Nine new cases of coronavirus reported on Kefalonia yesterday by EODY.

Today's bank rate:
1 GBP = € 1.1405
1 USD = € 0.8601

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.

Woman in hysterics as she realises her adopted dog only understands Spanish

A dog owner was left in hysterics when she realised the reason her new pup had been ignoring her was that he could only understand Spanish.

Kalee McGee explained that when she adopted four-year-old Chihuahua Max from the shelter, he had no paperwork about his background.

But because he was well behaved when she took him for walks, and he sits down when she gives him a treat, she assumed he'd had some training.

However, Kalee couldn’t work out why Max wasn't listening to her.

Until one day when she finally figured it out - he only understood Spanish.

Ros Atkins on... The No 10 Christmas party

Ros Atkins investigates what we know about a Christmas party held at No 10 Downing Street last year at a time when Covid restrictions banned such events.

Boris Johnson, who was not at the party, said no Covid rules were broken, but No 10 has refused to explain how party-goers complied.

Video report in link


If you missed it you can watch the BBC report on The story of 10 Downing Street Christmas Party last December

As  the Daily Telegraph reports:

Quote
There was no Christmas party in No10... and anyway, the guests followed all the rules
Throughout a week of damaging allegations, ministers’ attempts to kill the story have been embarrassingly inept

A week after the story broke, the Government is still struggling to rebut claims that Downing Street broke lockdown rules by hosting parties last Christmas. In interviews, ministers’ denials have sounded less than convincing. One moment, they insist that the parties never took place; the next, they insist that everyone present observed Covid regulations. Essentially they seem to be saying: “No, of course there weren’t any parties. And anyway, the guests followed all the rules.”

No 10 Christmas party denials continue, follow up BBC report below:

It wasn't party games, it was an eye test  ;)

Downing Street staff shown joking in leaked video about Christmas party they later denied

Senior Downing Street staff joked about holding a Christmas party in Number 10 just four days after the event is alleged to have taken place last December, a recording leaked to ITV News has revealed.

Staff can be heard laughing and making references to “cheese and wine”, while Boris Johnson’s then spokesperson Allegra Stratton remarked there was “definitely no social distancing.”

Cummings would be the exception, I think most of the Conservative party have socially distanced themselves from him.
