OK, I will then translate them and send them to you as a whole list - maybe you can use it for your references or just for any future projects/therapies. As I am not at home right now, I can not tell you, what activities they are (I forget everything)... but as soon as I get home, will sign in again and list all my pleasant activites, which (as said before) I have done more spontainously, not planned. Is that OK ?
