Love Sneakers

It’s true. Girls buy new shoes when they have an off day. I am no exception. And how appropiate are these, actually?
If that photo looks like I am skydiving, I am. It’s very good for inspiration. And yes that are my shoes and jeans.
Have a good weekend. If you are looking for me - [...]

Love Seaweed actually

After five and a half week I got the results of my operation today, it’s good news I am fine. And relieved. And after having it nagging about in the back of my head for that long it might take a while before I get used to not worrying about it anymore. [...]

Portland Bill

I think it is fair to conclude that the English south coast is beautiful no matter where you go. The same goes for the light houses!

Love Lane, Peel

Some random stuff, mostly movies related.

I am really sorry for the delay, but the this-is-not-a-christmascard-but-a-card-on-the-theme-of-love-actually gallery has been updated with the latest received cards.
It is amazing to see how much work people have put into it, most of them are hand made and they are all very different! Thank you all so much for sending them! There are 2 [...]

I love pancakes

I love pancakes
I really do. Those ones have been indulged in Big Daddy’s in New York, a fantastic 60’s style cafe close to Union scare. And no I couldn’t help myself with the maple syrup indeed. This was my breakfast.
Yesterday night we have cut a first rough (very rough!) edit of our 60 [...]

Room is declutterized and looks about twice the size now. I should do this more often.
This morning the postman delivered 2 more cards in my mailbox. I had some time to photograph them and to add them to the gallery.
May I present you:
Imagine Love, Actually
Love and Bill, Actually
Love Actually, in a stitch
Love lifts us up
Love [...]

Love is all around my keyboard

I posted another song from the Love Actually soundtrack in this post. I love this version and was shocked to read that Lynden David Hall, who also performed the song in the film, died in 2006 of cancer at the age of 31.

Today’s card (I am not cheating, they [...]

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 [...]

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. [...]

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.

Love in London

This is London
Here is one of the lovely songs from the soundtrack of the great Dan in real life. The whole soundtrack has been created especially for this film by Norwegian singer-songwriter Sondre Leche. And I think he has done a marvelous job, the songs integrate perfectly with the film.
Too late …
Trailer is [...]

Love actually on his back

On learning new words and expressions, finding love on a stranger, and a random act of kindness.

Love ain’t cheap

On Portobello Road it costs £199.99.

Love Actually, in a box

I was wandering around the market on Portobello Road again. Mainly because it was lunch time and the weather is so nice at the moment, but also because I was trying to get some pictures of the market for Kate, as she asked for it a while ago (and I am [...]

Love Actually, in a tree

Love Actually, in a tree on the heath
They still exist, the true romantics.
“Ah love, a dreaded bond, yet so easily severed …”
And then there are those that are more sceptical.
This picture is taken on Hampstead Heath, and I expect the carvings to be several years old.
Did they live happily ever after [...]

Love Actually - in a cake

I could also have called it:
Not a bad way to start your day II.
Or - I missed my breakfast this morning, but someone brought this cake in!
Or - would you like tea with that?

Love, New York

New York, 55th Street

Some words from the guru

Good words from screen writing Guru Richard Curtis.
I thought 6 days and nights on a train, think about the huge amount of time I will have to write. Well I did write a bit here and there, but not the stuff I was supposed to. How could I, I was sharing [...]
