Polish author jailed over killing he used as plot
A Polish pulp fiction writer was sentenced to 25 years in jail yesterday for his role in a grisly case of abduction, torture and murder, a crime that he then used for the plot of a bestselling thriller.
The real story sounds way more intriguing than the fictional one he wrote. And if it weren’t real it would almost be hard to believe. And anyhow, how stupid was this guy to think he could get away with it, that nobody would clue in?

Hmmm … I’d have thought a ‘true artist’ would get a higher score.

Hi ho, hi ho . . . 
It actually feels okay going back to work – especially as I don’t have any classes until tomorrow 😉 . But today is still a ‘work day’ as I got up at 7 o’clock and went to yoga class and the rest of the day will be spent organising the spare room for teaching.
And this evening we’re going out to a job interview. In fact, if all goes well Nog may be offered two jobs in a village just outside Sevilla, which would be fabulous (and also make the trip out there worthwhile). We’re just waiting to hear back from the first job to find out if it’s going to start in October as planned and then go to the interview for the second one – I’ll be tagging along as ‘the translator’. So fingers crossed that it all works out because it would be a great opportunity for Nog.
Otherwise and that, it’s just nice to be getting into a different routine. And I got some wonderful news yesterday – two very dear friends will be visiting in October, so that makes me very happy and gives me something to look forward to. And so … no post-holiday blues for me. 🙂
