Catching Up With The Jones'

No sooner had I put pen to paper last week (ok, finger to keyboard) than a flurry of responses to my new year's mail came in. So in no particular order, let's round up what's been happening...

From my gap year, Olaf and Valentina are expecting a child (ok, Valentina's expecting it, Olaf will just pretend to be pushing when he/she is born :)
Arjan and (insert wife's name here) are also doing fine, working across the desk from Olaf.

Regarding Erasmus friend's...Elisa has gone back to Madrid after finishing her work in a bank in Frankfurt.
Miquel has finished his physics studies and is now considering his possibilities (whilst using every opportunity to complement Ana :)
Gloria is still in Munich teaching away, Elena P being not far away across the border in an austrian village working as well.
Luca is finishing off his master's thesis, Mavi spent New Year's in Cuba (lucky her!) but is now back to teaching children how to do maths in Valencian...
Jaume is doing a doctorate in Valencia, as is José (Marques).
Albakra is preparing for his final exams, whilst working away with his heavy metal. Albé is also working, although I'm not sure where...
Javi is doing a masters and working his way up the ladder to become a certified spaniard (well, ok, to become an embassy representative of said country). Elena C is also in exactly the same situation (they even have the same russian class...).
Juanfran has gone down south (not Australia, rather southern Spain). He now works and resides in a town not far from the border with Portugal (probably eating fish all day long).
Carlitos, Roberto, Ali and Luigi are all still doing their bit to help out german nuclear physics research, whilst Fernando is teaching students in Valencia, and Paolo is doing his doctorate there.
Laurent is currently in (insert current dangerous country here), Leanna is in Rio , Jordi is recovering from a bout of the flu and Olga is getting ready for more psychology exams.

From uni, Kathy is back from her stint in Fiji and Australia and is now settling back to the Londoner's way of life (read, party).
Scott, Andy and Andrew are all continuing with their doctorate's, wondering when it will all end...
Helen is busy being famous on TV shows and the like, promoting physics.

My parents are finally ready to move onto a narrow boat, and are renting out their house in the lovely city of Bath (for more information, please see the contact page :)

So that's the current state of things, updates will be posted when the rest of you get back to me and tell me what you've being doing.

And with that, I'll love you and leave you (only in the metaphorical sense).
