A beverage my friends would consider rather rare to find silently boiling in front of me. I'm a coffee addict. Something my doctor keeps complaining about and my former director would have called 'a good boy'. Trying to be healthy, that is. With so many dancers around me being all flexible, in shape, eating healthy and sh... (should work on my language – sorry). This weekend will acquire a lot of work, effort and <i>awakeness</i> to accomplish our goal of shooting Jasmine's movie, putting the furniture into Merryn's closet (which would be Jasmine), putting the final finesse in Allison's piece and getting my untrained, out of shape old bum up on the roof. Caffeine needed, for sure! So green tea seemed to be the right choice. </p> <p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">We don't need to worry, though, 'cause today Jolanda brought over a cricket. I assume it is a lucky one, even though I did not run across the highway holding the cricket to prove my assumption. That wouldn't have proven much, anyways, concerning the dutch acceleration temperament. Still, it's a lucky one, although it has a temper. It is … complaining ... much. Standing on the cupboard, doing knee bends, stretching it's head up high, shouting … one gets the impression it must be of Canadian decent. </p> <p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">Shshsh-BOOM!</p> <p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">Just now, three shoes were thrown in my <span style="font-style: normal;">general</span> direction. Canadians^^! <i>Sis is eksaktly se riesson wai ai schuud noot wörk in ä kommuunitii in wwitsch ai äm ä minorätii</i>. Just kidding. The girls are lovely, working hard and highly understanding ... me being an artistically uneducated, second language speaking, not used to creating beautiful art all day, German-man in Delft. But I think I need to get going, 'cause the girls seem to be indecisive whether or not they should put me in a <i>not big enough</i> box. If I want to have a say in this, as well, I should maybe be part of the deciding process. So, fare thee well, eat drink and be merry(n)!</p> <p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">hihi</p><p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"> <span style="font-size:78%;"><span style="font-style: italic; font-family: arial;">by henning</span></span><br /></p>due yesterday danceshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13211788525592980262noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5715436184438294837.post-35781077596613740162009-08-07T07:46:00.000-07:002009-08-07T07:49:15.767-07:00a lovely note from a readerthis dear note came to me via email from jasmine, sent from a very sweet reader and friend:<br /><br /><span style="font-family: trebuchet ms; font-style: italic;">"I am so pleased to have followed this project and to feel connected to the process.

I am sorry you were unable to film Jasmine in the closet segment but look forward to whatever gets put together. It reminds me of the Dance Fest in Rotterdam, as any site specific work, it is temporary fleeting, in the moment, unique never again to be repeated exactly; especially when the audience's presence shapes and alters the context so much.

