Hi Paul, thanks for asking; things here are not exactly as the turmoil-loving media always loves to exaggerate. Some extremist turds have found an opportunity as always to create very localized havoc, because all they're facing is the most benign police force in the world. However, things are bad enough - not so much financially, although that is a big problem - as much as there is no access to outsiders to the Athenian hermetic "artistic" circles, which have become even more airtight since the financial crisis. To the understandable "dread" of UK forum members, I'm telling you I'm thinking of moving to England!
I'm still going to take a couple more days off I think before I return to that other post in the Instruments area, for some more collegial commentary...
