How truly awful Davey. Hope you stay safe where you are. X
I am glad that your power is back on but a very worrying time for you. I hope that conditions won't worsen for you.

We're hoping it doesn't flare up again fire crews are still buzzing around just in case . π€π€

Just trying to find a cool spot today the whole house smells of smoke π
Oh, how awful and sad. The thyme and the dryness of the hills makes it so easy to start, so hard to stop.

The olive trees are the worst they burn hotter and longer and difficult to control
Ergendlβ’ in reply to
I forgot about all those olive groves. Devastating for the farmers to lose those.
β’ in reply toErgendl
Surprisingly they grow back quickly and more strong . But they burn hotter than anything and for longer and their everywhere here I'm looking at about a dozen right now ππ
It must be so difficult to stay that alert for so much of the time. I hope that you get some relaxation as the day goes on. Grace
β’ in reply toWalkwalkwalk
When you know that the possibility of the fire reaching you staying alert is definitely not a problem ππ the tiredness now well that's different I could sleep the clock round if it wasn't so hot and I wouldn't complain if it was just 32 degrees πππ
Stay safe. DH is moaning here (in Malta) how hot it is. Currently 32C with a forecast high of 38C. Hot but not like Greece. Sitting down with a cold drink in the air conditioning watching Olympics
Sounds exactly like Hell! You poor thing 
I do hope they manage to put the fires out once and for all. Take care xx
β’ in reply toleo60
Helicopters are still flying around dropping water so their definitely making sure it's out ππ

That's great Davey, Perhaps you could get them to do a drop on you? That would cool you down! ππ Seriously though, I hope you manage to get respite from the heat and manage some rest, take care xx
β’ in reply toleo60
I was waving them to drop some on me but guess their busy , just changed my stepfather settled him down with his lunch and a war film so going to have half an hour chill out if possible π€£π€£
Stay safe and well. A friend with young children, during fires in Australia, hung wet towels in front of the air conditioning and windows to absorb any smoke that wafted in. xx
β’ in reply toLupino
No Aircon thankfully got the shutters down to try and cool down the rooms can't smell the smoke until you get outside so I double mask something I don't like doing breathing tight at best of times
I do hope the smoke+ash doesn't affect yr breathing.i hope u can sleep this afternoon.u must be exhausted.i do hope u have no more fires nearby.so worrying 4u.thoughts r with u x

Snatched half hour sleep kept coughing so broken sleep , still feeling tired chest obviously tight going round the house trying to find a cool spot .,,ππ
Let's hope tomorrow brings you some relief. Take care π§ wishing you some rain
β’ in reply toSuzie42
The rain would be lovely but I guess it wouldn't go down well with the tourists π€£π€£π€£ or as their now called by a lot of the locals the covid carriers . π€£π€£
Suzie42β’ in reply to
I hope i won't be called that if i manage to come out π
β’ in reply toSuzie42
No , the old people in the villages are the ones who call tourists that but yet again they were against the islands opening up for tourists or each other , it's nothing personal it scares the hell out of them , looking at it from there prospective before we opened up the largest amount of cases were eight in one week now we're open 104 cases in a day so you can see the logic ..π΅π΅π
Suzie42β’ in reply to
Yes I totally understand them. I would be the same π
How absolutely horrifying a situation to find yourself Davey. We were all sweltering in the uncomfortable heat last week in the UK but nothing like you are experiencing in Rhodes and Turkey. I can only join in with the others on here and hope things improve for you aΔΊl as soon as possible. My thoughts are with you. RR

I was just watching a program on Greek TV a news report and they had their top climatologist saying within possibly twenty years Greece could be like the African planes , temperature here is climbing quickly each year getting hotter than the last one ,, fires are getting more frequent and not enough is being done about it globally . The guy had a point . I also found out that the animal center was burnt out last night during the fire some animals were saved but majority were lost . A sad day πͺπͺπͺ

Oh dear, when will the powers that be accept its due to global warming and start finding ways to combat it? Its happening now!, Look at Brazil, Australia and the fires there. Flooding in india and other parts of the world. Its frightening!Please keep us posted to know how things are.

β’ in reply toRoadRunner44
It's ridiculous really because the people who have the power to change the situation are only concerned with money , look at it another way politicians globally have bunkers and we'll protected what's Jo bloggs from down the road got nothing , people like Elon musk Richard Branson all have money so they will be ok . But we can't do anything about it . No one listens to us π΅π€£ππ€£ππ€£
RoadRunner44β’ in reply to
Sadly, you are right Davey. It is a global dilemma and each country has to take responsibility for their actions and come together to find solutions. Is this the sort of legacy we leave for future generations? We are going through difficult times all over the world and the future is bleak. Please keep us posted and keep safe.RR.
β’ in reply toRoadRunner44
Will do , well a further 81 cases today not good news for a small island who before opening up to tourists the highest amount of cases were eight in a week not a day . Well I'm on my 12th litre of water today making sure I keep hydrated or just a mini lake π€£π€£π€£ Keep your chin up have a lovely day and always keep safe π

At least you still have a sense of humour Davey. Xx

That's something I will take to the grave and still won't change ,π€£π€£π€£
There might not be future generations. We are having multiple apocalypse already. And all man-made.
β’ in reply toMarionmarion
Well Nostradamus was right so far . Looking at the big picture floods several of earthquakes several of forest fires plenty of pandemic well plenty of water shortages plenty of the list goes on and most caused by man . πππ Totally agree
Rest up and stay safe x

Can't seem to settle over past couple of days , well for good reason I suppose but it's 12.15 here two hours Infront of UK so I'm sat on my bed listening to my MP3 player π€£π€£
Hope you get some sleep tonight. Everyone here is rooting for you and your dad plus the rest of the village. πππ

I dropped off for twenty minutes now awake yet against can't settle. ππ. Going to try again ππ΄π΄

Must be hellish for you with difficulty breathing and being so tired but unable to get a proper sleep. I hope you did get some sleep in the end .ππππ