we spent the morning putting the final touches on everything. a crew came by with beer, wine, chips & nuts for the "drink" afterwards (for which we volunteered our house, being the most appropriate one for hosting). we joined the other presenting artists at the cultural centre a half hour before the talk, just to make sure everything was going to work with the projector.<br /></p><p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">the talk itself went well: it was pretty short. i gave an overview of our living situation in the house together, a little background info, and the setup of our showing-to-be. we then each covered the inspirations for our individual explorations. most of the other artists showed some of their previous work on the projector, but ours was, of course, live, so it seemed a bit redundant to show anything ahead of time.<br /></p><span style="color: rgb(51, 102, 255);"><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"><br />the group arrived at our house ahead of schedule. we rushed henning up the stairs, where he perched himself partway out the window</span></span><span style="color: rgb(51, 102, 255);"><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"> with his guitar</span></span><span style="color: rgb(51, 102, 255);"><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">. as the crowds arrived across the lawn, he began to sing "our house", but a brilliantly rewritten version to suit the three of us dancers in the house. the three of us watched from the wide-open kitchen window, smiling out as person after person gathered on the backyard patio ... until we were faced with a crowd much larger than anticipated. jasmine went outside to greet them as planned. she led them in to the bike closet, where mattresses were laid across the floor, the projector poised to project the video onto the ceiling. allison, henning and i hid in the living room: me and allison warming up, henning re-tuning the guitar. there seemed to be voices and confusion beyond the door, though. it turned out half the crowd couldn't fit into the room! so the video showed twice, while we - okay, allison - humoured the first crowd until the second played through.<br /><br />we pushed them to the sides of the hallway so jasmine and i could slip the projector up to the bedroom where my piece was to be. (yes, i understand how ghetto our equiptment trade-off is. we were just trying to maintain an authentic feel of how things really function in our house.) henning was a darling and played softly to the crowd from the stairway, to keep them all from getting too restless.<br /><br />now, instant replay for a film is one thing. for a guitarist & dancer (when part of the show is the act of applying makeup) it's not so okay. so we squeezed everyone in. and oh boy! did they squeeze. they got nice 'n' cozy in a stifling hot room, while i shoved them away from the one small floor space needed: for the seated musician and small pathway where the door of the closet would open to reveal jasmine inside. unfortunately it was so tightly packed it was physically impossible for me to stick around. so there will be no real video of that piece to be uploaded. however, i have a genius plan to edit together the film that was projected simultaneously, with the dress rehearsal that was recorded. (depends on how creative i feel during my five-hour layover in boston)<br /><br />the audience was cooperative and went with the flow of this new experience of living art! we piled 35 to 40 strangers and artists into a room about the size of my first new york apartment.<br /><br /></span></span><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhRdfFYSqICERqWbtV7lpqf1Rg3FaO1kXHVUM1ELF5mMH0nxj-FTPhI-1IWF7GEcG6R5hgpzoFExVqXnlGJmnZu5_JZvidVrQD7AKbmzycWlza_kNCeYvEZNHF-m7E9vZxh4TffeY5SBhQ/s1600-h/MVI_1464+008.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer;

(and other dance stuff, too)in conversation with allison this week i am learning about the vast difference between being a dancer and being a choreographer, and what aspects i should alter from one role to the other. i am approaching the work as i naturally would: physicalizing the movement and focusing on the steps and gestures over the concept. allison has suggested setting material on my dancer without demonstrating. by giving verbal direction and coaching, the piece has the opportunity to becomes a part of jasmine's body without her trying to mimic or copy me. it offers me fresh perspective on the material, and gives jasmine more freedom to make it her own.<br />oh, and i think i hear allison stirring upstairs. it's nearly class-time! we've been having a great exchange, teaching each other our favourite conditioning, strenghtening and stretching exercises.<br /><br />***<br /><br />we visited an old favourite in class today: the graham technique. though neither of us had done a graham class for some years now (maybe since we were each in new york), the floorwork came back to our bodies as though it was just yesterday. isn't it incredible, how amazing our bodies are? that muscle memory is so strong and our bodies can recall movements they haven't practiced for years. granted, we must large tribute to our training, and that we did the same set of exercises daily for years. but just sitting there with the soles of my feet touching, memories of my former mentor & favourite teacher, denise vale, surfaced in my mind. her voice, corrections, and guidance came back to me as i excecuted the floorwork. and as we sat facing the large windows in our studio (the living room), candles lit in front of us to help warm the room - or so i like to believe - the storm raged outside, sheets of rain pounding the ground and bouncing off the orange awning over our front patio. it was beautiful!<br /><br />and on to rehearsal. but first, a wee break; enough time for a cuppa earl grey & rooibos blend. delicious. i'll use the time to select some photographs for today's entry. but in case i don't find any, i have recently revisited my flickr site (inspired by the lovely hope) and have uploaded a bunch of photos taken over the past month!

