I go for the royal treatment

August 10th, 2006

You want to go to the cinema. I have 2 offers for you.

A talk with Lorenzo

July 9th, 2006

New Piccadilly Cafe

Today I did speak to Lorenzo, the owner of The New Piccadilly Cafe. The Cafe, my Cafe.
I paid my Minestrone soup, and asked him the question that had been bugging me since the last time I was there.
“Is it true that this Cafe is going to close?”

These are the days

Bill Nighy - King of Coolness - in London

“You might as well eat your lunch” the pirate said to me “’cause it is not going to make any difference anyway. If it doesn’t happen today, it will happen some other day.” He would make sure of that, he promised.
I tried to believe him, and I […]

All I Need

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.

Big Ben - a poem

June 20th, 2006

A poem about this Big handsome charming London guy …

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

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 on […]

Find your shorts

June 7th, 2006

No need to escape to Turkey, Barcelona or Rome. London has it all, even fantastic weather.
And of course we are playing a football pool at work (even though a swimming pool would be more appropriate with this weather). The way we play it here : the 32 teams went in a Bobby hat and […]

Easy like Sunday Morning

London busses are cool

Imagine this : at 5.00 am, when London is quiet and empty and beautifully peaceful, and the sun is about to rise - you are sitting on the first floor of a red doubledecker, in front of the window. This bus takes you on a fantastic ride through slowly awakening London. There […]

Aarhus

I officially passed the 3 months in London border, and to keep it short London is home. I took 2 bags with me when I came here, and all the important and neccesary stuff was in it, carefully selected.
But I am beginning to miss some of the things that didn’t make through the first selection. […]

[Picture on it’s way]
After 2 days of indoor nose blowing, today was the day to get out again. Back to work, and much better, back to London. I missed being in the city, I missed him and him, and the Southbank, and the feeling of just being here. The weather was making the evening close […]

Camden Lock

I never knew London had canals. Not before I moved here at least. They even have a place called Little Venice, which is the place where Grand Union Canal meets the Regents Canal. It is great for walking, because you can walk along the old towpath (from the time they used horses to pull […]

Dinosaur in the Natural History Museum

If you like museums, South Kensington is the place. Here you’ll find the Science Museum, the V&A (design) museum and the Natural History Museum very close to each other. And Kensington Gardens, and Royal Albert Hall are just around the corner too.
If you are a National Geographic reader or Discovery […]

I met up with 2 girls in the Starbucks on Leicester Square, and after some text communication about what we looked like, we found each other. We were going to see Prime. Prime was actually quite fun to watch, a real girls night out film, and if you love films like Love Actually you probably […]

The Playhouse Theatre

I did give the half price booth of TKTS a go again yesterday. I was there on Saturday afternoon around 3pm, and the queue was impressively long. So long that I was in doubt if I wanted to queue at all. But I had my book with me, and the sun was doing […]

The Old Vic

Fall in London is going to be fantastic with Kevin Spacey back on stage in the Old Vic Theatre. Kevin Spacey has just announced The Old Vic’s program, and he is going to play in A Moon for the Misbegotten.

London Live as I know it

Or The Girl Takes Pictures.
The move to London has awakened so many things in my life/head/heart/well you got the idea, and one of them is the pleasure of taking pictures. It’s back, I take loads of pictures at the moment. And just to keep things a little bit seperated, and not to mess […]

The Sultans Elephant

May 6th, 2006

Daydream, I fell asleep amid the flowers, for a couple of hours, on a beautiful day.
“Ok I just landed. See you soon, S. Oh, ehrm … sorry about the road.” text message coming in on my mobile phone.

No post today

May 5th, 2006

Because of high summer temperatures in London, lunchbreak spent on the roof terrace of our office in stead of behind my screen, and because I am now stuffed after we just held a major barbeque lunch outside in the sun - no (decent) post today.
May the weather be as nice over at your place.
And tonight […]
