Back in Kiev

Well, we spent a couple of weeks in Northern Ireland and England before coming back home on St. Patricks Day - maybe we got the scheduling off - everyone seemed surprised that we would not be in the UK for St Patty's day - but given the riots that took place - not that sad to have missed it really.

We had a great trip - the weather was very spring like - in N.I. It fluctuated between sun one moment and snow or showers the next. Nottingham was covered in Daffodils - so it was a bit of a let down to come back to grey, freezing rain here in Kiev - but spring is just around the corner.

We're now busy getting back into the routine - piles of laundry - group on Friday, office and other misc activities.

On the way home from the airport we talked to the taxi driver about politics - he is thoroughly disgusted with the whole affair - thinks all the politicians should be tarred and feathered and has decided to turn off the news whenever it comes on. What point is there in listening to the news, after all, when there is nothing "new"?
