I don’t know about you, my dear friends, but for me, time is running like a rabbit trying to get its latest carrot! The latest week was the worst: first, I visited a lawyer, maybe to get more pension from the state because mine is below the existential limit, but no chance because my adorable wife still is working, and it must be enough for both of us! And next to it, my beloved page, which I made to send my WP articles to Facebook, doesn’t belong to me any more! I have no idea why it is so, but you, who are on FB, know it happens daily! Anyway, I try to keep silent and calm! What else can I do?
Of course, I’ll gladly accept if somebody has an idea for Facebook’s issue!

So! Now, let’s travel to the Ilias territories, Samos. This trip was different from the previous ones. First, as Regina told me, we had an occasion to spend our vacation in Samos; I was happy because I am always happy to be in Greece, as it might be my actual land. But there were some rumours about foreigners on the island. With the foreigner, I mean the big European problem with the refugees from all around the world towards Europe.
As I wrote in the first part, I was a bit worried about the conflict between rich and poor, though I prepared myself for every kind of conflict. I said once that I fully understand their situation, but I am a man of comprehensiveness and take the issues as they are. Anyway, we arrived at the equipment, and the first encounter was at the beach, where some families of these refugees were present. I only needed some eye contact to show them what was happening there. It was for me not the best, but it must be so, for they were, as I assumed, not enough cultured to understand the matter.

As I mentioned, I was also a refugee. But I knew where I was, what I was, why I was somewhere else, and how to handle it. That is the point, the main point of our existence! And I am happy to have known this.
Whatever, it repeated itself several times. Once, a few boys even stole our care items from a bag. They said they were thirsty, but there was only sunscreen inside! You might imagine it was unpleasant for me, but I had to react to these idiotic acts. So! Enough talking; let’s enjoy the pictures.
The Heraion of Samos:

The territories of the Heraion of Samos were a large sanctuary to the goddess Hera on the island of Samos, Greece, 6 km southwest of the ancient city of Samos (modern Pythagoreion).











And a blue street you might love as blue as it is!











And some moreβ¦ Have a lovely time, thanks.βππΉπ₯π



Oops! I think there could be some more in the future! Cheers.ππ€

I’m sorry to hear that you’ve had to employ a lawyer re your pension, Aladin. I can only hope they don’t raise the retirement age again here in the UK when I need to apply for mine. It’s getting ridiculous worldwide, soon we’ll all be retiring at eighty!
I’m typing and listening to Dean sing his heart out, I love it! Your holiday photos are simply wonderful Aladin, I love ancient ruins and blue street, plus that’s a great portrait of you too! I’m sorry to hear about the frustrating behaviour of some people.
As we live on the coast many boats cross with sadly, people dying en route because it’s not safe in those over-crowded boats. It’s distressing! Our government thinks sending them to Rwanda is the answer. Ridiculous!
Whatever you’re doing, I hope you’re having a relaxing weekend. Thanks for all your love and friendship! Love and light, Deborah

Oh, yes! In Germany, they are trying to bring it up to seventy. We must immigrate to France, where about sixty-two or sixty-four is discussed!!
You are talking about a severe problem. On one side, these people are suffering from hunger and poverty, and on the other side, it is impossible to let all these giant nations move to Europe. The essential act must stop abusing these folks through their corrupted governments and allow people to benefit from their own natural resources. “Through the power of the lobbies, there may be no possibility.”π
Thank you, Deborah, dearest. After two days (Sunday was busy with the kids, and Monday was discussing with the different Iranian groups), I now have the day free to check my posts. Love and blessing, my angel.π€π

I hope you get your pension sorted out Aladin, I get my pension next year, 6 years after I should have retired thanks to the government raising the pension age for women. I think the powers that be want to work us all into the ground! Your holiday photos look lovely, beautiful warm weather – I love the blue and white painted paving and walls, I am sorry you had things taken, but I’m sure you didn’t let it ruin the holiday experience for you. Enjoy the rest of your weekend!

Oh, my dear. I’m sorry to hear you had to overwork, although it will come soon, and you can enjoy your resting time. I will try to organize my pension. However, the sum is as much as pocket money! Anyhow, with not much eating and Other savings, I must survive. And, of course, I would never let something or someone spoil my mood. Heartfelt thanks, dear Lin, for cheering me up.π€πππΊ

Great shots, Alaedin!
Greece looks fabulous.
Yes, the refugee thing. Canada is all immigrants and refugees, outside of the aboriginal people whose land was stolen by our fore fathers.
It’s only recently we have ILLEGAL refugees.
It has become a problematic issue here, resulting in a 10% property tax increase in the city, before any provincial or federal tax increases.
People have a hard enough time since Covid, and the feeling of welcoming those who are illegal is very low.
Anyway, I remain fortunate, as do you.
Hey..what’s with FBook? They stole your account? I never had an account. Due to all the stories I hear, I never will.

This issue is a common problem. If the people are fine, the guests will be welcomed, but if not, there will always be difficulties. My dream is that nobody would be illegal anywhere!
FB has a big problem, and I think it is because it is getting bigger and bigger! I have no problem with my account, but with the page I made to send my WP articles there. You know, there are always concurrent between the sites, and FB will always be the first and only one! Therefore, I couldn’t send my articles to FB directly but to my own page, which I made many years ago, and it had worked without any problem until suddenly, I lost access to my page for no apparent reason. Anyway, thank you, my dear lady. I would try to make a number three of this report to share pics of my adorable wife, which surely will be much more beautiful ππ

Beautiful π I visited Samos many years ago. It felt so nice and quiet after staying in busy Rhodes Town. Happy it looks sort of the same. And for me, Greece is more than a country, it’s a state of mind.
