"This is not a blog"

Hey chaps,

Thought I`d update again - because I can! But now in Switzerland again, with my sis, and hence the crazy keyboards are making it more difficult to type than expected. Hmm...

Anyway, Julia, further to the "forwardness" (if such a word exists) of French men, I have figured out it`s because the French women are such ice queens - most of them could very easily fall into a Hitchcock film and look totally in place - hence the men have to be extra-extra opportunistic to even get a word out of them, let alone a smile and a conversation, or more. I want to be a French woman! No, that`s a lie. I want to meet a French woman! Like, say, Juliette Binoche. Or Emmanuel Beart. Or Johnny Depp. No, hold on - he`s not...

So, where was I? Or in fact, where am I? Oh that`s right, Basel. I went to a gallery yesterday: The Beyeler Foundation. Basically modern art, to fit with the theme of the week: Tate Modern in London, Pompidou in Paris, Beyeler in Basel. And I have decided that I love Picasso. Can`t get enough of it at the moment. I think particularly it`s the playful, colourful ones that I love the most. Also, MirĂ². Love him too. There was a Rene Magritte exhibition which was cool. If you like Magritte. Which I do. "This is not a blog." (I would write it in French, but you know, my French is - just - well - too - ah - hm.)

Anyway, the sun is shining and I should push off - make the most of it. Drink coffee. I`ve become an expresso drinker - mainly because it`s cheaper! Funny thing though, I introduced Nadia (my sis) to Sudoku and she keeps saying how stupid it is, but she can`t stop playing it! Ooh, lunch! What should I have for lunch?

Hallo! The last time I read your blogspot I believe I was in Warsaw. Now I'm back in Berlin and was absolutely delighted to find THREE new updates! Well done chappy, well done. I just went to the Sudoku website you referred me to and it looks addictive (in the same way that Minesweeper is addictive), but I'm too tired to give it a real go now. I'll let you know how I'm going after the addiction kicks in...

How fantastic that you're coming back to Berlin! Of course we'll have you and Genna! We'll have you for breakfast and then I'm sure there'll be enough left of you both to have you for lunch and dinner too! And then if there are any bits left after that we can pop you into plastic bags and cram you into the freezer!

I, too, am tired.

Bed time now. Back to work tomorrow. Ggrrr...

Ceci n'est pas un blog....
And all I can say (well, not all, but something else) is Picasso...Miro....BARCELONA!
Oh, and Oulu. Of course. But that's just for the homeliness of my home, rather than the modern artness of it.

Your friendly european language consultant.
