The Hellenic Parliament (Greek: ????? ??? ???????; transliterated Vouli (also Boule) ton Ellinon) is the Parliament of Greece, located in the Parliament House (Old Royal Palace), overlooking Syntagma Square in Athens, Greece.
It is a unicameral legislature of 300 members, elected for a four-year term. During 1844-1863 and 1927-1935 the parliament was bicameral with an upper house, the Senate and a lower house, which retained the name Vouli. Several important Greek statesmen served as Speakers of the Hellenic Parliament. The List of Speakers of the Hellenic Parliament comprises all the Speakers from 1946 till today.

Athena got hooked on meat pies in Australia, so I am trying to learn to make them. I found a recipe for a curry chicken pie and decided to start with this. (Those are individual portioned dishes.)

After the storm, the sunlight pours through the window...still, Athena shows signs of anxiety. This summer, she developed a fear of thunder/lightning/rain (it is an especially tough reaction given our daily afternoon summer thunderstorms) and is pretty inconsolable. With incessant panting and pacing, she sometimes finds refuge in the bathtub, but she doesn't appear to relax until the storm is well off the radar.
Animals, like young children, are fairly easily 'read' - they've not yet learned to mask their true emotions...they've not found a reason to do so. Revealing one's emotions can be a risky venture - there's the potential for not meeting 'politically correct' standards, the loss of privacy with disclosure of true feelings, and the inference of the loss of control. Of course, there are always 'trade-offs' - but the animals and young children typically have not learned the value of manipulating the expression of feelings...and maybe that's a good thing!

With the recent re-release of the movie Clash of the Titans, I was really pleased to find this sculpture at the recen open day of Hall Farm Nursery gardens as it reminded me of the original movie from 1981.
Zeus commanded Athena to give Perseus her beloved pet owl Bubo, but rather than be heartbroken she orders Hephaestus to build him a mechanical replica instead, and this just reminded me of it.
