So busy, last days of work, planning our move, trying to find new tenants for the flat and and and.

Did you know that Alaska means ""That which the sea breaks against" ?
Very nice.

I know this because last week I did read a book called "Looking for Alaska". In this case Alaska is actually a girl. A girl the main character of the book falls in love with. Turned out quite sad for him - she "might have loved you back but can't due to deadness".
Glad that this never happened to me. Loosing my dad when I was 18 was painful enough. It is always hard for those who stay behind.
