Oct 27, 2021: Fall is here

Strong wind from the North, lots of clouds. Fall has arrived. Not cold, but cooler. The driveway is littered with fallen olives. A month from now it will be harvesting time.

Oct 13, 2021: Running

 It started raining on Saturday and it is still raining, every day on and off,as I am writing this on Monday morning.
I own 2 smartwatches from Garmin: the Forerunner 245 and the Instinct Solar. I created a course on my computer in Garmin Connect, downloaded it in my Forerunner watch and yesterday I ran a 3 mile course in my neighborhood.

While running, a breadcrumb trail view showed me where to turn right, left or go straight. Worked perfectly.
This is a picture of my VO2 (Oxygen) blood saturation. I am officially 36 years old.....

Oct 08, 2021: Patra

 First serious rain since somewhere in April. Last night and some this morning.

 There are still clouds, but broken up and sunshine coming through. On Saturday I normally water the plants in the pots around the house: Not necessary this time.

Since I have been in Patras, I have seen this cruise ship has been docked here: No activities what's so ever.

Oct 04, 2021: Patras

I am now 1 year and 4 days in Patra. 



The weather is great, cool enough at night to sleep under 1 blanket (with windows open) and mosquitos and NoSeeUms are gone (dead I hope). So, I sleep deeper, not being woken up by a buzzing sound or itching hands.
