I should have been born 15 years earlier. (at least)

And I wouldn't have missed the Police live, when they still had it.

This is Can't stand loosing you, live in 1979. I was 2.

Speakers on!

I have to admit i nicked the idea from gianni (http://www.pleon.it/web/blogs/geektalk.nsf) but ... hey: that's how it goes this morning.

yay!

I am on holiday for a while. During this time I will probably not bother checking my email. If you try to call me, please be aware that it might take a while before I get out of the pool and reach my phone.

Twickenham: one thing I love about this country

One of the things I enjoy the most about this country is rugby at Twickenham. It's my second time since I moved to England. I have to admit I don't yet appreciate all the subtleties of the game, but I love the experience. Twickenham is the temple of rugby, and there is something magic about going to an international sports event with an 80,000 crowd drinking and singing together, and even applauding the opponents when they manage a good play. Despite the appearances, Rugby is an incredibly civilized game and watching it live tells you a lot about this country. So far from the reality of live football in Europe!

Saturday morning: All looking good

Came back last night from B to spend the weekend at home, after a busy exciting week spent battling for my internship project.
It's finally sunny in England too and we received great news last night from Stefi's side of things: after a few pretty rough months it looks like next year will be great!
Seems like all there is left to do, at least for a while, is lay in the sun and enjoy :)
