Dear Readers,

HAPPY NEW YEAR 2008!

For the last 3 months this blog has been sitting idle. There were no updates, no articles, no news. Much to my regret, and due to serious health reasons, this blog has not been updated. I am sorry for not being able to communicate with you during my absence.

Now that I have fully recovered, I am looking forward to keep writing this blog. I am confident of your kind understanding and thank you very much.

PS > Some festivities coming up soon are the Valentine’s Day, Carnival and Mardi Gras just to remind but a few. So keep up reading us! Thank you.

We are pleased to announce that as from today, we are providing you with a NEW feature > to translate our English language articles or whole pages, within seconds, using the FREE service of Automatic Translation provided by Google.

Just go to our LINKS category and use it (right click to open link in a new window or in a new tab).

If any questions, please read Google’s FAQ > http://www.google.com/intl/en/help/faq_translation.html

We trust that you will find it very easy as well as usefull for you to use!

Today is September 23, which is about 13 weeks or 93 days until Christmas.

If you plan ahead, start compiling your shopping, gifts and cards lists, your travel schedule and all those little and sometimes time-consuming details, you will never, never get panic stricken. You will enjoy much more free time with your family and friends and you can also devote more ease time to yourself.

Think about it!

Dear Readers,

Apart from my August summer vacations, summer here in Greece, was not a happy one. You may have heard the news, that Greece, my country, was devastated by wildfires in late August, which claimed the lives of more than 65 people, destroyed thousands of forest land, about five millions of olive trees burnt, thousands of people left homeless and villages completely destroyed.

With thanks to the many countries appealing to our request for help, life is coming back to normal. Life will be re-built again. The only thing that matters, is the 65 plus people who, unfortunately, will no longer be among us. We will miss them and we will cherish them.

I just wanted you to know, that myself and my family, we were not hurt in any way by this National tragedy. At the same time, I would like to personally thank all those who emailed or contacted me expressing their sympathy.

This blog will continue its task. Maybe, a few changes will be eventually made, but that’s not an immediate priority. I will keep you posted of any further developments.

Thank you all for your kind support. You know, it’s highly appreciated.
