As I sit here in Yorkshire with the HEATING ON I’m feeling just a little jealous. Keep your posts coming Dennis. Next time you pass Byzantium try & say hi to Andrew & Tommy. If I’m not mistaken, Tommy is currently sporting pink hair. Quite a character I believe 😀

I briefly dabbled with the heating when I got back as it was exactly 15 degrees colder than when I set off. However once the house got warmed up it was too hot and its since been switched off. Not living in Yorkshire though.

Enough about wusses and gurls. I went to see the camera man and he gave me two website addresses for it. Www.skiathos.gr and www.n-skiathos.gr. Both are rubbish so it’s a good job he gave me the direct line - 94.70.242.174 Watch and admire. It is set to change automatically every 20 seconds. He likes that. Sadly, he didn’t offer me the password to access the controls, so I think the new arrangement could be better. However, we now have lovely views.

I've updated my recent reports with some photos at hopefully appropriate points for anyone interested.

Wow Dennis - good work with the webcam man! Am now looking forwards to many hours of obsessively watching the world go by!!! (Much better than housework 😉)
You must say hi to Andrew & Tommy, as you’re near neighbours. If you do, urge them to post a holiday report on here. Am sure it would be hilarious. I also met Judith-of-the-ribbons, back in June. We met up for a couple of drinks one night in town - actually got marooned in a bar in a thunderstorm! She’s a lovely lady ..... and is quite tanned!
Looking forwards to hearing more on your holiday ...... when is your birthday? 🎈🎈🎈

Brilliant to see the webcam up and running. Well done Dennis, your persistance had paid off. Lovely clear pictures, although it does seem to freeze now and then. Probably just teething problems. 🍺🍺🍺. DO I DETECT A WAVING SESSION COMING ON TO LAUNCH THIS SERVICE? Bob

Dennis, are you going to post the web address on SKIATHOS Old Boomerangers? I mentioned that your campaign had been successful and posted a screen grab but didn't want to deminish the credit due to you by posting the address. Bob

No, Bob, I’m not posting it on FB. I think the freezing is buffering- it’s a pretty high spec camera, so maybe Skiathos Dimos website is not dead good at handling the traffic.
I have to to say I can NOT take any credit for the arrival of the camera, as I did nothing to help it happen. I will take credit for telling you all about it.

I have been struggling to upload photos of screenshots from the new webcam, to guide you to my waving site. But Photobucket isn’t cooperating. So, when the time comes, I’ll wave from the corner of the ferry landing, in the sort of elbow joint below the Bourtzi. It’ll be quite a palaver - with camera shots changing every 20 seconds, and there being at least six different views, I reckon I’ve got to wave like a complete plank for two minutes none stop to be sure I’ve shown on camera.

Dennis, you belittle yourself, your efforts with regards to getting the webcam reinstated have been above and beyond, thank you. I am thinking a salute rather than a wave may be more appropriate to mark this momentous occasion

Well Dennis, do you have any previous experience of waving like a plank? As far as the blame, sorry, I meant to say credit, is concerned, I'm sure the Town Hall would recognise the part that your nagging played! 😄 Even Ian gave you some credit on his blog! Well done sir. I'll be looking closely at the next Honours List! 😉😉😉 Bob
