2010 is here - the missing blog posts

Inspiration (or motivation) – 

Does not come when you need it – and maybe there is no point forcing it to come. Over the last month I’ve been meaning to post interesting fragments / news / updates but failed – so here they are all in one go. 

2010 – a year of positive and meaningful change. Or – more bluntly – the year that follows 2009 in chronological order.

Xmas – Greece – unexpected sunshine warming you up in the morning having breakfast in the countryside. Yes it really did not feel like Winter. Enjoyable though.

New Year’s Eve – expected? kind of – maybe past memories get distorted with time and look more appealing than they actually were. Had a good time though, sad to see Café Santan (Καφέ Σαντάν) close down in its old location – an illegitimate party meant that I saw it open for the last time on new year’s dawn.

Totally unexpected – especially on my first day in Manchester. 

Another picture closer to home:

The Little Venice canal froze completely due to the subzero temperatures. Unbelievable.

Soundtrack of the season:

That's all for now – photos from the holidays soon...
