I love visiting Thessaloniki – i stay in this cute flat alone, it is near the centre, there is a nice bed and stereo and friends to go out with.
The flat is not cute enough to hold me in there for a whole day. But i got the flue, and had to spent the entire day alone in there, hanging out with a thermometer and a pile of handkerchiefs. Luckily a friend sent me a fresh song, just out of the studio, and i developed an addiction to it.
Music is therapeutic.
Another friend came by the next day (that was the 1st of May, therefore the whole city was empty and full of parking spaces, which are a hot commodity here) to take me out, cause it was a gorgeous day indeed. We had coffee in the sun, ate at some funny and busy new place and on top of this went to a movie. We barged into the cinema like barbarians, holding 2 huge banana & chocolate popsicles – my excuse for it being that i needed my comfort food. We watched this wonderful Korean blockbuster with the lake monster that destroys everything, ( THE HOST) and then i remembered i was ill, and joined my thermometer at home.
