The weather’s been really great here the past few days. I wish it would stay like this (15 degrees) all summer. I heard this morning, however, that we’re in for another long, hot summer. Ugh. Global warming = more extreme weather conditions = no spring or fall = very unhappy Christina. I love spring and…

Figured it was a while since I last wrote. I have been busy decorating the shower room. Still have to finish it off, but it is looking good. Different shades of blue in an attempt to make it look Mexican. It has been beautiful here the last few days with a frost at night but…

I have six projects on the go right now! Two for each of my classes. It’s ridiculous 😛 The only reason I have time to write this is cos I’m at work and have nothing else to do. I signed up for a summer course this morning – Information Design 1. I hope it’s good!…

Sorry about the rant about the BBC. I guess they aren’t so bad. I am painting now and consequently covered in white oil paint!!! I bought the colours for the walls and tiles this a.m. They are blue, 3 shades and I am hoping it will look Mexican. I am going to do a paint…

Having had my family all telling everyone how busy I am, I thought I had better catch up a little myself. My new job entails managing all of the UK projects for the signalling division of Bombardier Transportation. In addition to the UK projects I also kept Taiwan (though I did appoint someone to replace…

It has been beautiful weather here these last few days. Although not hot, we have sunshine and wind – just what we need for spring cleaning inside and out. I have been working in the garden pruning the roses and digging some of the flower beds to get ready for new plants later in the…

This is the busiest/craziest reading week/March break I’ve ever had. They’re not supposed to give us so much homework when we have a week off!!?? 🙁

I couldn’t get into the blogger to update this last night. Dave and I found some lovely restaurants and on Friday, Valentine’s, we went to a place in the Plaka which had live music and was full of Greeks. The only thing was they kept playing Zorba the Greek every other number, it was quite…

Athens was brilliant. We flew out of Heathrow, which was o.k. even though it was bristling with army personal and light tanks, not to mention armed police (very unusual in Britain). We flew with B.A. and were upgraded to business class which was a great start to the break. In Athens we stayed in a…
