Hi Jerome

I`m sitting here in my new apartment – total mess yet – and preparing for next week`s classes. Last week I told my students to submit their projects per e-mail (the projects involve photos as well as text). Today is the deadline and so every other minute another piece of art drops in:-)

As I`m writing these lines and hoping for some additional days of sunlight in order for our plants (in a garden in Lucerne) to grow a couple more chilies before the frost, a butterfly comes by for a visit. I managed to videotape it for a few seconds and then the camera died…

Preparing classes and whishing the weekend lasted a little longer – typical Sunday afternoon.

Cheers, Marc
