We are playing tennis many hours a day, then jogging, (this crazy Greek marathon idea is still alive, but 2014) then jumping in and out of the cold sea. This translates to a hell of a lot of sleep. F is in heaven...he plays three and a half hours of tennis a day in camp, makes chocolate cake and vegetable soup with Lydia and Filipo, the staff at the house...i.e. the famous butler who wears a tank top.. (for years he thought they owned it and we were their guests); and his cousins are arriving day after tomorrow. Should be some yucks when the girls arrive.
Thomas has taken up watching cricket in his free time, which makes me run from the room as if I am a vampire at the sight of daylight. I can watch almost any sport, but not that. Luckily the British open is about to start so things will get reaaaally exciting around here.
Oh ! the little Polish girl is back!! but she is huge now! not fat, but the whole cute kid in blue hat thing is gone. She looks like she could give the German army a thought or two. Kind of disappointing actually. Pinkie Dinkie has also been spied....he does not get larger, just thinner and whiter. This is the first year in a while we have not had guests.we miss the Sellies and Heather and Willem! even Boo was here back in the day...

I am getting funny texts from the Austrians about the summer party plans; K and my gay BFF have apparently got a few tricks up their sleeves already. Kids will go to soccer camp. Thomas and I will try to keep the weight on.
