Not quite sure where the past week went but amidst work across town and several pit-stops to new places along the way, it felt rather quick. Sunday is for taking a step back and two forward - rewinding, unwinding and planning ahead. But we still haven't managed to finish that slow-burning autumn playlist of this month so you'll have to make do with what's on offer at?Mnáome's Spotify page.
Speaking of autumn, if you're getting this around the Mediterranean grid then you're probably not having one. An Instagram story of a friend last night stuck with me as he was traveling across Europe for experiencing autumn. Just as all sun-seeking travelers to Greece are visiting the motherland for summer. Makes you think, isn't it?
At a party the other day in Athens I was having a conversation about getting a bit more cosy into the season and bracing for Christmas (not in a?LA style). Chestnuts was the answer, a good play at the theatre or a movie night in and certainly a roadtrip someplace close (or far if you have the time).
The first one is easy as hell: cross them with a knife on the rounded edge, boil them in seasoned water for 30' and finally peel them. If you're looking for an extra kick then roast them at the grill for another 20'. On the entertainment front there's lots on offer and let me say Netflix is not always the best option. Get out there and explore the blooming Athenian theatre season.

And, finally, if you're looking to escape town in search of some colored leaves and mountain hikes then there's plenty of options. Mount Pelion is getting back on its feet and is as beautiful as ever. Zagorohoria?are?even more rural if you have more time to spare. And the Peloponnese is always an option. Dimitsana and Mount Mainalos terrain is a real treat this time of the year if you like mushroom and truffle hunting with your trek! More on that coming soon.
Happy Sunday!
