One new coronavirus case confirmed on Kef yesterday by EODY.

Kef fire risk 17/10/21: Low

Today's bank rate:
1 GBP = € 1.1473
1 USD = € 0.8368

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.

Gandhi in heels? Maria Callas statue hits the wrong note
Critics compare figure of famous soprano erected in Greek capital to an Oscar statuette

The 1.8 metre-high work, created in honour of the soprano by fans who regard Callas as one of the country’s most overlooked assets, has been criticised for being kitsch, unbecoming and, even worse, bearing no resemblance to “La Divina”.

A mum-of-four from West Bromwich has ‘given up’ 8 cats after facing £1.5k fine from housing provider

A mum from West Bromwich who faced a £1,500 fine for owning 'too many' cats has 'given up' eight of them following a row with her housing provider.

Lindsay Simcox, 43, has given two of her cats to her parents, four to friends, and stopped feeding two strays at her home.

Her decision comes after a row with her housing provider Midland Heart, which told her she must rehome or get rid of her 11 cats after she breached a cap on pet numbers.
