Καλημέρα παιδιά (kal e mER ah peth yAH). This literally means 'good morning children' but can be said to a group of friends instead of the usual 'Καλημέρα σας'.
One of the difficult things about learning Greek is that words/phrases can be used to mean so many different things in colloquial speech even when there are proper alternatives.
Still, it keeps me amused!!

Have a good day, whatever you're doing,

That's Αχιλλεύς (Achilles), he's a really nice bloke we've known for years. He was actually pulling me into the photograph which is why I'm leaning to one side - I'd been more interested in supping my Guinness.

Yeah, yeah yeah...

Good afternoon Tea people. What's in store today? My plan is to saunter down to the Asian supermarket to stock up on spices (much cheaper there - plus you can get one's that Tesco et al don't sell).

Been for my usual 2hr+ hike this afternoon while Mrs B went to the shops. I then watched the fashion show while I made us a cup of tea

Later it's dinner at a local taverna where they have Greek only karaoke after the meals have been served, where we'll stay for a couple of hours before heading to a bar where the Cypriots gather for mainly Greek karaoke, which will take us through to the early hours of Sunday. Might make it to bed by about 4am.

Another interesting fact about Greek is how they write the time. What is 'am' to us is 'pm' to them and what is 'pm' to us is 'mm' to them!! If anybody wants to know why just let me know and I'll explain.

Afternoon tea baggers long time no see

Off road and on

Oh Suns just come out n I've just lit the wood burner typical

Hope everyone is doing ok

Why ?

Why ?

I'll spell in my own phonetics for ease. The Greek word for 'noon' is mesimeri; the word for 'before' is 'preen'; and the word for 'after' is meta. So, their PM means before noon(preen toh mesimeri) and their MM means after noon (meta toh mesimeri).
Simples.

When you put it like that, I suppose it is. Stick to the 24 hour clock, confuse them!
