The Danish Christmas seal
The Danish Christmas seal for 2006 has been released and is ready to make its way out into the world via post or email. I have already added the e-version to my outgoing emails. I know some people think it is too early, but I simply LOVE Christmas, and would start Christmassing in July!
Saturday night in…
IKEA! – Blimey – that shop really has improved since they extended it. Now it’s even possible to get what you want when you’re after a flat pack!
To think that you have to buy the cheapest desk to get one that fits the space. Oh, well, we don’t buy it in order that it looks good, but rather to fit the room in question.
Thankfully we have loads of drawers, now that we’ve bought an effektiv filing system. We’ll have to look up the choices as far as some extra desk space goes, once we manage to assemble the items already bought. I’m considering a trestle and a table top to make up a desk together with the filing system. That way the desk can be put away when we need space to unfold the spare bed!
I suppose we could buy a bigger house to make room for both a massive shared office and a couple of spare rooms…

How to make the weekend last…
The weekend is planned:
Friday evening: Peninsula Chinese Restaurant in the company of the Chans
Saturday: Not quite sure yet, but I wonder whether it may be time to get all those photographs under control – they really need to find their way into an album…
Sunday : Get Jens from Tor Anglia, to go out to dinner – probably at Song Que Cafe…
Monday: Daddy Cool at The Shaftesbury Theatre with the Wisharts.
That way the weekend looks as if it’s 4 days long.
Have a good ‘un. (“,)

Q&A with Bill Clinton…
Questions and answers with Bill Clinton 
Q: Who are the most impressive world leaders you have ever met and why?
A: Mandela: He is a true personal friend and a great person. He was a free man long before he was let out of prison. Freedom is a state of mind.
Rabin: If he hadn’t been murdered we would have had peace in the middle east today.
King Hussein: Helped greatly with the peace accord.
Helmut Kohl: Determined to make sure he didn’t repeat past mistakes.
Yeltsin: It was said that he drank too much, from time to time – and he did (giggle!), but he was a great man. He hated communism.
Blair: Has enabled you to lead the world on climate change and Africa.
Kim (Korea): Nobel Price winner!
Cardoso : Paid the mothers to send their children to school and managed to get 98% of kids in school. Treated EVERYONE who had aids!
