Hunting Easter eggs on the beach

Twelve-year-old N organised an Easter egg hunt for the Junior Trigirls to celebrate Easter Sunday. She wrote clues that started in the house and took them right to the beach. There were some mini chocolate eggs hidden with the first clues, some Kinder eggs towards the end and a big prize at the very end. It was brilliant and the Junior Trigirls were delighted. They have spent most of the rest of the day hiding their gradually diminishing egg supply for each other.

Trigirl went for a swim in the cold cold sea today. She thinks it is the first time she has been swimming in the sea on Easter Sunday since 1979 (this last detail is a special note for M, since Trigirl's ability to remember what she did when always amazes her).

Last night, Swimmingman and Trigirl had dinner alone in Stamatis, one of their favourite tavernas on this island. A strange meal: pork in lemon sauce, chips, Greek salad, fried aubergine, all washed down with retsina. As long-standing customers, there was also a delicious pud on the house: sliced apple with yogurt and honey. MV, R and N offered to babysit. This is a rare and noteable treat for Trigirl and Swimmingman.
