We've had winds up to 80km/h overnight and a drop or two of rain but, that withstanding, the dreaded day is almost upon us. Walking up to the crossroads and hour or so ago, there is the sign we've all been waiting for:
Paraskevi - dromos kleisto [/size][/i] Tomorrow, the first of Roda's roads, that from the Compass to Theo's and on towards the sea, will be closed for the new mains drainage pipe to be installed. We expect the road to be closed for a week and it looks as though the next one on the agenda is from Top Gear to the Dolphin.

Is that a serious question, Dave, I never know with you? You will still have the problem of the pipes that lead to the main drainage system. I was told some time ago that everybody will be expected to connect to the system - at their own expense! Your guess, therefore, is as good as mine. ;D Another issue is a bit more technical and it relates to something very dear to my heart - Bernoulli's theorem of the 'Probability of Simultaneous Demand' - there, I've said it!! The biggest pipe I've seen so far, way outside of Acharavi, is 630mm. Now old Bernoulli knew a thing or two about plumbing and his theorem is based on the fact that not everyone in Roda will have a skinfull of Mythos and a hot curry at the same time. If they do, the question remains - will the system take it? Hope nobody is reading this while they are having their dinner! I guess somebody has designed the system for summer conditions and not for the 500 people in the village at the moment. If not, I'm blaming Bernoulli! ;D ;D So, Dave, will you be flushing tissue or not?? The answer, my friend, is blowing in the wind .... Steve
