Lawless Heart - a poem

14 reasons to love the London Underground:

If you just missed a train, the next one won’t be far away.
You never really know for sure how the world looks like when you popup above ground again. Life is an adventure.
Yes sure there are delays sometimes. But I have never seen delays being notified so clearly. And […]

I have now become one of the millions of people commuting from and to work in London every day.

Yes, the cinemas on Leicester Square are incredibly expensive. But there is a way around that. Just 50 meters from Leicester Square there is The Prince Charles Cinema. This is an independent cinema and they are showing a lot of independent films, but they also show a lot of blockbusters after they have been running […]

I have only been here (not counting the single week I was here in February) 2 weeks now, but it feels so much longer. Especially the jobsearch - it felt like ages before I actually had success, and it has been stressfull, with sleepless nights and all, but looking back at it, 2 […]

Ok, I was this close to get a very fairy tale ending to my jobhunt but unfortunately .. (happy ending guaranteed though don’t worry)

Whoa-oa-oa! I feel good, I knew that I would, now
I feel good, I knew that I would, now
So good, so good,
I

a
job!
Thanks to everybody who has send me good vibes, because it worked !! I got offered a job today, and am I the most happy person in the Universe at the moment.

As I am actually sitting in the internetcafe on Piccadilly Circus, close to the Cafe. I will try to order a wireless broadband connection as soon as possible this week, I have no idea how long it will take, hopefully not long. The room in Westminster is great, but without a tv and without internet, […]

I had time enough because I learned from previous experiences : don’t overestimate the speed of the tube.

The phone on Monday.
“Ingrid, erhm, welcome to London …”. That voice.

Some absolutely worthless information about London.

There is both a Denmark Hill and a Holland Park in London
It is absolutely impossible to find a garbage bin on any of the big train/underground stations (terror fear)
The “One sexual reference” warning on the filmlisting for The Weather Man is just way cute. I have been watching the film […]

If you are sick and tired of reading about London already : you can skip the rest of this post.

The beauty in our London Skies,
You know the sunlight always shines,
Behind the clouds of London Skies.

The Girl In The National Portrait Gallery
Even though I am still not relaxed enough to really enjoy London, I did visit the first item on my to-see list : The National Portrait Gallery.
Now 2 cool things about London to begin with :
many museums are open until 21.00 Thursdays and Fridays
and really a lot of museums […]

And he said “Oh welcome back!”.
“Well, thank You very much, it’s nice to be back ! And this time I will stay in London”.
“Oh yeah, you were the Danish girl right ?”.
“Well, the Dutch girl from Denmark, yes indeed”.
“I remember” he said, “the European girl !”.
“Yes”, I said smiling at him (and quite impressed) “that’s […]

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 in snow
A chapter […]

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 no idea yet.
But as […]

“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 will !”
Bugger ! […]

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 (!) while thinking we […]
