Rain

This one goes to all of you guys who got used to reading my blog every two weeks: apologies for the silence, but two big projects have popped up and so free time has become a scarce resource.

First, I am leaving my house in the country and move back to the seaside, at least for the next few months. With all the material stuff that has accumulated over the years, that's quite a task! What's bizarre, if not weird: you spend lots of time earning money to buy all those things that you don't really need, and then you have to spend more time and often even more money to get rid off them again. What a clever race we are...

The second project is a new book that I have started to write. As a consequence I have been rather unsocial the last few weeks, hiding in my author bubble behind the computer screen. Again, apologies. The book will be great though, different to THE LITTLE BUDDHA as it will be non-fiction, but equally full of thought-provoking content. Another month or so and you will get more details.

One last thing before I go back to packing boxes: While all of northern Europe is enjoying beautiful sunny spring weather it's raining down here in AndalucĂ­a. And you know what? I love it! Having every day blue sky gets boring after a while – you actually start missing what you don't have. So thank you dear God for giving us some rain!
