its all over!

i give up!...throw my towel in!!...life has finaly overtaken me n this blogging thing is just too slow to keep up. the last four weeks have been tumultuous (to put it mildly)...my laptop bag with laptop, ipod, cash AND passport was stolen at brussels stn. the day after i got back from france, my bro-in-law was admitted to hospital and is critical in the ICU with acute pancreatitus...don't know where to start...
