Going up north in Sweden....Goran ELIASSON !!

Tomorrow is Gorans' premiere in Umea - I mentioned it in a previous blog, but didn't report that in the Stockholm press his name was misquoted as Goran Eriksson - tush, tush - almost as bad as my wayward keyboard fingers..... Anna (Larsson) and I will go there tomorrow - the farthest north I have ever been in the world, the land of the midnight sun, and Father Christmas - sounds like a very romantic place and I'm looking forward to it...One of the joys of being a guest in their happy, comfortable home is having fun with the boys - Axel and August - it takes years off one to romp around and enjoy their frolics ! Yes, the inner child is still very much alive with all of us in this household, even when we are dog tired, such a blessing. Yesterday I walked in the woods, by the seashore, in glorious sunshine, with Anna and Mussi, their friendly little dachshund, (and managed to avoid slipping on the icy paths with the help of Anna) - that was blissful. On many occasions I used my breathing technique to ascend little hillocks and steps - as you go up, breathe in slowly through the nose, then exhale slowly through pursed lips - don't gasp in air through the mouth as you will tire and have a very dry mouth and throat... In England we consider that everyone needs an imaginary "island" to find peace, and they literally have that ! One can understand the serenity of Goran and Anna when they are far from the madding crowd, and hurly burly of show biz !! So, here's to every success for the production .....k..p b.......g Dear Readers....show
