Lately, I have been meeting many people who are either already singers or they want to learn to sing. It seems that I am attracting singers into my life! Only this morning I had coffee with a new friend, a flight attendant (also known as air stewardess / air hostess)...
Yesterday morning, I spent three hours watching the London marathon on TV. Sport is about the only thing I watch on TV so this was pure indulgence. If things had panned out differently, I too would have been running yesterday. I wrote in January about how this was the...
Spring is in the air and last Sunday I was in my favourite place in the whole world – Regents Park. The cherry trees were in blossom and were quite spectacular to say the least. This scene reminded of a great quote I came across recently from Chilean poet, Pablo...

It seems that there is always something happening around where I live. This morning, the police had to close the road for two hours after a serious accident literally yards from my home. It is only barely two months since I wrote about a motorcyclist being hit on...
