Ithaki coast guard in action again yesterday, transferring a 67 y-o local in need of urgent medical attention from PisoAetos to Sami. Unfortunately the patient died in transit aboard the Odysseas patrol boat.

Small fire yesterday afternoon in the Piccolo Gyro area of Lassi. Last I heard, the fire near Petani was almost under control.

Footage revealing painful injuries on pigs raises questions over Red Tractor farm scheme
Exclusive: 'Suffering caused by infected wounds is equal to - if not greater than - the abuse' at farm that supplies retailers including Tesco

Questions have been raised about how much shoppers can have faith in the Red Tractor assurance scheme after animals at a farm it inspected regularly were found suffering from painful infected injuries.

Dozens of pigs at the intensive farm in Lincolnshire - which supplies major retailers including Tesco - were seen with untreated bloodied wounds, which critics said suggested “long-term mismanagement on the farm”, where last month workers were shown gratuitously attacking the animals, in one case with a pitchfork.
