Tomorrow the year 2oo7 comes to an end. This post’s title is what we use to say to each other before the 31st of December and if you translate this directly it means “good slide”. Well, sounds strange in English though.

What are you guys talking about??? I mean I saw Charlie’s Angels last week as well, because it was on TV but… Hans, even though I have no idea what you were talking about, I think you are taking things way too serious in your holidays…

If René reads this: I have added you to my contacts in XING but I am not a paying member and this means I can do nothing there. This is why I didn’t write you a message.

OK guys… I hope everyone is fine. Don’t party too much tomorrow! I hope to speak to you soon in the new year… I will be on Skype on the 1st for some hours, so feel free to come along… online at least.

P.S.: Cirque’s KA was on TV here! Great show…

First of all: Merry Christmas to all people celebrating it – in some way or another. It is good to hear that you are back home Hans. But you have to hurry up with your recovery, because you have all the half-half ingredients in your room in Liverpool and I am not sure for how long Eyal and I will be able to resist breaking into your room then… 😉

I was away for a few days in the mountains, the weather was brilliant and we do have as much snow as Hans in Norway… not a lot but it was white Christmas… well a bit at least. I didn’t have internet were I was and the last days I couldn’t decide on what to write here or anywhere and therefore decided to stay away from the virtual reality for a while. But it seems I am back now…

It looks like I will be designing the lighting for a musical for Graham next year the first days of March in Birmingham. The details are not set yet, but it should be quite good though. Haven’t worked on my FRP yet and I really hope that some miracle happens soon and I get a little bit of enthusiasm for this project as I feel at the moment it might not be very good otherwise.

I got the Northern Lights trilogy for Christmas and I am currently reading “The golden compass”, which is slightly different to the film… I also wanted to read Harry Potter again and “The green mile” follows me since I was on the airport before Christmas.

So now, this year is almost over and I am trying to decide whether it was a good or a bad year. There were a lot of good things and also quite a lot of bad things this year which makes it difficult to decide. But it doesn’t really matter I think. Ahead of us lies the future, no matter what calenders say. And the future starts now, the very next second that is going to run down the never ending stream of time and we will only know what it brings, when the time has come.

… Oh well, Christmas messes with my thoughts I think. Speak to you soon, maybe on Skype… have a good time!

Hmm, this sounds a bit worrying Hans. I hope the people “working” on you will find out what is wrong with you at the moment. I was thinking about things in the Lodge that could perhaps cause these problems. The only thing I could think of is: Did you try this blue topping on your ice cream one day…? 😉 OK – bad joke. But besides that, I don’t know if it has something to do with the house… maybe something to do with the mould we discovered recently in the dining room? This does cause problems sometimes, or better the mould spores in the air…

Eyal… I will not tell you that you have to sleep at some point. You should know by now anyway.

Here it is freezing cold, with about -5°C and very cold wind from the North – so basically from where you guys are… It is grey all day long and I am already quite bored without the Lodge people. Well, Christmas is on its way and of course, I have no presents what so ever yet. Tomorrow I will go shopping and see what I can find. And Eyal: Do not write about the FRP EVERY AGAIN!!!! I was just trying not to think about it…. 😉

OK, Hans, get well soon and let us know about the outcome… (doesn’t need to be here in the www) and: Give yourself a bit of rest before coming back to business again…
