Dear all, very best wishes for 2008!
I finally made it back onto the blog thanks to Andy's e-mail -thanks Andy. I enjoyed catching up with the entries and seeing the Rome photos which I also have somewhere. What a long time ago it all seems. I was sorry to hear about your mum's acident Lois, I hope she is much better by now. My dad continues to do reasonably well all things considered.
We have presidential elections coming up in February so I am campaigning hard for our candidate. At the moment the three main candidates, the present President, the Communist Party leader and our candidate, Kasoulides, are pretty much neck to neck with Kasoulides slightly behind in the polls. If our candidate does not make it to the second round we will face a terrible dilemma which of the two other candidates to support, so we need to make sure we get through to the second Sunday; if we manage that we have a good chance of getting him elected.
In view of the electioniering I have not progressed much with the translation of my dad's book although I have a publisher who is interested. So as soon as the election is over I will focus on the translation.
My husband Costas, whom some of you know, is busy trying to revitalise the Cyprus Peace Centre an NGO which he was instrumental in setting up in the '90s and which provided the impetus for a lot of the bi-communal work at the time. It's proving more difficult than he anticipated, since political activism, outside of political party structures, is pretty weak at the moment in Cyprus.
Well, that's it for now, once again best wishes to all, hope to meet up soon,
Katie
