Now that my daughters are grown up (they're studying medicine and are with me every other week), and I've finally finished all the little things that needed to be done to make our new apartment fit, I'm keen and have time to meet new people, to expand my circle of friends, which is mainly made up of old friends from school and from when I was doing my PhD.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
