Hi dearest reader.

Good Afternoon. I trust you are having a nice shiny day! Here in Bovindon it is sunshine and sunshine. I will start to tell you about yesterday evening and I must tell you, it was something very special last evening, let me begin. It started with that I went with Rod in the morning to his work in South Ruislip which is a suburb in west London. I had just seen the building he is working in once before just from the outside. So he have never taken me in there before. I meet some of his collegues. Just because it was a sunday, there was not all of them there. They where all very nice to me and brought in sandwiches for us all to share. Rod works in the car industry and he is financial senior manager for this car dealer ship group that sells VW's.

The day progressed well and five a clock we went of away from the building and I was left with a good understanding for his work, and some good memories. We headed of in to London from the west. It was a little bt rainy at the time, but that didn't bother us. We hadn't brought any umbrella but we knew that we easily could borrow one where we where heading for.

It was a bit tricky to find because we had just been there once before. We finally found it and it was a relief to once again be standing outside this beautiful and magnificent entrance of Charlotte Street Hotel at Charlotte Street. It is a beutiful, grand hotel with a feel of art and grace, it is a very arty district with a lot of media studios within everything from radio to television.

On that very same street you can find food and tastes from all over the world, of the few restaurants I saw there was food served with tastes from Italy, the Fillipines, Thailand, China, India and a bit of contemporary English cousine.

We entered Charlotte Street hotel for to start our evening in a relaxing environment and some nice food. We where directed to our table. The interior of there restaurant Oscar is superp. It is art meeting metropolitan city meeting picturesque Italian veranda. The walls are paintings, they are drawings right on the walls, and the windows are acctually big veranda doors painted in a mediterranean purple colour. It is grand! The waiter served us excellent food, for starters a salad with feta cheese for me and Stilton for Rod, as maincourse we had roasted lamb with fresh new potatoes served cold in a summery light cream sauce with taste of parsley and sweet summer, for dessert we had an egg custard tart served with a tasty berry sauce. Delicious!

After we went downstairs to the hotels very own screening room. We called them sunday morning and asked if they had any seats available for the evenings film, and even thoe it was with short notice, we got to perfect seats. It was the movie that made my evening. It was a emotional drama about a young boy experiencing the second world war in Poland for to later escape from there with a middleaged man to a greece island. He later got to Canada where he studied and worked as a teacher. It was very heavy at times and I must confess that I cired many times. It was one of theese movies that leave a remark in your soul. Thank You that came up with the idea of making the movie, "Fugitive Pieces".

The evening eneded in bed with a cup of tea and a piece of choclate...

Many Thanks
