Out of the gloom

Today's news is that Britain is officially out of recession and frankly I am already sick with Radio 4 repeating it all day long as well as when they were speading doom and gloom a year ago.

During our casual morning in a local cafe (the one on the other side of the road) while reading their copy of the Guardian I came accross an interview with a theatre director in London who said that one thing he hates about his job is realising that all in all, he earns less than a 19 year old shop assistant.

Ah well, a consolation came from one of my favourite websites (one of the links on the right) with a quote from Christo's biography:

Error: "The easy life of an artist"



Not quite so. Until 2006 Christo was working an average of 17 hours a day – 7 days a week. These days, he works and average of 13 hours a day. Jeanne-Claude is a bit lazier, only 10 hours a day.

They do not take vacations.
