Fifty Shades of Blue

Hi there.

As you may or may not have noticed, there hasn't been much going on around here lately. There has been a two-week school vacation, my favorite explanation (excuse?) for those who know me well. But mostly we're in the middle of a big transition which has consumed all of my mental energy. It turns out my mind is not a great multi-tasker - but that is something I actually knew already.

So, no major post for the time being, which might be a relief for everyone, including me.

But since I don't want to leave this space empty for too long, and mainly because I'm afraid I will lose my sanity if I do, here is just a little postcard of simpler times. Two weeks ago in Greece, when I found some respite and hopefully some strength for the days and weeks to come. I know that when all is said and done, there will be peace and probably tremendous relief.

In the meantime I have to stay strong while in the eye of the storm. And then I can tell you all about the Santorini salad. It will be worth it - the salad itself I mean, if it turns out the way it did in all three of the places where I sampled it.

Until then, stay strong and hopeful everyone!
