Hello London I could bore you with loads of things that happened today, but I am so tired that you have to do with this pathetic poem I wrote in the plane flying from a very snowy Aarhus in Denmark (which gave an hour delay) to London. The plane speeds up And it ascends Aarhus [...]

Nice title eh ? The girl leaving Aarhus, and Denmark, well that’s me. In about 13 hours from now. And you can probably find me in The Cafe in London somewhere this week. The other girl though, has just left woordenaar, and she is on her way to Jane in ?rhus ! I love the [...]

Closure on one front. My appartment is now completely empty, and I don’t have to return there anymore. Which is a very nice feeling. But one of the rules of moving is that if you think you are completely ready, you check all your drawers a last time and you will always find stuff you [...]

I moved out today. I am now an official tourist in my own city. I can’t believe that I didn’t came up with this idea myself. But sleeping in my nearly empty flat (there are only boxes left now) without any lights, well suddenly that was just too much after a weekend of stair descending [...]

I deserve a short break. I have just delivered 4 monster bags full of clothes to the Danish Red Cross, and the most amazing thing is that all my clothes now fit in three (rather big but still!) bags. One of them goes with me to London, the other two have to wait a bit. [...]

I am participating in this game. Every day someone comes knocking at my door to get something from my flat. So my tv has been picked up, and the most of my lamps. So I am using my christmas lights (I feel it in my fingers …) again for a while, until I have to [...]

Steffen Brandt – check his cool TinTin rocket on his keyboard … I have been thinking about what I am really going to miss about Denmark. That list is very short actually, which is only convincing me that this is the right thing to do. Here is the list: tv-2 concerts. Now I know that [...]

to go to my very last tv-2 concert tonight ? Well it’s heartbreaking. And tonight I am not going to sell t-shirts, I will stand before the stage for a last time, and sing along with the songs I know so well. And listen to the lyrics that have been a big part of my [...]

It has been ordered, the ticket. For the 28th of February, ?rhus – London at 10.20 am from ?rhus with Ryanair. A one way ticket. Which is a weird feeling. As if there is no turning back. Which is good, because I don’t want to turn back. Which direction I have to go, I have [...]

The Girl In The Cafe has now arrived at Woordenaar Anne has seen the movie, and she wrote the following review: Okay, I have to admit I wasn’t completely objective about this movie. Being a fan of BBC productions, accents, movies like’ Lost in Translation’ and… Bill. Add the enthusiasm of Ingrid and what do [...]

“Hello Ingrid, this job you applied for, when can you start ?” “Uhm well I am in Denmark this week, but will be back in London next Tuesday. I can start on Wednesday” “Oh, that’s a pity ! I need someone from this week. But call me when you are back in London.” Grrrrrrrrrrrrr … [...]

I just might be the girl Who, one bright summerday Sits opposite of you In my fav’rite cafe I’m waiting for you here Behind the yellow table The seats are lovin’ red The waiter’s hands are stable I’m reading or just stare And drink a lot of tea I hope that you one day Will [...]

I have no idea what it is about, because it is part 3 out of 5 of some BBC radioplay. But oh, oh, oh, oh, oh – that voice. And I am not the only one: “Close your eyes and just breathe in that voice – it’s the aural equivalent of eating dark chocolate truffles [...]

I am the first one to admit that it has been a tough week. But on the other hand, one can’t expect to have everything in place in a week either. I am not looking forward to return to Denmark at all, but I have to (I am all packed and ready to leave Woodgreen [...]

Big Ben, the Thames The busses red the language not my own I mind the gap I’m driving left the streets not yet well known the Union Jack the view from Tate and Spacey on his throne I feel alive not underground I love the London tone

Piccadilly Circus I’ll show you, in 5 simple steps: Take the wrong side of the stairs all the time, and be a ghostwalker, annoying as many people as possible. (I’m sorry I really try to remember it, but there is so much to remember) Accidently follow 2 (theatregroup)guys all the way into the mens room [...]

Viktorrrrr … Underworld Evolution Why you might want to see it: Lots of vampires drinking blood Lots of people-become-a-werewolf scenes Kate Beckinsale in a latex suit Scot Speedman as a werewolf And seriously beautiful colours, very blueish.

Chinatown, obviously Yesterday I went to join the theatre group for the first time. It was nice to meet some new people. And it is going to be exiting to see what will come out of it. There certainly are some talented people in the group, and it is a very creative and inspiring group [...]

Well now, don’t think that there isn’t anything happening on the romantic front. There is. There has been love flowering by the counter for people with under 5 items. And I actually already found a very nice Londoner. And he loves me, unconditionally. I am a bit overwhelmed by his attention, I am not used [...]

The Odeon West End cinema, Leicester square, London – fanatical about film (and so am I) Exactly how romantic is it to eat at Burger King on Valentine’s Day. Well at least BK had the best Valentine’s Day slogan I have read today: On the menu of life, you are the today’s special. And tomorrow. [...]
