It’s only a day away…

Panda and Bella’s London adven­ture is only about a day away. We leave pain­fully early Friday morn­ing and return Sunday night – in those three days we’ve a packed pro­gram con­cist­ing of loads of lit­er­at­ure stuff that no one else wants to do. But we’ve found each other and will finally get to go spy on Vir­ginia Woolf’s house and visit the Dick­ens and Sher­lock Holmes museums. I am very excited. Also we’re stay­ing at posh hotel which is a vast improve­ment from my last visit to the met­ro­polis. Can’t wait – I am already miss­ing the luxury of Schæffergården and am in need of a fix.

Exhaustion and indescribable happiness

Posted on | June 21, 2009 | No Comments

Words do not exist that can describe what I am exper­i­en­cing here. I am a whole new me. It is as if I was never whole until I came here and took part in this fant­astic lit­er­ary fel­low­ship. I am writ­ing this sit­ting at the open window in my hotel room listen­ing to the chir­rup­ing birds in the wood sur­round­ing the lake and grounds, watch­ing the swal­lows play flying just above the ground and the wag­tails trip­ping about bask­ing in the sunshine.

Check out  the photo gal­lery I posted on Sat­urday for more smash­ing new images. Today has been a day of learn­ing. We have had a guest lec­turer who talked to us for two hours straight (no coffee or toilet break) about a new trend in lit­er­at­ure: Google poetry/ phone book poetry/ [lit­er­ary] file shar­ing. Very inter­est­ing stuff, but I was oh so exhausted after last night’s party in the grounds and after party in our room that I had much trouble under­stand­ing his not very artic­u­lated Danish. Craved coffee and needed the toilet very des­per­ately. But I sur­vived and lived to tell the tale (here)! Two hours till dinner which I am hoping will finally be dairy free. Such a shame having to leave most of the food on my plates (all three of them!) just because almost all the food is either cooked butter, drenched in cream sauce or simply made of milk. The buf­fets how­ever are still fantastic.