and now, even though we still have a week and a half, it feels like all the time is slipping through my fingers. yesterday we passed<span style="color: rgb(0, 153, 0);"> a beautiful afternoon on the canals & streets of amsterdam</span>, letting allison adjust to the netherlands. <span style="color: rgb(0, 153, 0);">hope disappears today</span>, off to greet her husband when he arrives at the amsterdam airport (awww). so allison and i will have the full day to focus on <span style="color: rgb(0, 153, 0);">beginning our process together</span>: both her piece - in which we are each dancing - and my piece, for which i seek her advice. we are also sent on a mission today to <span style="color: rgb(0, 153, 0);">distribute the flyers for the showing! </span>what a perfect way to really get to know a city. i'm almost sad we weren't given the task sooner. so i'm afraid there's not much artistically to mention yet this morning. it is still dawn, after all... (i managed to wake up at 5:30 with a call to the restroom, and found myself too restless to fall back asleep.)<br /><br />we did do a couple <span style="color: rgb(204, 51, 204);">thirty-second <span style="color: rgb(153, 51, 153);">photoshoo</span><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"><span style="color: rgb(153, 51, 153);">t </span>sessions</span></span> yesterday. one happened in the closet, which was an interesting challenge for me. <span style="color: rgb(153, 51, 153);">the task: </span>use the movement i've created for my piece, and work it in the confines of the closet. hmm, well that's the exact task i had planned to give jasmine during our next rehearsal, since that's the next step in our process. let me tell you: i <span style="font-weight: bold;">don't</span> envy her. haha... it was <span style="font-weight: bold;">not </span>easy to take the material and try to move it. <span style="color: rgb(153, 51, 153);">(considering you can't actually </span><span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(153, 51, 153);">move </span><span style="color: rgb(153, 51, 153);">in there.) </span>this could prove to develop some really interesting material... or, perhaps, it will completely alter the piece. (which, don't get me wrong, would not be a terrible thing! after all, something i'm working on <span style="color: rgb(153, 51, 153);"><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">learning is </span>how to throw out material; not being attached to one idea; being okay with saying something doesn't work</span>)<br /><br />as in good style, i'll wrap this up with some photos for your amusement. stay tuned as the adventures continue, next we begin to explore allison's piece of work. back like in the good ol' days, rehearsing with allison.<br /><br /><a onblur="try

like i've lived here for a year already. jasmine and henning went off yesterday - backpacks, beer, pasta salad, guitar, slackline, and all - to return to groningen for the next five days. we had a good photoshoot and filming of my piece, version 1, in the closet room. it's so exciting to have henning on board, who is hungry to add his artistic input and offering interesting suggestions that fit so perfectly with my developing vision. but the blue room/closet room is a tight space, and leaves little room for the camera plus cameraman (slash choreographer) plus photographer (plus dancer and musician). i am considering making an artistic choice to film in there, however, because it's quite interesting to have moments when body parts are missing from the frame. i have to watch the video again and decide later. i also have to make some alterations to the choreography and smooth out some transitions. but that was to be expected, and i can have it all ready for when the duo returns from groningen and we do our final filming. <span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(0, 0, 153);">(** check out hope's site for pics from our filming session in the blue room<span style="color: rgb(51,

</span>**)</span><br /><br />we also made beautiful headway on jasmine's piece, filming version 1 with me and henning. the piece is really fun to explore: working out how to be a creaturesque human being, making my way out of bed & around the house in the morning, with a harmonica-playing man following me around as though it's all as natural as breathing.<br /><br />yesterday at noon sharp liset and her husband, hank, arrived at our door with cameras, tripod, and our rabbit replicas (for us to take home while she keeps the originals that sit on our backs). the passage was closed (sunday) but the sky was keeping the rain at bay, so we decided to take the chance and shoot outside. jasmine and i used choreography from my blue room/closet piece, with an added improvisation, and henning played us a beautiful song he composed recently<span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(255, 204, 51);"><span style="color: rgb(0, 153, 0);"> (that you can hear on his site!)</span><span style="color:

liset!<br /><br />that'll be all for now, i think. allison arrives today, completing our trio of dance artists!! the full house continues to shift and change, and we adapt with it and with each new addition. i love making art! it's art-tastic.<br /> <a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"

