The only reason I woke was that Stitch must have nudged his crate and the metal door rattled, poor thing I thought to myself he must be bursting, but no he ran around the garden checked out his Kingdom for cats came back in the house and pestered me for breakfast, that's some bladder control for such a little hound. Once he was fed and watered he went off and watered the garden, which would be fine if he wasn't turning the grass yellow! I had missed a call from the Dark Lord so thought it best to call him back, my phone seems to be pleasing itself just now which means sometimes I can call out and sometimes I can't and sometimes it appears that when people call me my phone is off! most peculiar, so anyway I call the Dark Lord and received a nice invitation for a night out with his family I just had to prepare nibbles and what ever I fancied to drink as it was to be a Party in the Park.
I lay in the garden for a while, tried to take Stitch for a walk around the block, he got ten feet from the house and refused to budge I can't say I blame him it was roasting, and the heat from the road must have been scorching his very low slung underbelly as well as his paws. I finished laying in the sun and sorted out my nibbles for the evening all very healthy too, carrot stick, cucumber and peppers with a bag of pistachio and almonds, nice and simple, I made a water bottle into iced coffee and I was set, I just need to shower, although why I bothered I am really not sure.
I arrived at the Dark Lords at a little before 4pm they were still getting ready which allowed me time to head to the supermarket where I picked up a naughty little treat in case the nibbles didn't do it for me, I headed back and we all bundled in the jeep and heading for Episkopi, we arrived and were guided to a parking spot and then it was all hands on deck, well except Jamie who is to cool to carry, and we set up our picnic area just left of the stage, as I said why I bothered to shower is beyond me, I was dripping from head to toe, the sun was to our right and I'm sure I must look like a Harlequin as I forgot to rotate, but at least my face wasn't the colour of beetroot (unlike the Dark Lord) the first group to sing were announced and and the boys with the big hats marched them in, then it was over to the kids, and then another and another band, some were made up of personnel from the surrounding bases, and other were flown in from the Uk, the music was great and the atmosphere was all very posh sitting on the grass with your picnics, umbrellas popping up to shade the babies or the adults depending on who needed it, there were a few rowdies but that will always happen when there is sun, alcohol and music. The children danced the adults followed and the sun went down way too slowly for a couple of very red skinned individuals, my favourite groups were
1. I don't remember their name as I was in the ladies when they were introduced, but they were fantastic. Just googled and their names are Senis and Owen
2. Blues Brothers oh I do love the Blues Brothers and these two boys call the Blues Brothers Paphos were great, every song had me singing into my iced coffee - well it would be rude to drown out such good singing.
3. Take That 2 now they were flown in from the UK and it was so funny listening to the Gary Barlow character accent and all, I always thought Gary Barlow talked way to slow and listening to an impersonator doing it just exaggerated the torture, but they were a fantastic group of lads, and put on a magnificent show, how funny young Charlie asked why they were dancing 'like that', us oldies had to inform her that the original Take That danced that way, she was SHOCKED hahaha, love kids, hate getting old......
