Back here....

Ok, I haven't been writing for over a month now... But those who know me can understand why. I moved !
I finally left downtown Las Terrenas, its dusty & noisy streets, for a paradise-like atmosphere in Playa Bonita...
Fantastic change, I am very happy with it ! (my family too...)
But I was busy setlling down, getting things to work in my new place, like having my ADSL internet transfered, for instance, and installing my workshop in a smaller space...
It's done now. Well, almost...
I shall be here more often, sharing thoughts, asking myself questions, or simply ranting, if it is not too wildly incorrect...
