it was €20 for 25 minutes. The jury was out as to whether it had helped - but I guess that is normal.
I think Pete has the best approach - if you don't want to be bothered, then be firm from the outset - no need to be rude, but assertive maybe .. make sure they remember you!

Having seen their advertising card more times than a Roda sunset, i saw it was 45 euro for a full massage, hence the 18 Mythos. pete.

So there is another element of doubt - when is a massage not a massage? Clearly, there are different types and levels of massage - safer to say 'no' I think ...

Prices vary, they do a head, foot, half body & full body, another question occurs to me - are they qualified ? pete.

sounds like the 18 pints of Mythos was the right way to go....
