Shopping and Lunch Time in Kos for WWW

Feta Salads and Something Spicy

After a lengthy shopping spree, time to give the tummy some fuel. What better food for thought, or to eat at lunch, brunch, dinner… Well basically during any type of meal: A plate filled with veggies, fruit and feta cheese. That full plate would scare even my niece!

Meanwhile, admiring the local fruit artist at work, when carving masterpieces into the melons (fresh from the near by farms by the by!). Next step, some decorated lemons!

But, after all this sweet stuff, maybe it’s time for a little puff, and puff you will, huff too, after tasting the spiciest of peppers! Maybe afterwards, a game of checkers?

Dolls and Carpeting!

“Deck the halls with Dolls a hanging,
Fa la la la la la la la!”

All kinds of oddities, amongst these commodities. But what scared me the most,
was not the ghost, of Christmas past, but the barbie like dollies, hanging with faces filled with the jollies!

As the initial shock subsided, I decided, it was time, for some unique furniture. And what better,
than a chair filled with carpets! Who ever thought of that, must have been the smartest!

Sponge Bob’s Cousin and a few Hats

img_3554

When browsing the market, trying to figure out what to get, for friends and family, to find that sure bet. So, who did we run into, but Sponge Bob’s cousins! And best of it all, you could get them on a dime a dozen! What a big family!

When in Rome, or in this case Kos, try on a trendy hat. Center of the attention you’ll soon be, in good or bad that may be, when people on the street will shout “Won’t you look at that!” But never you mind, just be kind, smile and do a little routine, like Gene.

Bargain Hunting

Jewels, porcelain and knickknacks. Some of it handmade and made to last.
If you were looking for a bargain with some local jargon, then this is the place.
So many shops and nice things, you could spend a few days! Shopping that is 😉

En route

En route, in a crowded bus. Time for a selfie, but of course.
On today’s menu: Shopping, shopping, shopping, with a break for lunch and plenty a coffee!
Weather forecast: Sunshine and extremely hot, leaving sweat stains on every spot.
Remember to drink plenty of fluids, because dehydration, can be an ugly sensation!

Posted in A Quote a Week Tuesday

Thankful

“I am thankful for all those difficult people in my life,
they have shown me exactly who I do not want to be.”

Quote a Week Tuesday: 2016-09-06

For this week’s quote, I have chosen a little something to tickle the funny bone 😉
I picked this one up from Bill Murray, but I assume this quote has been around for a little while longer!

“As I’ve grown older, I’ve learned that pleasing everyone is impossible,
but pissing everyone off is a piece of cake. Much more fun too!”

As I have grown up older, I have learned that pleasing everyone is

Suburban Living for Mundane Monday

Suburban Living for Mundane Monday

Something old
Something new
Something borrowed
Something blue

An image from yesteryear
On an odd surface appeared
Reflected against the modern
In this city of the northern
A reminder of older times
When living was ‘roses and wine’
Or so they say,
To keep the youth astray

But whether,
Something old
Or whether,
Something new
Even with
The best of view
Both still could be
Golden

Take a Seat in Suomenlinna for Seat Sunday (Six)

Take a Seat in Suomenlinna for Seat Sunday

“When in Finland, sit like the Finns do”

Seat in the Sunshine

Basking in the sunshine
Older seats created, before my time
Sit down, you’ll feel just fine
Relaxing is great, once in a while
Before you know it, your face in a smile
A memory lasting into your file

Take a Seat in Suomenlinna for Seat Sunday

“When in Finland, sit like the Finns do”

Seat in the Shadow

Hidden, from prying eyes
Passersby, never realize
How very near, yet so far
These cozy and comfy seats are

Caturday in Kos Island

“Cats rule the world.” Jim Davis

What are you looking at?

“Are you looking at me?
You, looking, me?”

“Nah, I’m just resting here for a while
It’s cool, hope you don’t mind!”

“Well, as long as you remember,
You are in my turf now
So just move along before the clock hits September!”
