20 December 1996
FEEDBACK Dear Diana, Yesterday I noticed two red cars before
my house. Sometimes I attribute significance to the codes of the
number plates. HP-DS-33 means to me
Haagse Post - Diana Spencer - crisis.
When the car with this number appears I think there may be a crisis
in the Royal Palace in the Hague. Sometimes the car with that
number appears in my street and belongs to the firebrigade. So
it did yesterday. A moment later arrived a red car with the number
GR-BD-98. This means to me GReat Britain Diana 1998 and I think it is a
forecast of something we have to celebrate in 1998.
This afternoon I saw the film Evita. Very
inspiring. In my vision I see you and me in the year 1998 on
the balcony of the Presidential
Palace of Buenos Aires in Argentina,
where you already once have been. I think that process can be
continued. I saw the musical for the first time in your Prince of Wales Theatre. The year 1997 will be the year of the building
of the new organization Instituto
Cervantes Benelux
and United
Kingdom. I will adapt my business plan to that new situation
and request the support of the task force Spanish in Education, Research and Management of the University
of Nijmegen to carry out the plans in
the Benelux. Afterwards I will come to Britain to build the organization
in your country and I hope to have the occasion to visit St. James's Palace
sometimes. Considering the circumstances not to be able to come
to London this Christmas I greatfully accept your invitation to
spend Christmas in Het Stadhouderlijk
Hof in Leeuwarden hoping to meet there some new friends. I
will go to Leeuwarden on Christmas
Eve being aware that from that moment
on I will be in debt with you. But I think the investment will
be very worthwhile.
