Showing my wee scottish niece around athens, aegina, marathon, and all the greek tavernas and bars we had time for 1 Jun 2026 Athens Greeknotes 24 May A lot of eating with a visitor, my first attempt at tzaktiki, and finishing a book and a bot. 24 May 2026 Embassytown by China Miéville Πολύ ωραίο. Set on a planet on the far end of the universe, the interactions between the human ambassadors engineered to be able to speak the double language of the curious but benign (and extremely strange) native aliens. 23 May 2026 Athens Greeknotes 19 May Another visitor! My art teacher from my schooldays arrived in athens so we do all the sights and eat all the foods 19 May 2026 Athens Greeknotes 10 May Greece's best sandwich, a poor man's Metallica gig, a good book, a great gig, jasmine and a hoopoe. Burning the candle at one end. 10 May 2026 Ditz @ Arch Club, Athens Schlepped my way across all of athens to catch Ditz – one of brighton's finest bands – and they did not disappoint. 9 May 2026 My Family and Other Animals by Gerald Durrell I very much enjoyed this 1956 autobiographical story by Gerald Durrell, who aged 10 moved to Corfu from england in the 1930's with his eccentric family. Beautiful descriptions of the idyllic greek island, and his relentless collecting of all the fauna thereon as pets. 5 May 2026 Athens Greeknotes 3 May A friend visits from Rhodes for the May Day holiday, thus bars, foods, sights and a welcome night out dancing at An Club in Exarcheia 3 May 2026 Athens Greeknotes 26 Apr A week of temples, tavernas, musuems, and beaches with my visiting parents. Also eating an astonishing amount of greek food. 26 Apr 2026 Athens Greeknotes Apr 19 Double greeknotes due to double-easter slackness last week. Big easter celebrations, a great book, a viral post, exploding trousers, and my parents arrive! 19 Apr 2026 Last and First Men by Olaf Stapledon A towering work of sci-fi. Written in 1930, it charts the history of humanity from the inter-war period to 5,000,000,000,000 AD. The premise is the cycle of human evolution and extinction in 18 civilisations, from current earth to the last men. 11 Apr 2026 Athens Greeknotes Apr 05 Another deadly storm (Erminio) lashes athens. Printed Athens ART Weekend in kypseli, meze at a friend's taverna, and dog sitting one of the biggest dogs I've ever met. 5 Apr 2026 Athens Greeknotes Mar 29 Failing to take advantage of Greek Independence Day, The First Cemetery of Athens, and a piss up in a brewery. 29 Mar 2026 Mrs Dalloway by Virginia Woolf Like a moth returning to a slightly boring and plotless flame, I couldn't resist picking up another one of her books after noticing it had entered the public domain. 29 Mar 2026 Athens Greeknotes Mar 22 A cold and grey week in athens, improved by taverna food, cats, dogs and I suppose, by a half marathon. Although my legs disagree. 22 Mar 2026 Athens Greeknotes Mar 16 One good day in Petralona, but mostly laid up with a cold in sunny greece. 16 Mar 2026 The State of the Art by Iain M. Banks I saw discourse on bluesky about a radio 4 adaption which prompted me to realise I'd not read this one. What a joy it is to discover an un-read banks, king of sci-fi. 14 Mar 2026 Athens Greeknotes Mar 08 Athens in spring. Three bars, two greek classes, and one trip to the beach. 8 Mar 2026 Athens Greeknotes Mar 01 A short sunny but cold week in athens – school, books, an incredible art gallery and hanging out in pangrati. 1 Mar 2026 The Goulandris Museum of Modern Art Exceptional. A piece or two by pretty much every master artist you have heard of, cezanne, pissaro, miro, matisse, monet, picasso, rodin, latrec, degas, pollack, hepworth, lichtenstein etc. 1 Mar 2026 The Good Soldier by Ford Madox Ford Absolute cuck festival. Pretty depressing tale of uk/us aristo's behaving poorly with one another. 1 Mar 2026 Flowers for Algernon by Daniel Keyes Deeply affecting, I read it all in one evening. I can see why it won the Nebula and Hugo awards. 25 Feb 2026 Athens Greeknotes Feb 23 My first trip to a Saronic island – Aegina. Temples, food, deserted beaches, mountains, friends, sunshine, and an impressive amount of pistachio produce. 23 Feb 2026 Revelation Space by Alastair Reynolds A bit Iain Banks-ish in scale, but without the humour, violence, sex, or horror, unfortunately. I think this was his first book, and it looks like he's written loads more. A page turner despite being a bit too long. 22 Feb 2026 Exhalation: Stories by Ted Chiang I don't generally go in for short stories, but I took a punt on this one as it kept popping up in sci-fi book circles. 15 Feb 2026 Athens Greeknotes Feb 15 Starting in-person Greek lessons, an extreme old man bar, mein running shoe kampf, and a load of food and drink. 15 Feb 2026 Athens Greeknotes Feb 02 Une pote arrive , bangers and mash, living on plato's estate, and dogsitting cinnamon. 2 Feb 2026 Athens Greeknotes Jan 25 A deadly storm in athens cancels a trip to the ionian islands, so a boring week of indoor pursuits. New and old kafenions in petralona and iraklio, and a load of shopping for new gear. 25 Jan 2026 1600km shoe review – Saucony Endorphin Speed 3 I have run the arse off these things over the last 16 months. They have been pounded around the streets of istanbul, the length and breadth of athens, and up and down the seafront at brighton, and probably still have a few kms left in them if I kept gluing them back together. 24 Jan 2026 Older blog posts Home Blog About Photos Runs Projects Contact Crap OK Good Amazing Mastodon Pixelfed Bluesky Email RSSenenhttps://felix.gripe
