Getting my hands on chalk has been on my mind for the past fortnight. Today I tracked it down: white and multicoloured.

While the child was at school (no doubt drawing with chalk) I made my way to  Γλυφάδα enjoyed my own company shopping for books and spotted the holy grail of children’s ‘wants’: chalk.

So my after school quandary is solved (since its been raining so beach is out): play ground to draw. The soccer ball of course always comes with us and just as well: its the ultimate icebreaker. In fact this arvo Kingsley made instant friends with 7 year old Dimitri who was up for a kick, and his 3 year old sister Βασιλική who nodded gratefully when the chalk was produced.

A cheap and very cheerful way to fill in the hours between school drop off and dinnertime…
