New pavement Yialos to Chorio

Postby Glen » 13 Jun 2007, 14:38

I've just seen the pictures of the new pavement that is being laid by the side of the Yialos to Chorio mainroad.
It certainly looks very smart, but i would question the wisdom of the decision "to grout the gaps between the paving stones with soil" for drainage.
Come next May some poor soul will be pushing a lawnmower up and down it. :?
Fine gravel would provide the drainage required and i suspect even that would be a trial to keep weed free.

Well Glen, a lawnmover is absolutly not necessary on Symi. In the spring there will be the most beautiful flowers :D and as soon as the sun starts burning :( everything will disappear of it self, so the decision is not that bad at all.And when the autumn rain comes :cry: it just start all over again

He's probably referring to the June edition of the Symi Visitor which is hitting doormats around the world right now. :D

Arrived yeterday, but I am banned from reading it until Vanessa has finnished with it, she is working on the Isle of Man for the next 2 weeks so I will have to wait. I like life too much to risk opening the packing and looking for the picture.

You could slit the bag open carefully with a razor and then reseal it with a hot wire... :twisted:

My thoughts exactly, Kojak. :?:
Vanessa must be a formidable woman, the SV is not exactly a confidential document. :evil:
Go on Jerry, rip the bloody thing open....and then tell her you read it and then threw it away. :o :?

Past experience warns me to be careful. I like harmony and I may not recover by the time we come to Symi.
