Friday

Friday, 2nd week already!

Today,  I was a plumber.   In previous days I was an electrician,   a wall painter,  and a gardener. (And a house cleaner,  of course. ) Tomorrow I will be an auto mechanic.   Then I think a gardener again.

The joys of home ownership are constant the world round.

Today,  we also found a modest olive oil museum in Skrip, the oldest village on the island, next to the islands history museum.   It was started by a man whose grandfather owned the village press and who wanted to try something other than building an apartment to rent to tourists. He did a fine job of presenting how the olive harvest used to be when a hand powered village press produced 350 litres of oil a day, working two shifts,   compared to modern presses which produce 5000 litres an hour.
