When the city stops

I can't believe how so many people can get it so wrong.
It's cold, yes
A lot of snow, yes
Still we all know is coming and we are not ready
Moreover, as soon as the met office says it's going to improve, we all believe them, (I'm guilty too), even with their really bad record. But it doesn't improve and here I'm having a coffee, waiting for the trains to resume.
I could've my laptop, but I left it in the office, why? I guess I also believed in the met office..... yeah it will be improve tomorrow, they said
So the trains are not running, that's bad, they should have been prepared. But I wasn't either, so I can't complaint.
So here I'm having a coffee and waiting for the trains to resume, but with a smile in my face. Because we all go it wrong

Avenue Q

We probably saw one of the last shows with the Gary Coleman character. Very entertaining show with wonderful themes like The Internet Is For Porn, Schadenfreude and Everyone's A Little Bit Racist
Not rated for kids.

The 39 Steps

A must see.
London Criterion Theatre, Picadilly.

Céilidh

I haven't publish anything in months.... too much work apparently; but here we are.
A few months ago we had a Céilidh with my colleagues at work
Céilidh is a Gaelic social gathering or dance and an opportunity to were a Kilt for the first time.
Very comfortable and elegant, my choice was a Bonnie Prince Charlie Jacket with waistcoat and a Royal Stewart Tartan.

However, getting dress is not that easy. So, I took lessons....on the Internet: How to wear a Kilt
I'll recommend to rent your kilt if you are not Scottish. A good kilt is expensive but if you are going to use it several times a year, you are probably better buying one.
A good place for renting a Kilt in London is just in front of the British Museum: Highland Store

Give it a go if you haven't try it. It's quite.... liberating
