Quote of the Day

“Be who you are and say what you feel because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind.” - Dr Seuss

"You are many - they are few."

“Rise like Lions after slumber
In unvanquishable number -
Shake your chains to earth like dew
Which in sleep had fallen on you -
Ye are many – they are few.’

- Percy Bysshe Shelley

S.O.S Richi!

Richi with his superman costume!

Hello EVERYONE! We are organising a fundraising, beneficiary concert/event with Palafrugell La Vinacoteca on the 27th July 2012 (Details to follow) in order to help Richi, a 6 year old boy, from Catalonia who suffers from a medulloblastoma, a very aggressive cancer that requires highly specialized treatment.

Even if you aren't in this area and can't come for this event, we would appreciate it if you could perhaps take the time to 'like' the facebook page of Richi -

as well as looking at his website:

in order to spread the news of this cause as well as get some publicity with regards to the events which may lead to more donations. If you could even donate a few pounds/dollars/euros that would be much appreciated and if you can't, you could just help by perhaps sharing this update or taking some time to 'like' his facebook page.

Details of the event will follow, but it includes: live music (including me!), DJ's, Mediterranean tapas, selling of jewellery and drawings as well as a cocktail competition! There has been a lot of solidarity in the towns in the Costa Brava for Richi and I hope perhaps we can get more support. Thanks for taking the time to read this!

All Quiet on the Western Front

I recommend reading a review of All Quiet on the Western Front (Erich Maria Remarque) by my friend Chandrika. She discusses the intricacies and complexities of coming to terms with war if you have never been a part of it.
