I'm still here, just been trying to work out all of the bugs in my website. You know, it's surpising just how much their is to setting up and running even a website.

In the meantime, here's a small language tip- the middle of summer is called "cucumber season" in most of Northern Europe. That's because it's the time of year when everyone goes on vacation and nothing much happens except stuff growing in the garden. (Think of it as a slow news day that lasts from about mid-June to mid-August.) The phrase is literally translated and used in languages like German, Czech, Hungarian, Flemish, Polish and others. So when you hear it, well, you know it's the lazy part of summer.
