Magical ice

Yesterday a group of us went skating, luckily missing the rain. There were a few left over puddles on the ice and we had a couple of wet bottoms, but I won’t name names! Little John was a star. And as always it was magical, there is something very special about skating and especially about skating outside.

Film Festival 3

Walk the Line â€“ best bio-pic for ages â€“ and am walking around listening to Johnny Cash & June Carter because of it
Everything Is Illuminated â€“ a good attempt at trying to transfer the book to the screen, but misses out the magical realism and Elijah Wood lives up to his nameâ€¦
Shopgirl â€“ Steve Martin’s novella – nice, some lovely performances, but a bit slow
3 Needles â€“ deals with the spread of HIV â€“ tough, but very rich
Little Jerusalem â€“ some good performances, but little else

Wedding Days

Well IÂ´m finally sitting down to update the site, having just arrived in Quito. I had a mad two weeks of rushing around getting everything ready for my trip and missed saying goodbye to loads of people. The weddings went really well. There was a slight misunderstanding in London involving a box of confetti, a couple of taxis and a few blisters – but all was alright in the end. Hey Z and B hope you had a good time, really glad you both made it.

The wedding in Bogota was magical. SilviaÂ´s family were so welcoming Bogota felt like a home away from home. The wedding took place in a tiny chapel beautifully decorated with gorgeous flowers and rose petals scattered on the ground. The service – Catholic – was long…and a little odd under the circumstances – but hey! And as a godmother (along with T) I had to sign as a witness….Silva had failed to inform me about this and I did feel a bit conflicted – but as IÂ´m a Godmother to Sarah I guess itÂ´s a similar thing. Modernity meets tradition…and doesnÂ´t quite fit together.

The reception afterwards was great fun… wonderful food and lotÂ´s of salsa dancing…Alicia I should have asked for a lesson!
