A Long Awaited Post

Apologies to my blog readers that I have not been updating this blog. Since joining Facebook, that is now the main site I use for keeping in touch & also for posting photos etc. If any of my former blog readers use Facebook & would like to add me as a friend then please feel free to do so. It would be useful for you to include a personal message on any friend request, mentioning that you were a blog reader if I may not recognise your name as I tend to ignore requests from anyone I don't recognise.
Just to quickly update you - I worked for the Summer season at a pool bar & met many lovely people & made new friends. I move into our new house in June 2009, with my partner, Anesti. We celebrated being together for 2 years on Dec 7th 2009.
Life is still good here & I have just had a couple of interviews for job for the 2010 season. I was offered my 2009 job back again for this year but for personal reasons did not want to accept it. I applied for hotel reception jobs this year & as I have found in previous years they are very hard to obtain without a good knowledge of the Greek language. I am learning Greek, it is difficult but I am making progress with basic Greek. At the interviews the subject of my Greek language ability (or lack of it) was discussed & I worked hard to persuade them that I would be able to set up systems that would work for me in order to communicate. Just this morning (24th Feb 2010) I have received calls from both the hotels that interviewed me, both offering me the job so I feel very pleased with myself. I have accepted the job as one of the daytime receptionists at the Katerina Palace which is in Argassi. I will be starting on the 15th May through until the end of September (may run into October depending on how busy the hotel is)
So this could be the last post for a long time on this blog so I am going to say now - THANK YOU TO ALL THE LOVELY PEOPLE WHO HAVE FOLLOWED THIS BLOG & FOR THE SUPPORTIVE COMMENTS I HAVE RECEIVED FROM SOME READERS - YOU MADE THE EFFORT WORTHWHILE. I also hope that I have shown a few of you that if you have a dream, reach out & grab it & make it happen. No-one is more surprised than I am that I am where I am now - I could have found 101 reasons not to go for it but fortunately I did go for it & have no regrets.
Take care all xxxx
