The Police in Hyde park That was it then, but it could not have been better weather for it. The Police played their final UK concert ever in Hyde Park yesterday, and according to the number of people wearing Police t-shirts a lots of their fans met up to say goodbye to them. It was [...]

My journey to work Random things about a randomly picked subject. Today: transport in London. And some fess up Friday too.

Funky pebble Does this pebble look like a face to you too? And just in case the “mood of growing satisfying climax” made you wonder what sort of books I read – that’s a completely innocent Wallander thriller.

Goodbye to Denmark

June 22nd, 2008

On Friday I stepped on the plane to Aarhus, 24 hours later I was back in London. This was a final visit to clean up the 12 boxes of Danish life I still had left there. After not having seen their content for 2 years now, it was time to sort it out and move [...]

Bond in 60 seconds

June 19th, 2008

OK, do you remember I worked on a short film this spring? And do you also remember that you still had not seen the result of that hard work? Well the wait is over! May I present to you: James Bond in 60 Seconds! No it does not have Daniel Craig. But it has a [...]

Two “look at me I am cool” wannabees: Man (American, older, sunglasses, hair that does not suit his age) to woman (American, younger, blond, but quite unlike Paris Hilton): Well, hello are you here! (yes of course she is here moron, you can see here can’t you!) Woman: Yes! Are you here too? (Duh!! Well [...]

Red iPod “List seven songs you are into right now. No matter what the genre, whether they have words, or even if they’re not any good, but they must be songs you’re really enjoying now, shaping your spring. Post these instructions in your blog along with your 7 songs. Then tag 7 other people to [...]

Fess up Friday plus four

June 13th, 2008

Procrastination OK first the fess up part of this post: Well at least I made a postcard! And on this postcard I wrote a couple of words! Does that count? I hope so. To my defence I can say that at least I have opened the script in Final Draft and looked at it. I [...]

Caramel Something as unusual as a Lebanese Rom-com. IMDB quotes it as a oriental “Sex in the City”. I wouldn’t go that far, but the 4 women who work in the hairdresser, which is the centre of the film, are as different as the SATC women, and their problems are universal. It’s a great film, [...]

Stop Shopping …

June 11th, 2008

Stop Shopping I should have remembered this when I went shopping yesterday. While I took a pack of Apple Juice from the fridge, 5 other packs from different shelves (shelves I did not even touch!) somehow jumped at me too. Some ended on the floor, others started off domino effects on other shelves, in other [...]

Ciao

Ciao Some days I feel very Dutch all of a sudden …

UK Coast: Bognor Regis

June 9th, 2008

Manx sheep – who are you looking at? I went to Bognor Regis, and I had a good day. Bognor Regis is much smaller and therefore much less touristy than Brighton. The weather was marvellous, and I haven’t done much more than walk to a nearly empty piece of the pebbled beach, sit/lay down, stare [...]

I saw this over at Bloglily, and also on The Public, the Private and Everything In Between. And I have decided to join. It’s an idea from the literate kitten and the idea is that you every Friday will have to confess why, in my case that is, I again haven’t done any writing. And [...]

Somewhere under the rainbow It has been a while, but she is back. The view from there is pretty amazing, she said. And yes you can send her.

Bring on the night

June 4th, 2008

The Police and full supporting Bill In September 2007 I saw the Police in Twickenham, with a delay of about 25 years. It was a fantastic concert. My good friend made me aware of the fact that The Police is playing their final ever gig in Hyde Park on the 29th of June. The very [...]

LOVE – the musical I can’t remember how I stumbled upon this, but I blindly bought a ticket on the title and poster alone. No regrets about that I can say. Yesterday I saw Love – the Musical. And how refreshing to watch actors that are passed 60 and I think, without insulting any of [...]
