The Friday after I was back from London, I had a plan to attend the Friday night at Motel Mozaique with Jacco and friends. It was the beginning of one of the very few bank holiday long weekends here in Holland but a nice way to start it.
The evening started with a massage, I know that might sound strange but they were on offer for free and I could not resist.
Then we headed over to nighttown to see a strange band which I Battles which was mostly instrumental but interesting non the less and then in no particular order we saw We are Scientists who I thought were kind of boring after a while, Emilinia Torrini, from Iceland. She was wonderful and interesting and told the best story of being on tour in the states and their strange bus driver which was completely believable. Every bus driver I have ever met are some of the strangest people I have ever met, Mogwai, which was quite boring but worth a quick look. Then it was time to head home to the Hague and catch up on some sleep.

London calling
My work sent me on a couple of really nice training courses a few weeks ago. I got to study Adobe Photoshop for a whole week and a project management training course as well.
Aside from being put up in a luxury 4+ star hotel in the centre of the city I was finally able to really enjoy the city while I could afford it.
I was staying on the south bank where I could see the parliament buildings across the river and the London eye down my side of the river.
I walked a huge amount and went to the National Portrait Gallery, The Tate Modern and saw some great places. I also managed to window shop till my feet hurt and my eyes were blurred.
I had my favorite coffee every morning and really sucked up the atmosphere.
I saw a few old friends and had the feeling that more than a few ghosts were gazing over my shoulder while I was re-experiencing it.
It was really great and lucky me I am back this coming weekend for a birthday party and MoS and a few weeks later am going back for another training in Illustrator.
Lucy me!
