Here's to the weekend :yiamas:
-
Can you arrange for another one beginning of September please? :papa:
-
Will be interesting - no temperatures anywhere near that forecast for Kef - but I guess it can change.....
-
Indeed the heatwave never came to Kef (35 isn't an August heatwave).
This has to one of the coolest Kef summers ever (not complaining). By coolest I mean the temperatures (currently barely making 30) rather than the number of people wearing 8 euro Ray Bans.
-
My Raybans were 7 euros :bleh:
-
A relatively mild summer this year resulted in 25 percent fewer wildfires than in 2013, according to new fire service figures seen by Kathimerini.

Wonder whether September will bring a late summer or an early winter :hmm:
-
looking at the long range forecast for Spet winters coming sooner then you think..

The forecast I saw a few days ago was wall to wall thunderstorm for the end of next month.
-
thank you, looks like we'll have the normal couple of storms which is ok, but I suppose still time to change
-
That works for us too.
Out from 7th to 21st of Sept.
-
See you at the airport! I'll be the one grinning like a loon :bun2:
-
That'll do us nicely too!!! :nai:
At this rate we'll all be on Kef!
