Just a few words before bed. Haven't seen the moon for weeks . Where the heck is she ? It's not that cloudy. I've looked and looked :8

My pedometre ( sp?) the little gadget that is supposed to count your steps cheats . It does not register every step I take.

8972 steps today ...that's it .. and I've walked and walked. Not fair. I've just paced around the room- 30 paces and it's not registered 30 .. it's much less. Maybe you need to walk with a bounce and take huge strides. 8991. I'm going to call that at least 10,000.

Night night

Not this particular fly in the picture , but the one that was around last night. Cheeky little fecker kept landing on me while I was typing . Would not leave me alone.So insistant.

It was there even when I went to bed.
Followed me into my bedroom.
Followed me into the bathroom when I got up in the middle of the night.

Getting back to sleep was difficult and almost impossible as the damn thing kept landing on my face, arm, nose ...a most insistant fly it was.

In the end I got up and opened the balcony door and by this time it was already light so it must have found it's way out , because it is gone now

THE END

Feeling restless to day .

Have a long list of things to do when I would rather BE .. simply BE.
Butterflies in my stomach.
Well .. I get like this before a trip .
Just two days now.

I've found my passport good thing.
Also some eauros from last trip abroad.

Must go to the library to print out electronic ticket , though someone told me all you need is the booking code ,Is that true ?
Anyway , I'll feel better with paper ticket in my hand.

Flight is a morning flight. Don't know if local transport will get me there in time. Maybe I need to book a taxi to where the airport bus stops.

Lovely sunny day.
Wonder what the weather will be like in Paris?
Maarja , who was there last week said it was colder than Stockholm.

Layers. The solution to everything. Don't want to take too much. Will pack tonight.

All for now.
Happy Friday everyone

Fleet of one hundred UFOs hovers above Sacramento
(USA)

http://alcuinbramerton.blogspot.com/2007/07/fleet-of-one-hundred-ufos-hovers-above.html

On Sunday 22nd July 2007, in broad daylight at
1.58pm Pacific Daylight Time, a fleet of one
hundred UFOs was observed to be hovering at an altitude
of two thousand feet above Roseville,
Sacramento, California (USA). The fleet was in an ordered
formation of two lines. They were close enough to
the ground to be seen reflecting the sunlight.
The initial report came from Dr Richard Boylan and
Army Sergeant Justin Johnson. It was posted on
several reliable alternative news sites around the
web - for example here and here. Why isn't this
100-craft sighting being reported by the local
Californian media? It would seem to be the most
important UFO manifestation in America since the
Phoenix lights in 1997.

UFO Sightings Bring Town of Stratford, England to
a Standstillhttp://www.dailymail.co.uk/pages/live/articles/news/news.html?in_article_id=470579&in_page_id=1770

A crowd of 100 stunned stargazers brought a town
centre to a standstill when five mysterious UFOs
were spotted hovering in the sky. Drinkers
spilled out of pubs, motorists stopped to gawp and
camera phones were aimed upwards as the five orbs, in
a seeming formation, hovered above
Stratford-Upon-Avon for half an hour. The unidentified flying
objects lit up the otherwise clear night sky
above Shakespeare's birthplace in Warwickshire on
Saturday. Hillary Potter from The British Earth
Aerial Mystery Society (BEAMS) said they were being
inundated with similar calls from across the
country but said it was rare for such phenomena to be
witnessed by so many people. She said: "Such
incidents have been on the increase recently. There
are reports at the moment coming in from all over
the country. "We've had many reports of people
seeing quite large unidentified objects in the
skies. It's not going away, It seems these incidents
are becoming more bold. "People don't know what
to do when they witness such sights and that's
what we're here for. We take the reports very
seriously."

So.. anyone in BLogland seen them ?

Moi ?Not seen them .. but.... I've felt them

The Prof and I loved this book

" Where the Wild Things Are " by Maurice Sendak

Aren't the illustrations fabulous ?

The Story
However, after more the 40 years, what keeps Where the Wild Things Are popular is not the impact of the book on the field of children's literature, it is the impact of the story and the illustrations on young readers. The plot of the book is based on the fantasy (and real) consequences of a little boy's mischief. One night Max dresses up in his wolf suit and does all kinds of things he shouldn't, like chasing the dog with a fork. His mother scolds him and calls him a "WILD THING!" Max is so mad he shouts back, "I'LL EAT YOU UP!" As a result, his mother sends him to his bedroom without any supper.
Max's imagination transforms his bedroom into an extraordinary setting, with a forest and an ocean and a little boat that Max sails in until he comes to a land full of "wild things." Although they look and sound very fierce, Max is able to tame them with a single glance. They all realize Max is "..the most wild thing of all" and make him their king. Max and the wild things have a fine time creating a rumpus until Max begins to want to be "…where someone loved him best of all." Max's fantasy ends when he smells his dinner. Despite the wild things' protests, Max sails back to his own room where he finds his supper waiting for him.

It was nice listening to Maria Callas just then and Joan Baez
