http://xerika.blogspot.com/2007/11/why-i-dread-olive-harvest.html
The Reluctant Olive Farmer. Stories by an English expat about my often bizarre experiences of living in Greece and how I became a reluctant olive farmer. Sunday, 18 November 2007. Why I Dread the Olive Harvest. It is now four weeks, three days, sixteen hours and twenty-eight minutes until we begin this year's olive harvest. Not that I am wishing my life away counting down the time in eager anticipation until I can get out there with my olive-whacking stick. Oh no. Totally the opposite in fact. Penny had ...

The Reluctant Olive Farmer. Stories by an English expat about my often bizarre experiences of living in Greece and how I became a reluctant olive farmer. Tuesday, 12 February 2008. Unlike the Eskimos, the Greeks don't have many words for snow. In fact, they have one - χιoνι. Translated literally, it means: "Where the hell did all this white stuff come from? So, my partner Penny and I left England in the snow and arrived in Greece in the χιoνι. Some good things we've noticed about Greece so far:. At least...

Buster's Dog Blog: February 2008
http://dog-writes.blogspot.com/2008_02_01_archive.html
Monday, 25 February 2008. The Great Slipper Robbery. Jeez, did she go mad or what? I mean one lousy slipper. Anydog would think she'd had her leg amputated in her sleep. Listen up. If humes leave any kind of footwear (including socks), underwear, or anything else that isn't nailed down just lying around in full reachable distance, it's up for doggy grabs, yeah? Now am I right or am I right? Mind you, you had to laugh. 8220;Gelert,” said the female hume. “Leave.”. Goo game, yeah? Goo game.”. The hume's go...

Buster's Dog Blog: Ziggy the Nutter?
http://dog-writes.blogspot.com/2008/03/ziggy-nutter.html
Wednesday, 26 March 2008. Buster here again, folks. It looks like Ziggy forgot the bit about me describing him as a nutter at the beginning of his story, so I’ll fill you in on that myself. He barked at his bum a few times and by now he was standing up. Then he suddenly started whirling round and round looking exactly like he was trying to bite his own arse. He was really going for it and looked like he could do himself serious damage if he actually managed to connect. Blog is very nice. 22 February 2009...

OK, so now we’ve got that over with I’m going to tell you my story. Not just my story but the story of all the other five dogs, two chasers [Ed: “Chasers’ is one of many terms used by dogs to describe cats.

Buster's Dog Blog: Ziggy’s Story (Part Two)
http://dog-writes.blogspot.com/2008/03/ziggys-story-part-two.html
Wednesday, 12 March 2008. Ziggy’s Story (Part Two). Ziggy here again, readers. Sorry about the interruption. So where was I? Oh yes. I heard the sound of footsteps coming towards the shed. The shape of a hume appeared in the doorway and I froze, not daring to think what they’d do to me. I shut my eyes, bracing myself for whatever was about to happen. Still, the best laid plans of mice and dogs often go awry, as they say, and of course I seriously overslept, only waking when I heard the hume-house door op...
