Recognize this?

If we took a holiday. Took some time to celebrate.
Just one day out of life. It would be, it would be so nice.
Holiday!

Well yes, finally off for 2 weeks and intending to make the most of them now that the weather is back to normal!

On the list of things to do:

• Read a few good summer books (any recommendations welcome, just finished The Da Vinci Code. Fun! Have just started the lastest Kay Scarpetta novel: Blow Fly. I am sure I can handle a few more!
• Hike a little (most likely won't be able to join Manue on the Via-Alpina, the Jura will have to do)
• Enjoy the lake at the Bains des Pâquis
• Go watch some wheelchair tennis (Swiss Open runs from Tuesday 3 to Sunday 8 August in Geneva). A demo in town will take place on Tuesday
• Celebrate my birthday with a concert and picnic in the parc on Friday 13 August. More news soon!

and if the weather goes back to cold and rainy:

• Fix my books and music blogs
• Visit a few museums

The Homeless World Cup Cameroon team needs you!

All the teams who can make it to this year's Homeless World Cup are organised, except one - Cameroon. They are really toiling to raise the cash for the airfare. It's a real shame because they have put so much effort into their training and their preparation. They really want to come. The round trip is going to cost about 10K € for transport and visas, so here's the plan: if 20 people/companies put up 500 € each then we can get them there. So far, 4 people have given 500 €, so there's only 16 to go.

What about you or friends, colleagues or even your company? Go on, Cameroon will love you forever, and it will make a huge difference to their lives. Do hope you can help.

All donations, even if it's not the full 500 € suggested above, will help!
