seriously though, a couple of friends visited dachau while ago and said it was an amazing experience. scary, and very sobering, but at the same time they said that it also left them with the feeling that the trip had been a very positive and life affirming experience.

i must admit that i'd prefer scarborough though

You bitch.

Somewhere south of Cadiz 03-07 March to chill and get some sun. Unfortunately I won't be learning to surf as you need to be a cross between The Man From Atlantis and Billy The Fish to tackle even a three foot wave ...

Athens 15/16 March for a 'management meeting ...'

Plus four days in the garden leading up to Easter in an attempt to hack through the undergrowth. Otherwise I'll just run an ebay search on the U.S Military Surplus To Requirements site for 'Agent Orange.'

just been in the Dam but it wasn't very sunny or was it?

want to go to Italy in the Summer and Southern Ireland is a definite too

If the taxman gets me, I probably go here...

I was there almost seven years ago now (how old am I?!). Being a glass-half-empty kinda person myself, I wouldn't say it was a life-affirming experience for me at all. Especially not with history being cyclical, and mankind being so shortsighted towards both the future and the past. But regardless, I believe it's a necessary experience.

Anyhoo, I'm off to New Orleans in June, cos it'll be unbearably hot and therefore cheaper.

Plans?

Only the Heartland gathering in February and

http://www.comune.lavagna.ge.it/ for the Easter days.

Nothing scheduled for later, cause you never know what life offers (whether the Sisters will wake up or not etc. etc...)

I need to get out of here: We have snow now, it is freezing 2 degrees below zero and I'm just not made for that kind of weather....

By the way: What's it like in Leeds at the moment?

Eva.

"By the way: What's it like in Leeds at the moment?"

*brrrrr*

grey, rainy and a little chilly.

same as it ever was

Well, at least I don't expect any better in Leeds - or Glasgow, for that matter...


Another question: Any good clothing stores in Leeds? I still need a very warm very cosy very long black winter coat...

Cheers, Eva.

depends on what you mean by "good"

we have some very expensive department stores (harvey nichols etc) and some very expensive designer boutiques.... but not much in the way of army/navy surplus stores

forget the designer stores and boutiques etc.! I'm broke since I've started to follow the Sisters and made friends abroad, and I'll never be rich and famous.

No cheap clothing stores? But it's supposed to be LEEDS and not Milan or Paris FFS!

So where do you natives get your clothes? Don't tell me you're travelling down to London each time you need a new pair of knickers....

H&M is pretty cool. very affordable and quite funky... there's a few others too that i cant remember the name of. new look? zara? stuff like that...

other than that its case of popping to marks and spencers for your socks & pants (and bras i suppose)

Same choice as in Zurich then, but maybe up north they don't try to sell you t-shirts and bikinis yet...

you might not get one. shops are getting their spring stuff in, and its supposed to be 'warm' then.

Glasgow was frosty in't morn then fine and sunny with an outstanding sunset
