Limi

Allt blir så hektiskt när man är i Båstad. Man ska hinna med kontoret, familjen, som är rätt stor på dessa breddgrader.
Speciellt den här veckan då allt ska koordineras inför vår skidvecka
Ettan kom från Marbella igår, tvåan är här sowieso, när hon inte flyger o far. Trean har just kvicknat till efter en ordentlig influensa. - Så kan det gå när man "glömt" vaccinera sej.
Fyran konstaterade att pjäxorna krympt sen förra säsongen. Blev en sväng till Stadium i Helsingborg. Femman stackarn får alltid ärva. Finns en hel del överskottsmaterial som passar. Hon är inte så kräsen heller.
Sexan, dvs lilla m, hämtades idag på Sturup tillsammans med stora M. Imorgon blir det CPH igen. Kusin R kommer från Tallinn. Då är vi fulltaliga. Tur att vi har mycket plats här på Köttfärsgatan. Nio sängplatser har vi utan att ens nyttja soffor o annat. Står tomt för det mesta, men i såna här lägen är det praktiskt :-)
Hämtar vår hyrda minibuss i morgon på vägen tillbaka. Sen packa all utrustning. Tidig kväll, o så söderöver tiiidigt lördag. Sådär vid fyra-snåret lär det bli.

The Story;

(CNN) -- Bulgaria is a Turkish toilet, France is always on strike, Romania is a vampire theme-park and the UK... Well the UK doesn't exist.

The piece "Entropa" shows Romania as a giant Dracula-inspired theme park.

That's the view of the European Union according to a controversial art installation by Czech artist David Cerny, commissioned by his government to mark its six-month presidency of the pan-continental body.

The work, "Entropa," frames various representations of each member state as components of a giant multimedia model kit.

But the piece, scheduled to have its official unveiling Thursday at the EU headquarters in Brussels, has sparked and an offence to [our] national dignity."

Bulgaria is not the only nation to suffer an unflattering depiction.

Germany is criss-crossed by a series of autobahns in what some critics say is a close approximation of a swastika; Spain is a giant construction site in a dig at its building boom; and Luxembourg is a gold covered nugget sporting a "For Sale" sign.

The Netherlands is depicted as a submerged land with only minarets peeking through the waves in an apparent reference to its religious tensions.

Poland recreates the WWII flag-raising at Iwo Jima, only with the U.S. Marines and the Stars and Stripes replaced with Catholic clergy brandishing the multi-colored gay pride flag.

The UK is absent from the work -- possibly because of its on-off relationship with the rest of the continent.

The Czech government said in a statement on its presidency Web site Tuesday that the original brief was for the work to be created by 27 artists representing all EU Member States -- and that it was "unpleasantly surprised" to learn that this was not the case.

"David Cerny bears full responsibility for not fulfilling his assignment and promise," said Alexandr Vondra, Deputy Prime Minister. "In this situation we are now considering further steps. The government said it will issue a further statement Thursday.

The comments were in contrast to a statement issued by Vondra Monday, when he said that "sculpture, and art more generally, can speak where words fail. I am confident in Europe's open mind and capacity to appreciate such a project."

Cerny is no stranger to controversy. In 1991 he was arrested after painting pink a Soviet tank that served as a Prague war memorial.

His Web site shows other examples of his work, including previous kit-style installations entitled "Jesus Christ" and "Dead Raped Woman"; and a life-size bronze fountain that depicts two men standing opposite each other, urinating.

Cerny, and his main collaborators Kristof Kintera and Tomas Pospiszyl apologized to Czech Prime Minister Mirek Topolanek and other government ministers Tuesday, according to a statement on the artist's Web site, for " not having informed them about what is true and for having misled them.

The statement adds that Cerny and his colleagues initially wanted to use 27 European artists for "Entropa", but fell short due to lack of time and money. Instead, they say, they decided to create fictional artists, some of whom have even been given their own Web sites.

Cerny says he knew the truth would eventually come out but adds: "We believe that the environment of Brussels is capable of ironic self-reflection, we believe in the sense of humor of European nations and their representatives."

En av anledningarna till att jag inte bloggat i helgen va att jag gjorde ett kollage, eller mera ett bildspel över lilla m s första år här på klotet. Dock inte lätt att lägga ut det på nätet. YouTube säger att filmen är för lång. Ej tillåten. Men när jag kollade i morse så ligger filmen om man loggar in på sitt konto. Däremot är den inte "nåbar" via embed eller sökning. Verkar nästan som en liten (bra i det här fallet) bugg i systemet.

Tror att alla som vill kan komma åt den på följande lännk: (måste dock varna nervösa tittare att den är låååång...)
