Forty coronavirus cases confirmed on Kefalonia yesterday by EODY, one on Ithaka

Today’s bank rates:
1 €UR = £ 0.8644 GBP
1 €UR = $ 1.1338 USD
£1 GBP = 1.1569 €UR
$1 USD = 0.8820 €UR

Based on Alpha Bank exchange rates, these are widely used by exchange agencies in Greece.
Other banks likely to offer a different rate which may be marginally higher or lower.
Banks and foreign exchange offices normally charge standard 2% commission.
You may get a better rate changing your holiday money in advance at e.g the
Post Office.
NB: some f-ex agencies advertise "No Commission".
Invariably, they deduct commission before they (don't) advertise the rate.
Foreign exchange offices are businesses, not charities.


Ten day weather forecast for Kefalonia:
This is an overall forecast, due to the mountainous terrain the weather can be very localised.

Britain’s first official witch claims expenses on spells and potions

Meet Britain’s first official witch, who has been given unique permission to declare the job on her tax forms.

Cassandra Latham-Jones, 71, is the first person allowed to use the term ‘village witch’ when filing her returns with Inland Revenue.

The self-employed sorceress can even write off ingredients for her magical potions as tax deductible.

Cassandra has been a witch and official wise-woman for the village of St Buryan in Cornwall for over 30 years.

She offers traditional witching services such as tarot card reading, rituals, sea magic, dark arts, spells – and wart charming.

She says she is ‘no different from anyone else in the service industry – but my expenses are slightly unusual’.

Funds released for spay, neutering drive by municipalities

Municipal authorities will be getting a boost of 5 million euros to help them contain their stray cat and dog populations.

Named Argos, the spay and neuter program is part of a law on pet protection passed by Parliament in late 2021.

It foresees a total funding package of 40 million euros, the bulk of which is aimed at building, improving and maintaining municipal dog and cat shelters.