news, many people8 in the morning. a quiet morning, a cold morning. i've had to light candles in hopes that it will warm up the room. in the time since i last wrote, much has shifted and changed in our house.<span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"> it is alive & buzzing with new people and many new ideas! oh it's all so exciting!!</span><br /><br />hope arrived on wednesday afternoon and, after a patio picnic of mystery meats and rose, we started moving in the living room. we let our bodies warm up through impro, moving however it felt best, often talking, sometimes just listening to the music. i chatted about my piece and the ideas behind it, rambling and letting a stream-of-thought fall out, and hope asked questions and challenged me on some of my approaches.<span style="color: rgb(0, 102, 0);"> it was so good to have a fresh opinion on things, and hope was suggesting ways to push the movement and challenge the choreography (and the choreographer...) that caused the piece to go in completely unexpected (and highly welcome) directions. </span>the movement phrases shifted and grew, and by the end of our little session i had a whole new piece of material in front of me. there was something brilliant and simple about some of the things hope was saying. she pushed me to move the piece in space: something i had been subconsciously avoiding.<span style="color: rgb(51, 153, 153);"> i suppose with the knowledge that this will be performed in a closet, i've been restricting my movement to fairly small, gestural phrasing. </span>but to create a better contrast between the film and the closet, and letting the piece grow and gain momentum, going bold will prove much more fruitful.<span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 102);"> i'm so stoked for this weekend when jasmine, henning and i go into the closet room and we can explore how the larger phrases have to be modified. the challenge of altering more grand and spacious phrasing will be so much more exciting and will hopefully create interesting concepts and ideas in the tiny performance space.</span><br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(102, 102, 102);">next we welcomed jasmine back to the house late thursday evening. we had a large "family" dinner and jasmine became acquainted with ben, daniel and hope. i taught jasmine three phrases of material: a floor phrase that developed from one of jasmine's impro tasks, the root phrase that the rest of the standing work was developed from, and the root phrase as it was developed to move in space when hope challenged me. we are ready for today, when i will take the piece to the next level in the closet. </span><br /><br />hope and i went on a walking adventure in town, taking a lovely coffee break in the central square, and taking pictures of signs in the streets and swans on the canal. hope reignited my thrill of the city by reminding me, with her first-timer excitement, how beautiful, quaint and unique this city is. while we were out, jasmine picked henning up from the station and they were here to greet us when we returned. <span style="color: rgb(102, 0, 204);">now we are six!</span> i taught a yoga class, and we roped dan and henning in - first-time yogis who cursed me as i made them balance in side plank and rest in warrior II. <span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);">and ready for the next surprise of the day? ... henning brought his slackline!!</span> after yoga, henning slipped out into the field behind our house and strapped the line between two trees. when i came outside he happily playing, walking and jumping, on the line. <span style="font-style: italic;">i am in love with slacklining!</span> <span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"> </span>(don't worry, i didn't know about it until recently either: <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slacklining"><cite>en.wikipedia.org/wiki/<b>Slacklining</b></cite></a>.) henning gave me a tutorial, walking me through the first steps - just getting onto the line. he broke it down in a way that i could understand, cleverly relating what i had talked about in yoga to how i have to think and move on the line. we played around outside on the line, and toyed with some flips and tumbling on the grass.<span style="color: rgb(153, 0, 0);"><br /><br />meanwhile the brothers were busy at work painting the bedroom ... ooh it looks so good! </span>and around 10pm we all sat down to a huge dinner and discussed plans for approaching the work we have to cover on the weekend. we have a lot of work to do, but with all this fresh energy and these new games, i think we'll be fine. it seems we're all in a really good place to work, create, explore, trade knowledge, and learn from each other.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();}

latest guestsi moved inside from my nice morning on the back patio as the sky threatened, yet again, to downpour. it's been sunny then breezy then sunny then chilly, and it's got that feel of rain now. so i sit here, procrastinating on beginning my choreographic exploration for the day, and i thought - what better thing to do than make an entry! i should introduce our latest house guests! <br /><br />two couch surfing graffiti artists from australia, ben and daniel, have joined us for three days. after already months on the road with camping gear on their backs, they're touring the better part of the netherlands to paint and explore. as i write, they're at the main graffiti wall - the bridge that separates our ghetto from downtown - and hopefully by this evening i'll have some photos to put up. we've also managed to convince them (it wasn't hard) to do something in our house. it's a medium jasmine and i don't dare try ... plus we like everyone who passes through to leave a little mark of their own.due yesterday

