I did it. Are you proud of me for soldiering on? I have a lousy cold, got chilled coming home from Athens on Sunday. There was a freezing, rainy night I walked into from a warm greece. Then I got chilled in Greece one night and not enough sleep. They worked me too hard in a short space of time. A public session for 200, a bool launch of The Handbool of Psychodrma published in Greek. Now it is in 4 or 5 languages. I am so proud of that. Then I did 5 individual sessions, a 4 hour demonstration for 200 people, talked about the book before the break, signed many copies and then did a two day training for 15 students with a good translator. Thought I had toi be back in London Sunday night to work Monday in my NHS job with personality disorder and borderlines but I didn't need to do a group on Monday so I slept and caught up on emails. Consequently, in Athens we had tio fit in a 3 hour interview for a major Greek paper, do a photo shoot for two hours and have both the photographer and the journalist at the public session. They loved it and the staff that arranged the P.A. System stayed the 4 hours and werer fascinated. They want ti do another public session in June because the people, new to psychodrama, which was half the audience really loved it and want more. The Sunday paper magazine, which will be out in 15 days or so will do a six page spread of psychodrama, me and the 5 year training programme in Athens, organized by a child psychotherapist, Nena Vlassa who completed her training in Athens with Max Clayton, from Australia. That was a lot to squash into a few days. I got a cold on Monday and slept Monday and Tuesday and had to cancel my Tuesday night psychodrama group because I was so full of cold. There were only two who were coming and they said get better, to me. No probs. I took chinese remedies, homeopathic Gelsemium for flu. And two balls of garlic and parsley in soup. I warned my team that I may not make it in today I felt so awful last night. Miraculously, I got up and felt much better and with some energy. I went in and had the team meetings and did the. Group and them another team meeting. It was an important day. And then I wrote it over for grouptalk with your push. Thanks for that but now I must be my own Mother Teresa and rest. I am sipping Greek brandy and watching the Tele. Tele? Yet again. Can't get away from good old J. L. I remember he used to like your cartoons. Cheers for now. I hope rewriting made it clearer. Love Marcia
