Hotel Niki Dinner

Hotel Niki is supposedly the best restaurant in Vlore. I think Joni is better, but I am not a seafood lover. We at there and talked with the owner, who had gotten US citizenship during his decade in Boston. Both his children were US citizens. He had come home to set up the hotel, and it had been a good business until COVID. So he was thinking of going back to Boston, both for economics and the education of his daughters.

 

Polstitches Winter Package

This package, five patterns and a piece of fabric, was 55 pounds from Polstitches. I am disappointed. I am just throwing away the design from Polstitches itself. It's primitive and looks like a child's drawing. I feel like the amount of items in the package was far less than the amount paid justified.

 

One Crocus

One crocus stitched, and its leaves coming along. I feel accomplished.
 

Filling It In

Filling this in now. It's the easy part! This will be done soon.
 

Greek Food In Albania

There was a Greek place on the main drag and, because Andreas and Kerrie, we had to try it. There isn't much good Greek food in Pristina. So we went. And it was good. With the exception of the bread, tomato, cheese, and olive thing. It was very dry.

 

Tenth Done

The tenth square is done. Just need to finish outlining it and wander on to number eleven.

 

Third Corner Closing On

The third corner's last tree is almost done. I feel like these corners are going so slowly, but it may be because the spinner isn't being kind.
