Just noticed your post of 27th Feb.
I think I've said, on another topic, but what we miss, living in Corfu, is our 4 weeks holiday a year.
Oh to be in Arillas, walking distance to all the Tavernas that we love. Oh to be able to have those few extra drinks and not have to get in a car to get home.
( I can wobble back to a local appt as well as anybody )
We budget for about 56 nights out per year and probably 30 of those are between May to Sept. We are lucky here that Wegg, being a diddy person, has a small appetite and. quite often, has a couple of starters which fill her up. I can order less for me on the understanding that I can dispose of what Wegg doesn't want.
I calculate that we could go out 5 nights every week between May to Sept but in 4 years we would have shaved a year off our living in Corfu budget.
( Pity I can't win the Lotto)
All this said, If we can get to any big evening get together then we will. Even if it's only few a couple of drinks mid evening, just to say hello.
And, too be fair,all some people want is a quick hello.
( Personal time and all that jazz. Nothing wrong there. Holidays aren't appointments )
I love to put faces to names and, as said before, most afternoons I can be found in the Coconut.
To any forum member who hasn't met me then just come and say hello.
( After all - We know when you're here - We have the calendar.!)

ps. Off course I could get a regular 9-5 in the summer to go out more but then, that's what we came to Corfu to get out of.
