Last week(end) I traveled on the Eurostar to England for another businesstrip. I had a day of rest before work, and I decided to visit a part of London that had been on my to-see list for a while: Greenwich Park, the site of the Royal Observatory - the home of Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) and the Prime Meridian of the world. The trip there and back ( Read more... )

How does time work? I thought my previous post was last week, but apparently 2 weeks went by already! I'll round up my series of picspams from that London trip with this post ( Read more... )

Been busy with work and I spent the last two weekends doing absolutely nothing, which was bliss. It was great to return to the office after working from home since November; I really missed the cycling to and from work, but it took some getting used to again, rushing in the morning to get out of the house on time ( Read more... )

A recent comment on Twitter made me think of a musical I saw in London in 2018 yet when I went looking for my photos to reminisce, I couldn't find any online report, except for two pics in my Instagram! I can't remember why I never got around to sharing more photos, especially when that trip was actually one of my most in depth explorations of ( Read more... )

So I was supposed to go on this theatre trip to London in July 2020, but then the world got to go into lockdown and the play was cancelled. I was thrilled when I got a mail from the Young Vic theatre earlier this year announcing that they would put on Hamlet with Cush Jumbo after all and that my ticket would be valid for the new dates. I was very ( Read more... )

Another challenge for landofart:
Make up to 4 pieces focusing on architecture of buildings, or structures in the world, or in the fandom world if you can find them.
I chose to make picspams (a collage with a minimum of 6 images) with photos of my own travels, since I always make tons of pictures of buildings so I had plenty of material in my own archives:)

I ( Read more... )

Right before travel was shut down to slow down the spread of the Corona virus, I went on a weekendtrip to London I had planned months before. I had a ticket to a play on Saturday and on Sunday I was going to meet up with friends at the British Museum, that I'd never been to. Unfortunately my friends had to cancel last minute, so I visited the ( Read more... )

Last weekend I did a quick trip to London, mainly because I don't know what's gonna happen after Brexit and I so love to go there. I worked on Friday morning, then went home and packed my bags for the night boat across the Channel ( Read more... )

I'm back from my mini vacation! Had a great time, walked around an area of London I hadn't explored before and found a couple of cool sights; I returned home with 666 photos, haha. Yesterday I had an extra day off for a hot stone/cold stone massage, which was very reinvigorating. This morning I went back to work for a couple of hours and now I have ( Read more... )
