Kobtzeff Update - for anyone who was not on the mailing list...
Well, following the e-mail updates sent out by Robin, Sherinna & Nadia I was too tempted not to "break the chain"...Some of this may be old news to some, but just to be sure you all are up-to-date with the latest here we go...
We've been living out in the country for the last 6 months in André's house where he grew up. It's only about a 40 min drive into Paris without trafic, but as we've come to learn, with trafic it can take up to an hour and a half!!! We didn't want to change Misha from the school he was in, so André has been a tough little soldier driving Misha into Paris every morning before driving on to work. I myself have learned about the joys of comuting by public transport - which is a real treat especially when the French decide to strike, which as you all do know they love to do.
We have finally found a place of our own West of Paris in St Germain en Laye (about 25km from Paris), and are now waiting to hear from the bank on our loan etc... If all goes well we should be signing and getting the keys on the 24th. So everybody fingers crossed!!! It's a 92m² flat and we'll have a Guest room/study, so hopefully we'll be able to welcome some of you in our home sweet home. Unfortunately Paris prices won't allow us to be in the city centre, and for the same price I'd rather have some more room.
Misha will be starting hist first year of school there in a public French school. He was in a bilingual Kindergarden in Paris which has allowed him to sort out French & English (plus a bit of Russian), so he's got a good base of both to work with. This last year he's been doing fencing, so we'll see what sport he'll want to pick up this year... he has spoken about football, but that could just be a World Cup phase?
I'm still with Disney Store and enjoying it although a bit stressed right now when I think of everything I have to get done before going on our Summer vacation to the South of France (as usual 3 weeks of sea & sun, not so much sand... it's pebbles there!) André is still working for a TV cable channel but wouldn't mind a bit of a change. I've gotten pretty much into the whole blog thing recently with Oli's HK Connection blog.

Well, it's way past my bed time now, so I'll be leaving all you good people.. do just update your files, as I still get some e-mails on our old e-mail address. The correct one is the Yahoo! one (makobtzeff@yahoo.com). As we say to Misha every day when we drop him off at Kindergarden : Have Fun & Be Good!
