I had a bit of a difficult day but it was so uplifting.
It really gave me a delightful evening,
what a fantastic show!

Random

Perhaps I should have got red for winter and
green for summer...hummmm...

Guess where the light is in the flat!


Waiting Waiting.....

I did not share the very sad news about my stolen brompton
as I was so upset that I could not bring myself to write about it
which meant I had to think about the situation again!
Well, it got stolen in a very doggy area of south London in June
just after my birthday and I said to myself that I will not cycle again.

After few months of compromising with the public transport and time.
I had to cycle again and of course I would not cycle any other bicycle
but a brompton! It was really when I borrowed my manager's brompton
to get to a meeting and it just felt so right! So off I went and
ordered a new baby early this month. It will look totally different.
I had a hard(!) time deciding on the colour! I was going for the same
colour as it is the best colour BUT they had a couple of new colours out
which got me so indecisive but all the decision are made and I only have to wait.

I ordered my bike lights two weeks ago which arrived but it was not working! Dame it!
I received as I was leaving for work in the morning so I checked very quickly.
I went to hardware store for the battery today as it requires lithium cell but I was not
sure of the size so I said I will come back and opened the back to discover
that each, front and rear, of them needs two! Then I found that there was a paper
inbetween the batterys...yes...it was to stop it from being used?! 
I felt a bit silly but very happy that they are working!!!! hhh

I had Knog lights last time too which are very effective and sexy!
They are a bit expensive but good value for money.


























Yes, please tell me I am obsessive with my bicycle but with bromptons
you have to be! And often they are passionate cyclists too :)
I am extremely excited to be cycling again despite the crazy drivers!

                       ***************************
In general, I am pretty good in waiting for something I really want
whether that is an item, plans, future or even with people.
Of course, with people it is not easy but I do wait for some people sometimes....

Nublu-London Jazz Festival

The band has just started!

Queen Elizabath Hall
Southbank Centre
Front Room


It was like a club night with a live gig,
well that was what it was.
Wrist band was given at the door too.
I was a bit tired so we just seat at the back and
enjoyed watching others dancing away
which is a very rare thing for me as I would be out on the floor!


The band was a very good a cross over between rock and jazz,
plus some Turkish touch!

A view of the Thames and the reflection of the lights from the room.

I did not get to go to many gigs and concerts as I would have liked to but
I did enjoy the two I have been to this year.
I think I will go to more live Jazz jams which I have not been for the
last two years...not sure why but I just did not bother with live Jazz
but continued with various classical concerts though.
