Good times
Joelle and I
And also for this year my vacations are finished. Many people I've met on the way … some were already friends, some were new 
.
I could write for hours trying to tell you who I meet and where I was, but, as you probably know I'm not good in telling stories.
So just wanna say thanks to : Jan, Rebekka, Bugo, Vale, Gio, Anca (even if it didn't work), Joelle and all the people at the NEVA meeting, Linnea, Kenneth and all the Tjärnkvist family, Karsten, Liga, the lovely people in Ultervattnet, the backpackers at the Sunflower Hostel, Adam and of course to Swedish Police
Due I didn't have a camera with me there are no pictures of the vacations, except for this one …
Finally ! What you see is what you mean
I was looking for a good and clean editor for one of my customers, and I end up to WYMeditor !
That's the way I like, that's the way I meant !

A night at Blue Note
Gream Flower
On the pic you can see Greame, a friend of my mate Ludovica. He was playing yesterday at the Blue Note here in Milano in the band of Kyle Eastwood.
That's why me, Ludo and 2 more friends were there.
Greame is a nice and really easygoing guy, you can get a more info about him here.
He said that he is coming back to Milano for Xmas … let's wait and see …
Well, once more, thank you Greame for the free tickets !
