Hi Marianthi,
Further news...hmmm. Let's see. I'm very busy these days, and can hardly remember what it's like to not be. Still working on the house...a very long-term project - as I know you can relate to...
Finally got the drywall done, and almost done painting interior. Flooring goes in next week if I can find the time.
My time is greatly taken up by my web-work, where I'm expanding my portfolio and client-base as I move further into my chosen area of specialization, which is Drupal development. Which is to say, developing web-application-sites using the Drupal content platform.
In other news, I'm quite happy comparatively speaking...I love my work, and am making decent money. We still like living here, and I consider myself very lucky all things considered. But I do tend to isolate more than I'd like. Hard to find local friends of the sort that I miss so much from other parts of the world...such as yourselves.
My partner sends hugs and greetings to you both...
Now it's your turn...

EDIT: I decided that 2 of the former paragraphs were a bit more frank than I like, so I removed them...
