I don’t know what you experience when you go into a book store. But if you are like me, you spend quite some money there, in spite of amazon and the like. Today I went into a book store looking for a gift - went out with the gift and to additional books for me.
About the icelandic author I can’t say anything so far - at the moment I am just hooked by Iceland, so I hope I like it. And then I saw the newest book of Gertrud Leutenegger, a swiss author. She has written many books, but is not very well known. I suspect because not much happens in her books. At least at the first glance. And her language is excellent - it is really fascinating reading her. Only to hope that I don’t expect too much from the new book.
By the way I wouldn’t have known Leutenegger either, if it hadn’t been for Monika Schnyder. Besides teaching arabic (egyptian dialect), Monika is writing wonderful poems. And she happens to be a good friend of mine!
was last weekend and guess what? I bought art. Two paintings from Rätia Velten - love them.
White reminds me on northern norway where I spent a year once
And Blue, mmh, not much to say isn’t it?
Just bought this tarzan t-shirt!
Today the lauftreff training was led by Manuel Jonasch. We started with a warm up, then walked a special bare foot trail, did some coordination exercise and finally the intervall training. Of course we had to jog back afterwards! At the very end, after the stretching we all lay flat in the grass and relaxed. And the very best: Manuel told us to shorten the training from time to time for some minutes and to do nothing instead. Really nothing. What a relaxing tip in this hectic world. Thanks for the training, Manuel 
PS. we trained for more than 90 minutes…

Like many others I am using Flickr as a CMS for a website using Satellite. Unfortunatly Satellite offers no support for authenticated calls which I need now to get private pictures on the website. So I need to adjust Satellite myself, which is challenging, considering the fact that I know php only marginally. But then a programming language is a programming language is a programming language (I know that there are differences and everybody has his/her favorite, but I am not going into this). The documentation on Flickr Services is ok, but not extremely helpful. phpFlickr offered the most promising help, especially the authentication tool was very helpful (didn’t work with Safari though, Firefox was ok). phpFlickr also takes care of the ordering of the parameters and the creation of the api signature for you. So know the only task remaining is to make Satellite work together with phpFlickr… If I get it running I let you know here.
O, yes nearly forgot the running. Joined the Birslauf today. Was a lot of fun!
Don’t worry, that’s not going to be a sports blog. May be I should start twittering about my runnings. Or not. But what came to my mind while running, was, that I am probably more a mind blogger than an actual blogger. Often when I am running or on my way with the bycicle I think about. And lately I noticed that I started to think if something would be interesting to blog about. Unfortunately it seems that thinking about blogging somehow prevents the actual blogging. Like having thougt about something actually is enough, may be to get a clearer picture of something or so. And then I often lack the motivation to actually write about it…
