On a Saturday afternoon

London looked stunning today, hardly a cloud in the sky.... a wintersun shining and just lots of people out and about enjoying a nice day. I caught up with my friend Chloe and one of her friends and we met up at the Tate Modern, the Southbank area is one of my favourites in London, it gives so many beautiful views..... Later we met her best friend and went out for a nice Indian meal. Great conversation and distraction from the hectic of late.








Apparently according to my collegue Kushan tonight there was a special CSI- Las Vegas...episode directed by Quentin Tarantino.... I am very curious about it and I will find out on Monday! I have a real soft spot for the serie...


Oh and it was Sarah McLachlans Birthday today!!! Happy 38th! I found a very useful link with up to date info on her as well! Its HERE Below a photo I took in Brisbane May 2004



Oh a quote I came accross today!

Life isn't about waiting for the storm to pass by. It's about learning to dance in the rain.

Home Again!?

I unexpectedly visited Holland again, after having only been back in the UK after the Xmas holidays for 11 days. My mums brother passed away and I wanted to attend the service.... It was very beautiful, even the mass was very touching with African gospel. I stayed for 5 days and while I was there I also visited my grandmother, I always try to see her when I am in Holland and while driving around with my dad we stopped by. Its been years since I had a photo taken with her, so see here the result!


I also watched my friend Anita play a game of Korfbal. It was a game between the number 1 &2 and was really exciting. I enjoyed watching a good game again!

For a change I had taken the Eurostar via Bruxelles, which was a bit more relaxing than the plane, and cheaper too. I also got a new passport, no more short hair on my photo identity!!

Hopefully the next few weeks, months will be a bit less hectic than the previous. I feel since the summer live has lived me and I only now start re-emerging from it all. Oh.... I have some recommendations for you out there; The Zahir a book by Paulo Coelho, and Kate Bush' new double CD, Aerial.( esp songs;Disc 1.... 5, How To Be Invisible and Disc 2....5, Sunset...... Enjoy!

A photo I took yesterday; Byfleet & New Haw Station, soon real excitement should be back in my life!!!!!!!!

Food for thought

A nice card I received from a friend last week contained the below message!

by Marilyn Johnson Kondwani
"I truly believe we should never give up on our hopes and dreams. The path may be rocky and twisted, but the world is waiting for that special contribution each of us was born to make. What it takes is the courage to follow those whispers of wisdom that guide us from inside. When I listen to that, I expect nothing less than a miracle."
