Cycling again.....

Back to bike! I am going to take some pictures tomorrow and post to show you the sunny London!

Sun!!!!!!!!!!!!! Please come to stay!!!!!

Last weekend the sky was blue, people were playing at the parks and going for picnic. The summer atmosphere arrived once again. However, the rain arrived on Tuesday and the famous "typical" weather was back. Hopes of a sunny week melted down and umbrellas left the wardrobes and went back to the streets... once again.

Even though I went to Paris for the weekend, watched the news and saw that the weather was superb here in London and the sky was blue. Ah, this week promises to be a warm one….

This is the weather in London, the unpredictable within the predictable. But the point is that summer is arriving and hope the sun is comming to stay...

Roupa Nova in London! I know, I know I am late....

Yes, the "news" is "old", but Roupa Nova (http://www.roupanova.com.br), a Brazilian band, came to London last October to record their new album: Roupa Nova in London.
It was not late to catch up, buy the CD and listen to it when cycling to work. The result in my opinion: amazing arrangements!!!!

Reading City AM

Every day when I arrive at work I read a free regional newspaper in London called City AM. The column "Out of Office" is my favourite where I can find info on what is taking place in the city regarding concerts and exhibitions. The last information that I've got from there was the play Peter Pan play that will be in a theatre in Kensington Gardens. As the website says "the production will include a breathtaking 360-degree projected scenic design".

As I am going in July, you need to wait for a while to get my impressions. In the meantime, if you are planning to come around, get more info on it: http://www.visitlondon.com/peterpan/index.

The Orange man

Went to see an interesting film last Friday night. State of Play is a political thriller with Russel Crowe, Ben Affleck, Rachel McAdams and Brennan Brown. Who? Yes, Brennan Brown, the lead actor in the Orange ads.

When I saw him on the screen, I thought there was something wrong as my instict was to laugh in the middle of... I would say a "serious" scene. My surprise was that in seconds everyone in the theatre was laughing when he said his line... The sensation was that it was a funny Orange ad inside the film. My second thought: wow, how powerful ads are...

By the way, really good movie. I do recommend it!