this week. i like the calm. i like the angle: shot from the floor, much of the back, not the face or any expression. i like the relationship between the camera and the dancer. there's less intrusion somehow - maybe in the simplicity. maybe the dancer is not trying to show off?<br /><br />there is an aspect of the video that feels almost defeatist. interestingly this gives new light to my exploration of the hidden self versus the exposed self. rather than using the "hidden" as a larger, angrier, bigger, more forceful personality, while the "exposed shows a refined person, maybe the energies can be reversed. maybe the hidden person is the internal monologue, and the outgoing one has aspects of a put-on, larger-than-life being.<br /><br />thanks for the task, jasmine!due yesterday

tasks and a dedication to chenoah ellisafter jasmine left yesterday, i took my notebook up to the bedroom to sit at my newly-placed desk. a big wooden chair (one of three that we found in a garbage pile on the other side of the bridge) was put in front of the desk when we set up the work corner. so i sat on it for the first time! ... and it broke from underneath me. turns out it was in the garbage for a reason. go figure.<br /><br />sitting on the lopsided seat and doing most of the work with my own feet, i looked up at the wall in front of me. nailed in a line were five folded letters, each with a date and "to merryn" written on the front - one for each day jasmine is gone. i took the first, labeled "july 12 209 to merryn". inside it explained that each letter had a note and an impro task that i was to take on.<br /><br />you can imagine what the next few days of blogging will be about ...<br /><br />but first: more pictures! at dear chenoah's request, i will go on the hunt for shots of me & jasmine dancing.due yesterday

