Wakey wakey everyone:) Just sat here thinking that in 26 weeks time we'll be back on paradise island! So, how does everyone get through the winter? Been trying to book a sunshine break for February. Alas, have decided to stay at home & have another hol in Skiathos later in the year. Here's to 2014 & trying to reduce my luggage weight!!!  |

I shall pass the winter reading everything that crops up on the forum, trying to find excuses to post something that will get me up above kelso's post count and into the realms of the next rank up from 'Junior Member'.  And of course daily visits to the webcams to keep myself in the picture. |

Your nearly there Dennis! Only 13 more posts!
To get me through the winter, I just look at the temperatures in Skiathos and think about lying on the beach in those temperatures!

look at daily blog, (loved recipe site on Saturday ) look at last years holiday photos on laptop,as I said on trip advisor forum the other day I read books featuring Greece, I get so wrapped up in them when im reading I can feel the sun.
Also plan your first meal when you arrive, where and what.
We are wishing our lives away arnt we ? I always have to have a holiday booked to look forward to, gets you through long winter days at work.

Also plan your first meal when you arrive, where and what. I'm afraid this exercise is no use to me - before we left last July, I booked "Toast" and Amstel to be served on my balcony at Villa Maria at 1pm on Friday 20th June 2014 and a grilled bass at 6pm in Salt and Pepper that evening. |

Well I can now say "25 weeks on Friday" Much earlier than our previous visits but sooooo looking forward to it. Dennisn, grilled sea bass will be my choice on 30 May  |

GRRR. Mine is 28 weeks.
Please remind them (if your sea bass is at Salt and Pepper) that I have ordered one for 20th June. I am toying with the idea of showing them how to fillet and bake it - my preferred serving method. But I wouldn't be showing them how I do it, I'm going to video my fish man filleting it (he even gets the little pin bones out), then Vera cooking it - dead simple, put in a dish, salt and pepper, no herbs or anything, cover with foil and bake for while. When it's ready, I don't need any help eating it!

Might just have to try Salt & Pepper dennisn. But, wherever we eat & drink it will surely be wonderful. Still thinking that we're gonna abandon thoughts of sun in February in favour of another Skiathos holiday. Can we do a 3 week break? Tempting |

They've just put the numbers online and I didn't win anything. Again. Ah well, at least I still have 20th June to look forward to.
