A lot was Cache/Hidden in this film. Including the whole point of it. Hidden well, because I couldn’t find it. After 1.5 hour I was wondering if there ever was going to be a point at all. And then the very unsatisfying ending, nah let’s not waste any more words on it, I didn’t like [...]

Alarming I was laying comfortably in my bed. Asleep. Not the deepest of sleeps, but still asleep. I felt that a background process in my brains was nagging me, it was sending some signals to my very sleepy head. I received the signals but since I was asleep still, they failed to trigger any actions. [...]

My head is somewhat full with joyfull things at the moment, which is good, but that means that the words don’t really want to get out right. So in stead of giving you some crapilicious writing, I give you the song I have been trapped in for quite a while now. And if you were [...]

The last few times when I had to decide where to travel to on holiday, I had no idea where to go. So I waited. I waited because I knew that the answer to that luxury question would suddenly present itself somehow and then I would go. That happened about a year ago with Greenland. [...]

Feeding the doves, St. Pauls Cathedral Sometimes I just want to do nothing. Or for the language purists among you : sometimes I just don’t want to do anything. Whichever you like best. Those moments I don’t want to run to another cool art festival or to one of the many museums in London I [...]

Davy Jones So after a visit to the Cafe, the weather being lovely, I went on a walk. Piccadilly Circus, Regent Street, and left into Oxford Street. The last shops were closing after a long and busy day and it was quiet walking here. Until I heard something weird. It sounded like – a voice [...]

New Piccadilly Cafe, Denman St, London W1 The Table in the New Piccadilly Cafe, Denman St, London W1 It was about time. Back in The Cafe. At last. It has been way too long. I went there directly after work, picking up a newspaper to read, on my way.

New Piccadilly Cafe, Denman St, London W1 New Piccadilly Cafe, Denman St, London W1 More and more rumours are going around that the Cafe, yes the one and only THE CAFE, is closing. The owner is facing another raise in rent, and he is not really willing to settle for that, so if things are [...]

“Shall we meet” he said “I’m sure you’ll like me”. “What a confidence” I thought, while trying to imagine what he looked like. He sounded nice, I had to give him that. Nice voice. Delicious London Accent. Should I just …

The fantastic Sultan’s Elephant theatre spectacle will be coming to Antwerp between July 6th and 9th. If you want to experience this forty-foot high mechanical elephant, the little girl, and the time-travelling Sultan , well then you know where to go. I would really really recommend to catch this spectacle. And to all the Dutch [...]

The Salmon of Daoubt – Douglas Adams The Salmon of Doubt is a must read if you are a fan of Douglas Adams. It contains interviews with, and articles written by Douglas Adams, and it gives you quite some personal background about Douglas Adams as a person. It’s difficult to base your opinion on books [...]

I was in a very bad mood, went into the cinema, and came out with a very big smile on my face after seeing Imagine Me & You. This not so typical (but still) rom com turned out to be a real mood booster. No one makes better rom coms than the Brits. And Anthony [...]

A poem about this Big handsome charming London guy …

Karin, from met-k.com has written a very nice review about The Girl In The Cafe (both in English and in Dutch !), which is of course a very nice start of the week for me. “The film moved me and let me think. About life and it’s chance meetings. How people seem to meet and [...]

All pictures are taken today, some of them will soon be available as a Postcard from London. How lucky can you be, living in a city like this. London – you got to love this city

You have to know that all the theatreshows in London are being advertised as “The best show in London” and “Not to be missed” and then the name of a newspaper and the obligatory “*****”. So I went to see Stomp, in the Vaudeville theatre on Strand. Because I like drums and percussion and rhythm, [...]

Well not much at the moment. Or maybe too much. It is funny, this process of writing. I have a long list of things to write about so it’s not that I lack any ideas. I could write about the man in the park, about a funky tower in London, about how I was woken [...]

This was the second time I had problems with my Oyster card. I paid for it on the internet, but somehow that information couldn’t get through to the card itself. Which meant I couldn’t get through the gates of the underground. So I went to the information desk (I am a regular customer there). And [...]

I know I complained about it, but even though the weather was as good as it can be, I stayed inside to watch Holland – Serbia/Monte Negro at 3pm. 3pm UK time that was, which was about an hour too late, so I missed the first half. I keep forgetting that I am living in [...]

Mandir temple, London You have to jump on the tube, and take a long journey North West. You reach areas where the underground changes to overground, and you get off at Stonebridge Park (Bakerloo Line). When you leave the train you can see the impressive Wembley Stadium which is currently being rebuild, and delayed, and [...]
