Dear EAJRS members, dear friends,
I am writing this message on the morning of New Year’s Day. All is quiet on the human front of ambition and contest. Most of the revellers are still asleep, no traffic jams, no queues. Quietness is all around. I hope that you have spent a pleasant and peaceful Christmas and end of year, and have safely and happily made the transition into 2016.
