The heat is on!!!

38 degrees yesterday and we wanted to go out on the water to seek sheltered private coves to swim and cool off.  There is a boat hire place near us at Aghia Kyriaki and so we hoofed it down to hire a power boat.
Alas the waves were too big for the boat hire guy to be hiring out. 
So we popped along to old favourite Antisamos beach instead. Not very sheltered and certainly not private, but the sea is wonderful there and once we paid for the sunbeds and beach umbrella we had a small patch of shade to hide under when needed.

With my trusty vivitar camera I donned a snorkel and ventured under the water to catch some video action of the fish at Antisamos.

But my snorkelling wasn't too successful.

Hubby kindly donated his bread from the swordfish lunch he had eaten at the Antisamos beach taverna and with young son in tow I went back into the water with the camera and without the snorkel.

This is the result achieved by standing in the water with the camera beneath the surface and while young son holds bread to attract the fish.

It is amazing how many varieties and how many fish wanted that little piece of bread.

There was a real feeding frenzy going on.

Update on the Powercats saga... frankly getting sick and tired of the whole thing, but our solicitor and barrister are working hard and our latest communications with the Cornwall Trading Standards Office and the Freedom of Information Office show a great deal of promise for a successful resolution.

I found that Mark Twain (the nome de plume of Samuel Langhorne Clemens) has some very interesting quotes which tie in wonderfully with my personal ethics and here I share them with my readers.

Always tell the truth; then you don't have to remember anything. 

Why shouldn't truth be stranger than fiction? Fiction after all, has to make sense.

The glory which is built upon a lie soon becomes a most unpleasant incumbrance. How easy it is to make people believe a lie, and how hard it is to undo that work again!
