Contest 2 & 3 August

Αγαπητοί φίλοι σας εύχομαι καλό μήνα. Ο Αύγουστος είναι μήνας διακοπών, χαλάρωσης και  αποτοξίνωσης απ’ όλα όσα κάνουμε τους υπόλοιπους έντεκα μήνες του χρόνου.

Βεβαίως υπάρχουν και αυτοί που πήραν την καλοκαιρινή τους άδεια τον Ιοούλιο, οπότε από σήμερα τα κεφάλια μέσα, που λέει ο λόγος.....

Παρ' όλα αυτά, αν για κάποιο λόγο το επερχόμενο διήμερο βρεθείτε μπροστά στον ασύρματο, θα ακούσετε αρκετούς διαγωνισμούς οι οποίοι μάλιστα παρουσιάζουν αρκετό ενδιαφέρον. 

Σας εύχομαι καλό Σαββατοκύριακο.
