The Parthenon Paradox: Rivers of Redemption (The Parthenon series Book 3) Amazon.com: The Parthenon Paradox: Rivers of Redemption (The Parthenon series Book 3) eBook : Barber, Peter: Kindle Store

Good morning and Happy Sunday from the land of sun, saints, and suspicious plumbing.πŸ‘€πŸ‡¬πŸ‡·
For the next few days, The Parthenon Paradox is available for the knock-down, slightly ridiculous price of Β£0.99 / $0.99 β€” which is less than the cost of a frappΓ© and far more nutritious.

Greek Cats. You don’t own them. They own you.
Greek cats are a different breed altogether. Not biologically, perhaps. But philosophically, they’re on another level. Most pets belong to someone. Not in Greece. Here, cats belong to Greece. And Greece belongs to them.

Well, that was a surprise...😁
I woke up this morning expecting the usual β€” a coffee, a gentle scroll through the news. Instead, I found myself at #1 in Greek Travel on Amazon. Lovely, I thought. Then I looked again β€” all three Parthenons had elbowed their way into the Top Ten for Humorous Essays.

It’s hard to believe, but we’re approaching the five-year anniversary of the Great Lockdownβ€”March 23rd, 2020. The day the UK slammed shut its front door and told us all to stay put.

What a brilliant collection of stories by @lisettebrodey.bsky.social this is. Quite unique, I think. Each one is set in the atmospheric, shabby chic floors of the amazing Hotel Obscure. I loved every one!
