@goodlifegreece I spend a lot of thinking time in the garden or kitchen. Today I m remembering my student activist youth which I’d almost totally forgotten. But it did change me I good ways
Lots of people move to Syros for its beauty and great community and cultural life. But @sharon.zimbabwe tells me there’s more to a mid life renaissance than changing your postal code
I started learning flute when I escaped the old work life, as a protection against brain rot. But it was an exceptional teacher who taught me to fully engage and meet the challenge
@dangbendunn Ben talking to @sharon.zimbabwe curator of exhibition showing at Vati Gallery in Ermoupoli. Open until the 27th September
@goodlifegreece we normally have friends and guests for Sunday lunch. Here s the Ginger&Pear sugarless cake: dry ingredients, 1 cup almond flour, 1 cup oat flour, I tsp baking powder & half bicarbonate soda. Wet ingredients, three eggs, mashed banana, grated ginger and chopped pear poached in 1 spoon honey, tsp vanilla essence and grated skin of lemon. Mix wet and dry seperately. Then gently add together. Should be a soft dropping consistency. Make dryer with more flour or add@milk if too dry. It’s foolproof
@goodlifegreece we spend a lot of time on the beach catching up with friends as well as quiet reading times or to enjoy the sea breeze on a hot day. Ghida chose to celebrate her bday yesterday
@goodlifegreece life is simpler, easier less complicated. Especially when it comes to friendships. I can walk to their houses and walk to cafe catch-ups or wander down and join them on the beach
To make our island a cultural hub it takes a lot of creative contributors willing accept commissions and work in shows. Artists make nothing for their time and we are enriched by them. Seems unfair. @spiros_baras his cafe @plastico.cafe.gallery is a meetup place for many artists. One Finds Another is open till 27th Sept daily from 11-2pm and 7.30 -11pm
