From Print To Electronic

Getting Warmer~ish
The last couple of days have been reasonably mild here in Astana - and with the lack of fresh snowfall today, some of the ice and snowdrifts are starting to melt. It does not look so pretty, as you can see all the dust and car pollution in the grey snow, however, the lack of [...]
Dive In?

Northern Rock

Quick Sale?
With all the news about the US markets likely to see a marked increase in repossessed houses (problems with too many sub-prime mortgages being granted to border line cases, amongst other issues), the UK is now in a position where it may face the same issue.
