Strange fashion statements part II: The Onesie

I did see some a couple of years ago in Upsala, but now this one tracking suit fashion from Norway has firmly took ground in the UK. (It didn't help that the One Direction boys all are wearing them). It wouldn't be the UK if they hadn't created special X-mas onesies: You can buy a animal onesie fro your X-mas party everywhere.

Strange fashion statements part I: The X-mas jumper


While we're in Edinburgh we cannot avoid looking at rows and rows full of X-mas jumpers. Most of them with Snowman, Reindeer and Santa Claus. In the most terrible pattern, colors and extras (like bells). This year it seems that EVERYONE is supposed to wear such a jumper at X-mas in the UK. When did this "grandma self knitted" craze started? Was it Bridget Jones the movie?

Edinburgh Castle

Yes we are in Edinburgh and the castle remains one of the best views of the world in a city center. (specially with dramatic Scottish clouds)

Why I am glad that Evel Knievel had lots of accidents - and survived them all...

When riding my motorbike in not so perfect autumn conditions I sometimes have to think about Evel Knievel. If you realize how many "accidents" this guy had during his motorbike stunts and always survived (sure with a couple of broken ribs and bones), then you feel much safer...

The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug

Now that the premiere of "The Hobbit part 2" is nearing (who ever had the idea of putting this thin book into THREE major motion pictures?) it is nice to remember the first time I read The Hobbit. I actually started with this book before The Ring trilogy and I was about 12 I guess. Every time I read parts of the story I immediately go way back in time when I first wandered in  Rivendell and and the Misty Mountains

Marque Air

After my Nike Air, Airbook what else then a logical choice to buy the new iPad Air? So Marijn and I waited for an half hour in the Amsterdam Apple queue and got us a space grey one. And YES: it is much lighter and faster :-)

Asterix is back

I cannot wait to get my hand on the new Asterix album: Asterix and the Picts. Created by Jean-Yves Ferri and Didier Conrad, overseen by original creator Albert Uderzo. Let's hope that it is better then the last couple of albums, which Underzo did himself and by doing so almost killing of the whole series.

Something to look forward to: a visit to Musée D'Orsay to see the Masculin Exhibition.

How to visit a Megastar?

Dame Edna Everage is probably the most popular and gifted woman in the world today:  housewife, investigative journalist, social anthropologist, talk show host, swami, children’s book illustrator, spin doctor, Megastar, and Icon. So no wonder that when she announced her farewell tour - the world shivered. And I mean that in a loving and caring way. Dirk and Roland gave us the idea to visit Edna and so we will in Edinburgh.