left for groningen this afternoon. she'll be gone until thursday, which leaves me three full days of solitude (before hope joins me here) to work on the bulk of my choreography. jasmine and i have it scheduled that i show my piece to her and henning this saturday, so henning can work on the music for it and i can teach jasmine material. but, in honour of the work we've been doing, and in honour of the rain and the grossness of the rain outside, i decided to take a weekend day. it's actually my first day off since i got here. the day off will really relate only to dancing, since i will still work conceptually on my piece and maybe try to edit some of our videos to upload for your viewing.<br /><div><div><br /><div><div><div><div><div>i am attempting to create a work that involves three mediums: live music, live dancing, live video feed. (and perhaps pre-recorded video feed, but that isn't for sure yet... nor does it sound so good with the three others in the "live" theme...) i am using one of our spare bedrooms: the space nicknamed, quite appropriately & in honour of some improvisations jasmine and i did in there, the "closet room". the piece will explore social boundaries and reservations, our insecurities and social awkwardnesses. there are so many ways we sensor ourselves - bodies, language, phrasing, what parts of our personalities we deem appropriate to share and what aspects of ourselves we decide are unfit for social interactions. i will be looking at where the roots of these decisions are; when it is the individual who decides they should look and act a certain way, and when the media or our upbringing places these restrictions in our minds, affecting our habits and choices.</div><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEizMItJKTtYE04i_TfKrCGjoJYq7WsqOLCZFLmCclOr6JucK8HZ2kylSUAFiY-S4hBvjtlpxhvwUflMlw7DOa00sptmAwB6_Q_8lf93BiphDjhSvKjjQPrZf4wiMryB0D0nEaQXei9J3d4/s1600-h/merryn+with+boards+9.bmp"></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjBwxCGIFC_zaVnK7tkRuTZ1jKp0SopUzrMyzc9UjicbYna3LTtQnOVshfWtA-lGQUtzy9Z_WoozwA4ODA9APeixa3jYtb2lSbcC8b7vAQkMHKA2sBrFNGcVeUmjR7vIcSOaLKKY9waotk/s1600-h/merryn+with+boards+10.bmp"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5357578488747835042" style="WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 150px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjBwxCGIFC_zaVnK7tkRuTZ1jKp0SopUzrMyzc9UjicbYna3LTtQnOVshfWtA-lGQUtzy9Z_WoozwA4ODA9APeixa3jYtb2lSbcC8b7vAQkMHKA2sBrFNGcVeUmjR7vIcSOaLKKY9waotk/s200/merryn+with+boards+10.bmp" border="0" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgyKfPxvZB9PvhEeqfbhZuv3NUgX-xhsOIkmj3ziIvam95Ck-NoGDjUfw3dGrl_rVXw_yJkHCfP0nWf5bK3yK6a2mgfT3Ck9IjZGukGhkl6N5SjS8-poXVIr2bj9gNAqDl5SUYIdsF7IGI/s1600-h/merryn+with+boards+11.bmp"></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj4zY3TAu9faIPflmBNZSBn7oAcJXClqlQ14ob0oXK4YDz25q2Djm5orMdZtylfdV52SW3MEbcQXZyT6sfjdtTM5qxNFTHbGnGk3HstnG_03dV9VdVDeaHV9fwwfz40yFeZOKySV8Yf8v8/s1600-h/merryn+with+boards+13.bmp"></a> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjsotCeRxG46Yg3-gzQpIx5YrZAnVe-eVM7tLjFpGVggycmW_XDZe07zvwrxU3S-O78iymrm24Obi9DH8u3TV9qURsmwDPmzTXYNKsmbJ4eC3Yb3ImbwPMVWMO8nzeqtmDHPDb2QX3-ngs/s1600-h/merryn+with+boards+20.bmp"></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEidszOjvbZbYDw9V39AvRW7lsVWYcUgaMSncsmJd_1QNQukL9PAOuFPyk3ogzGSSLN_tS7fjx7fihQ7Kt68akud07BnBPtJvQAwbISZAAnWSlVkI_NSKYmLg_fzoe5A7YfyPK_LmkWwCPE/s1600-h/merryn+with+boards+22.bmp"></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEixN_BWF2j3LlJBoWojmEWjdDeDvDOXKvy1kN-bgK6TBK5izWjwIpu8_fJorlvJ3_5-uFv6Bd3ldF2FmFb8BmUm_5jamDWOmJKk5WPncCS_txkcRETeOt-fytQ_vPCog2lpgtjzT-fQqME/s1600-h/merryn+with+boards+18.bmp"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5357579552980918274" style="WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 150px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEixN_BWF2j3LlJBoWojmEWjdDeDvDOXKvy1kN-bgK6TBK5izWjwIpu8_fJorlvJ3_5-uFv6Bd3ldF2FmFb8BmUm_5jamDWOmJKk5WPncCS_txkcRETeOt-fytQ_vPCog2lpgtjzT-fQqME/s200/merryn+with+boards+18.bmp" border="0" /></a> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgsBnaNFqsTtGnibSWaypDsLSvQZcDQQh5SGpALUpPQosLCw3CbvOjscewX0vYq5PN7Cd-ax_UMEa6kGZbfM5a6SGyzYS-QTek6FFutOI5haqvVw0MrCqxDD5MBehhLGsUquBV0U6uTkwI/s1600-h/merryn+with+boards+28.bmp"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5357578068404468290" style="WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 150px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgsBnaNFqsTtGnibSWaypDsLSvQZcDQQh5SGpALUpPQosLCw3CbvOjscewX0vYq5PN7Cd-ax_UMEa6kGZbfM5a6SGyzYS-QTek6FFutOI5haqvVw0MrCqxDD5MBehhLGsUquBV0U6uTkwI/s200/merryn+with+boards+28.bmp" border="0" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh0be5zRMEWd7CmLm3qITAqoPHBHHnjvasRXrYZmAeAzW-MJLNuDosUZO6aEtxxMvO4vGhA7wvVluxjPKN23bFyQ_6yulnriMCO0dgQg9uaaIYEa9P7l4aZlDC9KoA8WVFP5nXpmmbStb4/s1600-h/merryn+with+boards+21.bmp"></a><br /><br /><div>however, on a grey and rainy day like this, all i want to do is curl up by my [non-existent] fireplace and read a good [not that i have one] book and drink tea. well, i managed the tea part!
