		<title>Best wishes to all bigots</title>
		<description><![CDATA[And there I was as a cosmopolitan woman, not being able to vote in my own country last Wednesday. At the time of registering I lived between three cities London, Prague and a bit of Amsterdam. Somewhere between those cities my registration got lost. I am absolutely devastated.
As on election day I had to stand [...]]]></description>

		<title>Cycling anxiety</title>
		<description><![CDATA[‘Why does a Dutch girl, born and raised in Europe&#8217;s bicycle heaven, take cycling lessons in London? A question Iain Clark, my instructor from cycle2job asks me when he picks me up for my lesson.

		<title>Children deserve a better home</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Boris Johnson always seems a bit daft, but in fact he isn&#8217;t really. He makes a right point today about children living in overcrowded homes who deserve the same attention concerning their welfare as battery chickens get.

&#8220;I applaud the concern [...]]]></description>

		<title>Mayor of Rotterdam in LA Times.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Good story in LA times about the Mayor of Rotterdam, The Netherlands Ahmed Aboutaleb. I like him. I have seen him at work in Amsterdam. And Rotterdam has a special place in my heart because my family lives in Rotterdam.

Reporting from Rotterdam, Netherlands&#8211; The veiled women clutch their children&#8217;s hands as they scurry past the [...]]]></description>

		<title>Julie &amp; Julia and the thirty-something problem</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I have just been to the movie Julie &#38; Julia. A film based on two true stories. One is about the life of Julia Child, an American icon of cooking.

It is a South African movie about an alien space ship that gets stranded above Johannesburg. The South Africans put the aliens in a camp / slum in district 9 outside Johannesburg.

		<title>The taste of freedom</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Shopping is a great exercise and dead simple. You browse, you pick, you pick more and then you buy. Easy peasy if you have learned how to do it. 
Sixteen years ago I went shopping with two girls, one from Estonia and the other from Slovakia. Both countries had just left communism behind and Slovakia was [...]]]></description>

		<title>Sign for change campaign is not waterproof</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The Conservatives want us to join a campaign to force Gordon Brown to call for a general election. The &#8217;sign for change&#8217; campaign is clever but has a slight practical problem: anyone can sign the petition. You just need to write down an address in the UK. I just signed the petition myself and I do  live [...]]]></description>
