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

I’m lovin’ it
If you happen to live in Denmark, and you do visit McDonalds somewhere the coming period, you might meet The Girl there. Not that I recommend you to eat there too often, but the 2 first The Girl cards should be available in McDonalds restaurants in Denmark. They will also appear in cafe’s soon.
If anyone spots any of my cards on a go card stand, I would be grateful to hear from you! A picture of it would be even cooler !
The Girl in the Mc Donald’s, I’m lovin’ it …
Things you might or might not know
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 closely, but what do they mean “sexual reference” – was it were Nicolas Cage said “fuck” ? Or what ?
- And so is the overprotectiveness everywhere.
“Ladies and Gentlemen, because of the weather conditions (it rained), the floor in Victoria Station might be wet and slippery. Please be careful”. - “Be vigilant and alert. Report anything suspicious to a member of the railway staff”
- Unexpectedly I passed the “Home of Chrystal Palace Football Club” today. “100 years of Passion & Pride”. A big smile on my face ’cause I know who’s a very big Chrystal Palace fan.
- The Big Ben is not really the Big Ben. The tower itself is just called The Clock Tower. It is only one of the bells inside the clock tower that is called Big Ben.
I’m off to my theatre group.
A week in London – a wrapup
The Milleniumbridge with St. Pauls Cathedral in the background
If you are sick and tired of reading about London already : you can skip the rest of this post.

Will you let me romanticize
The beauty in our London Skies,
You know the sunlight always shines,
Behind the clouds of London Skies.
The National Portrait Gallery
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 have free entry! (how fantastic is that!)
So I felt like seeing something else than my computer for a while, jumped on the Piccadilly Line, jumped off on Leicester Square and walked the 200 meter from there to the NPG.

I rule …
Now which one do you think is Bill the Cat ? :-) The other one is Harry by the way.
And yes that once was my bed, for a very short period. But at night, when it is stinking freezing cold, nearly too cold to sleep, he is nowhere to be found. Where are men when you need them …
Welcome back
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 what I like about London, the mixture of cultures, all the different languages”.
And he said “Yes that is a good thing about London”.
“Welcome back, and Welcome to London” he said smiling at me.
“Thank you. I will be back here often, I love this place”.
“You are welcome”.
He smiled and I smiled and outside the sun was shining.
Who he was ? He was the owner.
And one day I have to have a talk with him about TGITC.
