Perspective

[blamebrampton]

I was going to post a long and involved post asking why all the Worldcup palaver turned into such sturm und drang, donder and blitzen, Grumpy and Sleepy, but then the Monster kitten spent the last five minutes playing splashies with her water bowl and now I have two little cats sitting on my feet drying off in front of the heater.

And it occurs to me that rather than getting to the heart of why so many of my lovely friends were so drained by Worldcup (I was in the group drained before postings, as opposed to the group who lost the will to live during, who should not be confused with the mods who are even now forming a support network), what I really want to do is hire an aeroplane, jet round the world, pick everyone up, and bring you all here to play with the cats.

 Bugger tea and Xanax, there's nothing like a kitten nomming on your toes to make the world seem a more pleasant place.

Maybe I should spend my spare week in Germany rather than England later this year, I am starting to feel the pang of reminiscence ... it was indeed a perfect place to be in love. Even with the political craziness of those days.

If your come to Berlin, there's a couch and breakfast here any time you wish :-). (this is serious, btw, would love to meet you)

I need to do some serious planning; there's about 10 days' worth of stuff I need to do in Italy, but then I would feel stupid jumping on a plane and coming home. So it is either catch up with friends and family in England or Sweden, or else take a week or two for a gallery tour of Germany or Holland so that I can do some research on a few of my long-term projects.

If I go with the latter option, I will certainly come through Berlin and catch up, that would be great!

No, you need to spend it in England, in late Sept, early Oct, so we can totally meet up over there and cause havoc, and or mahem... with possibly theft of interesting British mail boxes. >.>

Sadly I am booked out for most of that period, and won't be in Italy until the beginning of November. You could hang around ...
