The cards are on their way

They are on their way …
See that picture?
Well I shed a tear when I left them in the red mailbox on Broadway (London, SW1) this morning because they were good company, but hearing the amount of giggles that came out of the mailbox I know they look forward to travel […]

Our short short (which really is very short!), which is called Persuaded and which is made for the Sky Greenshoot competition is now viewable online. The Sky Greenshoot competition is a competition where you have to make a one minute short film on the theme of Global Warming.
You can watch Persuaded here. (be sure to […]

Times Square, New York - drawing with light

Times Square, New York - drawing with light
I have had a lot of silly ideas throughout the years but having people send me cards on the “Love Actually” theme is definitely one of the best ones ever. When I came home yesterday I found two more cards and […]

Know your lines

London has quotes from Love Actually posted at Tube Stations!
On Saturday I spent an hour or two at an information meeting for the volunteering work I will do at Christmas. I might write a bit more about that later this week.
I had another meeting for the December short film but things are not […]

Nelson and Horse

Yeah, the title, I know you are getting tired of it, but don’t worry, I’ll behave. I need to tell you something.

So if you really love christmas

So if you really love Christmas
It’s the week of unusual encounters with people I have never met before. Unusual encounters are good.
I am about to go for a tea near Notting Hill Gate tube station with someone who is as, ehrm, how to put this, who likes Bill Nighy. A […]

Xmas lights Regent Street

Xmas lights Regent Street, they change colour depending on how many people walk around in the street
My office is deserted, I am the only person here guarding the phone, knowing that it won’t ring.
It is cold outside, and in the office, and I am freezing my fingers.
Beside me waits the “You’ve got […]

Birthday Bill

I want to be just as silly as him when I am 58.
Handsome. Funny. Intelligent. What a man.
Happy Birthday to Bill.
And happy birthday to Jill, who also has her birthday today, and who chose to celebrate it in London. We drank tea (the milky way) yesterday and it was a pleasure to meet her. […]

Big Bill on Leicester Square

Big Bill
Look who I ran into yesterday, on my way home from a weekend in screen writing class. I felt like my brain had been in the toaster for 2 days, was completely knackered, and needed some fresh air so I decided to walk a part of my journey home. I […]

Smooth Car

Smooth car in New York

Bloglily wanted my plan on how to get through December. While for most people December seems to be the time of racing around, stressed, buying presents and generally getting into the mood for Christmas - I try to not get too depressed.
I find December normally a tough time to […]

Post No Bils in New York

When trying to sleep last night I was rethinking my previous post and thought - when are you actually gonna grow up (because I really did shout “yes” in the tube and people did look weird at me) .
I couldn’t come up with an answer, I just thought and realized […]

Remember the post I just wrote with the pathetic:
“I will soon make and publish my plan on how I will try to survive the rest of December being a person who hates Xmas.”
Forget it. That problem has solved itself already.
Remember what I wrote about Richard Curtis?

NYC cab

My 92 pages of script are send to my tutor, and this coming weekend the verdict will fall. Be prepared is what I’d say. And that’s mostly to myself. I am going to contact some friendly people for a read soon as that worked extremely well last time.
Oh, oh - I put the word […]

I heart you

When I read Cockie’s post this morning (she left something nice (chocolate frogs and mice) for the builders who are working on her house) I suddenly remembered that I had to post this picture.

Insert Bills face up

When you are hit by a writers block, you can always post a silly picture and pretend that the last drop of creativity has not been squeezed out of your brain. I don’t know where it went, my creativity, but it is not in my head at the moment.
And the above picture: […]

The Man Of Your Dreams

When I walked home Tuesday with 2 orange Sainsbury’s bags filled with eatables, I happened to bump into The British Fashion awards ceremony which was held in Lawrence Hall, Horticultural Halls in London.
Lawrence Hall, got that? It is just around the corner from where I live. it’s good to live […]

I have designed my “this is not a xmas card” card and I am quite pleased with the result, it is very colourful. They are ordered and should be with me between now and 3 weeks. This means that they probably won’t be with you before Xmas, but hey, it is not an xmas card […]

He’s back

I attended a Bafta screen writing session yesterday, so this post is about all the above, a lot about screen writing and film making too, and about the homecoming of Davy. Don’t say I didn’t warn you.

Who is it?

When I was doing the Roosevelt Island aerial tram, I took some pictures while looking down. My idea was to take some of the yellow New York taxis, and I did while hovering over them, and on one of them this bloke walked into my picture.
Again, I didn’t notice anything at the time, […]

A good quote

New York wisdom
No I am not American. And one day to say thank you a year is not enough for me. I say thanks a lot. I said thank you a lot today.
So what did I do all weekend? I sat inside. And worked hard.
And …
