Melodi Grand Prix / Eurovision Song Contest



Two weeks ago K, a friend of hers and I went to see the Norwegian finale of “Melodi Grand Prix” which it is named in Norway.

The winner was multitalented Guri Schanke. She is to represent Norway in the Eurovision Song Contest in Helsinki, Finland in May.

Friday afternoon

I’ve been having a cold for almost three weeks now, and sitting in front of the computer has not been on my top ten list. I still have some problems with pressure in my right ear, and I am not allowed to fly – or rather - to pilot an aircraft.

I start my vacation tomorrow. I had first planned to go to Brazil with Kristine, but then our guide could not make it – so we changed our plans to Thailand. But then yesterday there came a warning from the Thai authorities of possible bomb attacks, so I guess we shall not be going there either.

Now I am looking at Florida. I have never been there before – so I guess it will be a nice experience.

But still a couple of more days before I go – so still time to make changes...

Medecins Sans Frontiers / Doctors Without Borders



MSF is an independent international medical humanitarian organization that delivers emergency aid to people affected by armed conflict, epidemics, natural or man-made disasters, or exclusion from health care in more than 70 countries.

MSF is often one of the first humanitarian organizations to arrive at the scene of an emergency.

Nearly 80 % of MSFs operating founds come from the general public.

It is part of MSF's work to address any violations of basic human rights encountered by field teams, violations perpetrated or sustained by political actors.

At the moment you can sign up at their web site trying to get Novartis Pharmaceutical Company to drop a lawsuit against the Indian government which, if won, cold have millions of people around the globe loose their source of affordable medicines.
