Last January, on our annual jaunt to London, we were sitting in the pub that we like to refer to as our London local, enjoying a beer and the amazing view of the river and St Paul’s, when I had a slightly worrying thought. We had […] Posted by: Lois Lindemann on: January 24th, 2010 Posted in: Life Tags for this post: London | Mr TLC | My Life. 2 comments - more welcome! - (Comments are closed)Sneaky backpost #2 Our visits to the Royal Albert Hall always seem to start with what seems like hours (but is actually probably only a few minutes) hanging about outside, waiting for the doors to open, getting distinctly cold and wondering why there is no convenient London Boozer lurking in the neighbourhood. This time we […] Posted by: Lois Lindemann on: January 23rd, 2010 Posted in: The Universe Tags for this post: Art | London | My Life. 2 comments - more welcome! - (Comments are closed)Sneaky backpost #1 We’ve got it down to a ritual now: check in, dump suitcase, go and say hello to the river. (Yes, I’m afraid I do mean that literally.) Then off to a pub that is blessed with a Very Fine Location Indeed for a drink (that’s drink as in coffee btw, it wasn’t […] Posted by: Lois Lindemann on: February 2nd, 2009 Posted in: Uncategorized Tags for this post: Art | London | My Life. Comments are closedMr TLC was in no doubt as to how we should start our LOndon weekend. A visit to Tate Modern was definitely required. So we trundled off to re-visit some personal favourites and encounter something new. I was intrigued to see how many people still walk along the crack, or carefully step across it, even […] Posted by: Lois Lindemann on: February 1st, 2009 Posted in: Uncategorized Tags for this post: Art | Cirque de Soleil | London | My Life | Theatre. One comment so far - more welcome! - (Comments are closed)Saturday evening was the big event of the weekend: Cirque du Soleil performing Quidam at the Royal Albert Hall. I’ve tried to write about their shows before, but I don’t think my powers extend that far, so I’ve found a few snippets for you to watch.

I’ve noticed that my embarrassing vertigo doesn’t affect me at this kind of height. How ridiculous to feel sick and dizzy on the third or fourth […] Posted by: Lois Lindemann on: January 30th, 2009 Posted in: Uncategorized Tags for this post: London | Mr TLC | My Life. Comments are closedHmm, this book week is going well isn’t it? One whole review completed and posted. W00t!

Have London’s pensioned off Routemasters found new employment in Sheffield? At least one of them has, part of what seems to be a growing trend to hire a vintage bus instead of a wedding car.
