Perhaps the village folk of the small Greek Islands do not live life through a pc and have retained family values.

Nowadays everything is paid for by D/D and the meeting places of old are no more .
The village PO is gone as have small shops each having a group of people waiting to be served .
Self service in large supermarkets are soulless and not easy for a man alone to strike up a conversation .
That really just leaves the pharmacy .

What a beautiful thing to say Patsy, gave me a lump in my throat. It's reciprocated.
Some people, while I'm out running or walking make eye contact and I greet them with a 'Good Morning' most reply, but some just look away perhaps misunderstanding my intentions. But I have been verbally held captive Rodolfo on several occasions (I seem to attract the talkative) and having made my escape, regret later not been more social and understanding.

I know you are not very sociable Nom, so in a way, that makes it even nicer that you give these people a few moments of your time. You might be rather unsociable, but you do not lack kindness or compassion.

You are right. I guess I felt threaten cause he sort of invaded my space. Its a bad habit of mine, I like living on an island
