There are great plates all around really. The top one is the taverna plate at the Glisteri taverna on the beach welcoming us for lunch; then there is a plate of the best Skopelos goat in Skopleos and a plate of the best Skopelos egglant in Skopelos . Then there are the great plates (ready for more printing) in the current Skopelos edition.
We've survived another day of a slowish start, studio drop, me to beach, him to plates, me to studio to collect him for lunch and afternoon beach and then back to the studio.
Last night I also survived the very friendly and glamorous Russian hairdresser who came to Skopelos 14 years ago for a holiday and stayed. Her son now also works in the salon. It opens for typically Greek business hours-6pm-10pm weekdays and all day Saturday. The scene is no appointments, you just turn up, join the queue and watch with interest as everybody, men, women, young and old 'get done'. It's a small salon and there are no magazines so everyone seems to take a keen interest in whatever is happening at the hands of the hairdresser. My needs were translated from English into Greek and Russian and had a little international sign language thrown in for good measure. My Wella colour card from Darwin (provided by my hairdresser) has translated into a slightly bolder red as it did 3 years ago.
The road works to the beach have continued with no obvious pattern but plenty of emotion between the road gang and with road users.
