I'm back after a week and a half......or was it a week? I've lost touch with how much time has passed. I spent a wonderfully relaxing and enjoyable time on the Island saying goodbye to it. No...before you ask...I don't feel sad at all. I fact It's exiting and I'm looking forward to spending a month here at the end of this year WoooHooo! Everything ( Read more... )

Quick post. Saw this film last night at the cinema and have to recommend it. It was funny, shocking and uplifting. Danny Boyle the director must be so pleased. Yeah ok ...I know you've all seen it.....and yes I KNOW the controversy surrounding it....but hey....it was good...despite the romantic blah.

I wish I needed less sleep, but unfortunately I seem to require a full eight hours...or at least seven. Extremely inconvenient I think. *sigh* What could I do with less sleep and more hours in the day. A friend recently told me she only need around five hours.

I went to see The Lost and Found Orchestra last Sunday at The South Bank and thought Pirate might appreciate ANOTHER good use of traffic cones. *LOL* Yes, I'll bet Robyn HAS thought of this too! *LOL* Haven't we all? So everyone..... pots and pans at the ready ( Read more... )

Thank You Me_Pirateship and S. for a wonderful holiday and your great company on my recent holiday visit to your home town of Nuremberg. A beautiful city of red roofs, medieval churches, cobbled streets and twinkly mulled wine. So we had rain instead of the snow I so much wanted. *shrug* BUT…....on a Christmas shopping trip I bought a lovely, ( Read more... )

So I started looking for Christmas gifts last Saturday and would you believe it.... I did it Again *slaps self*.....went up to Oxford Street to do some shopping. *LOL* Some people just don't learn I hear you say to yourself.

This rainbow seems a bit of a non event really. *LOL* Oh well....

I'd completely forgotten about this little theatre and really can't imagine why. Any visitors to London or even natives....pay attention please...... because this is another unique theatre going experience. Wilton's Music Hall is a gorgeous delipidated decadent theatre with a lovely intimate.. ie tiny.... so book ahead, restaurant. The smell of ( Read more... )

Along with the rest of the world I'm watching and waiting. (Well...sort of.........I'm off to the gym......The Trauma and Drama of it all over the last few months...though I understand seems to be necessary...is rather boring.) America is on the brink of either change and hope.......or disaster...same old same old.....with a great loss of whatever ( Read more... )
