Joanna Lumley: "But we all need reminding often of how tiny our footprints are before the next wave comes crashing in to obliterate them. Footprints in the sands of time. We are like icebergs, only a small part of us showing and about nine-tenths underwater, made up of hidden thoughts and a completely separate life. I believe that's why we love stories and films and above all music. Even though we can, with the top part of the iceberg, the one-tenth sticking out of the water, discuss them with other people, how we interpret them is surely completely singular. Our imagination, our greatest gift, is utterly different from that of every other soul that has ever lived. Remarkable! Miraculous, even: a daily miracle."

Hi everybody
Tomorrow my train-trip to Sweden starts. I will stay in Stadra near Nora north of Örebro for three and a half weeks. If i find a internet connection in the middle of nowhere I will keep you posted what's going on up there... ;-)
Of course there is also much cultural stuff going on like the theatre run by Magnus. More infos: http://www.stadrasommarscen.nu or about the area http://www.nora.se. The catering of the theatre is once more done by the lovely Berglunds Schweizeri (http://www.berglundshandelsbod.se) *yummy*
