Sunday 14th - Last night I went along to Forkinas performance of Three-penny Opera and was again, amazed at the talented community of artists we have on Ithaca. They have one more performance tonight, so if you're on the island, get along. You'll really enjoy it. I guarrantee it.

Right - The video is from the 1953 earthquakes. It's in Greek, but the footage has a universal language. Thank you to Tilemaxos Karavias for posting it on his facebook page so we can all go back in time a little to the Ithaki of old.
April 2013 - Tuesday 9th - Starting a new page with a little wishful thinking that yesterdays weather may mean the end of the grey spell. We're keeping our fingers crossed. We'll just ignore that the temps actually dropped quite a bit with the fresher air and wind coming through.
It's that time of year again when the Ithaki Theater Group, Forkynas, puts on its annual performance for all those interested in theatre, entertainment or just some plain fun watching locals on stage show off their talents.
This year it's The Three Penny Opera. Shows will be on at the Cultural Center in Vathy on the 12, 13 and 14th of April. Doors open at 21.00 hr
If you're on the island, get along and support the Theatre Group. Forkynas is made up of very talented local actors and actresses, who are always a joy to watch.
NOTICE: 16th April from 6am, there will be no ferries sailing in Greece to a 24 hour strike by the PNO. Italian ferries will not be effected if Italian crews and if ports are not blockaded.
Wednesday 10th - Went a little crazy this morning with photographing around the south of Ithaki, but the light was perfect and evidence of Spring was all around.
Vathy village square had a tour group sitting at one of the Cafes, I saw the first bus tour for the season, and the weather is mostly helping Spring along today.
The posters say that the Threepenny Opera will commence on the 12th, but better keep your eyes out as there may be a change in the dates. Dates will be confirmed after this evenings rehearsal. It's about 95% certain the dates will stand, but if there are any time concerns tonight, Ithaki's Theatre Group performance may be postponed 1 week.
Saturday 12th - Last night was the premier of Ithaki Theater Groups performance of Threepenny Opera and by all accounts it was an amazing show. The play is still on for tonight and tomorrow night. I'll probably get along tomorrow night in hope of getting a little closer to the stage to take some pics.
The past few days have been just amazing weather wise. It's almost t-shirt time again. Jumpers and heaters are definitely off as we bathe in glorious sunshine under mostly blue skies.
Clear skies last night with a moon sliver low in the sky and starts all around.
Today is looking a little like we may have some rain coming again, but that's probably a good thing. There is still so much dust from the African weather that rained mud down on us last week, it would be good to have that washed away.
The temperatures are very mild now. It's a pleasure to be outside again, even if the sky looks a little rainy.
