The last weeks- since the last entry – passed like a fly. Not much time to do anything, really, just today it seems like the first day to relax. It is Easter Monday today, the clock has now been forwarded to British Summer Time and it is rainy as ever. I had lots of visitors the last weeks, which is and was fun, but I did not really get to do my “homework” or “housework” as such. Noam Chomsky was in Edinburgh on Tuesday, but I could not make it, am still editing on the video. I released now the first alpha version and screen it to people to get some more proposals and creativity on how to make it better, and after a pile of suggestions will try to do some more work on it.

I am so in stress. There is so much to do and I just don’t seem to be able to cope with all and everything. The video about “Women Vs. G8” I have been editing the whole week, and last week, and it is still not finished. There was an article in the Scotsman slagging of the group and everybody really should write a complaint about this article, if there is enough time, because this journalist tried very hard to misrepresent and create negative feelings towards the different groups of protesters and particularly also against the “Women Vs. G8” group, trying to sell the group as a whole of sexual unfulfilled lesbians taking over the Christians Women centre.

Just returned from my trip to Germany, It was big fun as usual. Every time I go to Germany I want to stay there. Though at the moment, it seems that the situation is not that good than last time: the unemployment rate is now the highest in Germany since the end of the second world war, more people live in poverty than ever in Germany, especially single mums, and the gap between the rich and the poor has widened again tremendously with the richest people being richer than ever before. The new legislation has affected lots of unemployed by being driven into 1 Euro jobs to get their dole, the benefits have been lowered (or the conditions for getting benefits have been made more difficult, whichever way you look at it), and a visit to the doctor and drugs now are dependent on contributions.

Am editing now the new video project. Am pretty tired, lots to do. Women meeting the last weekend, and projects coming up for International Women’s Day, too. The book project is draining along, lots of guests are coming, most of them whilst I am away, and on Sunday I had one of the worst headaches in my life, it felt like its possible to die from it. Last week I was sick for several days with a horrible stomach bug. It has been snowing here a little bit, though there is hardly any snow left now.

Have enquired about the prices of getting the book reprinted, about a hundred copies cost about a 1000 pounds, about five hundred cost about 2500 pounds, and I am pretty confident that this is a good quote, and the finished books would be of the most excellent of quality. But now I understand why there are so many more people wanting to get their books published by somebody rather than doing it themselves. At this point it seems to be pretty important to consider the amount of books worth printing and if to go in partnership with other people and enterprises in this area, and also to consider carefully if this book is really worth putting so much money in, especially – well – especially as it is not per se an anarchist or libertarian book, which loosing money with is not that much of a disillusion cause the soul is refreshed.
