Deadline Monday 1 December
Creative New Zealand in association with the Auckland Arts Festival is calling for proposals from theatre, dance, music and cross artform companies and artists to showcase work for international presenters. This will take place during the Auckland Arts Festival, 7 – 14 March 2015 as part of Creative New Zealand's annual Te Manu Ka Tau programme
Showcases will be held in both Auckland and Wellington, depending on the home base of successful companies/artists.
Current possible showcase dates are:
Auckland: Monday 9, Tuesday 10, Wednesday 11 March
Wellington: Thursday 12 and Friday 13 March
Final dates will be confirmed after TMKT guest's schedules are finalised.
Costs associated with your showcase will not be eligible for additional funding from either Creative New Zealand or the Auckland Arts Festival, but a venue and some technical support may be provided.
Artists and organisations must be able to provide up to 20 minutes of a work that is complete and ready for touring. We are looking to provide some central city venues, so that our international manuhiri can experience as many showcases as possible within a limited time-frame. However, if you have specific venue requirements or wish to present in your own rehearsal rooms please include this in your proposal.
We will also consider pitches for works that are in development, depending on available time, especially if the works have an Asian partner or are wishing to find a presenter in Asia. Please include any Asian connection in your proposal and your reasons for wishing to engage with Asia.
The opportunity to submit a proposal closes at 5pm on Monday 1 December 2014 and decisions will be made by Friday 19 December. Late proposals will not be accepted. The proposals will be assessed by a panel made up of Creative New Zealand staff, the Auckland Arts Festival Artistic Director, the New Zealand Festival Artistic Director and at least one independent industry representative.
The company must be a Creative New Zealand client; for example previously or currently funded though the Toi Tōtara Haemata, Toi Uru Kahikatea or Arts Grants/Quick Response funding processes.
The company must provide evidence of national and/or international touring experience and have suitable work appropriate for international markets.
The company must be available for touring in 2015 and 2016.
The company must have the rights to tour the work internationally.
The work to be showcased must be described fully (synopsis, story board and/or DVD, YouTube links provided) and evidence of availability of artists to perform in the showcase must be confirmed in writing.
The work to be showcased should be a completed work that has already been presented, is about to be presented, or is a work in development that has been well progressed. Key company personnel other than performers, for example director and producer, must be available to attend and speak to the work via a Q and A process.
Companies must be aware that although a venue will be provided, the venue will come with limited production facilities for showcases so the company/artist will need to cover the costs of any specialist equipment.
Support material
The proposal should include; name of the work, art form, stage of development, previous performances, if any, a description of the intended audience for work and reasons for wishing to tour internationally, and in which markets.
The proposal should be brief and to the point.
Reviews or critical commentary should be attached to the proposal, which should be no more than four A4 pages. Please do NOT attach lengthy CVs or bulky back ground paper-based information. Support letters from other Festival directors and venue presenters are useful.
YouTube or vimeo is the preferred visual support material.
Expressions of interest can be submitted electronically, but if any information is missing from the proposal as outlined above, your proposal will not be considered.
Can be electronic or hard copy. Electronic is preferred
Must arrive by 5pm on Monday 1 December 2014

Annual residency program for composers and performers – July 13-Aug 2, 2015
Application Deadline: Thurs, January 15, 2015
The Bang on a Can Summer Music Festival at MASS MoCA (Massachusetts Museum of Contemporary Art) is a three-week residency and musical utopia for innovative composers and performers dedicated entirely to adventurous contemporary music. We will write it. We will perform it. We will think about it and we will talk about it. Composers will have their works performed. Players will perform in ensembles sitting alongside their teachers. There are daily recitals in the museum galleries, and the residency concludes with a six-hour blow-out Marathon Concert featuring performances by the student/faculty ensembles. The program also includes world music workshops, an orchestra of original instruments, technology and music business seminars and more.
Past participants have said: Bang on a Can has changed my life. I never thought it would be possible to find a community that is devoted to new music with such a high caliber of musicianship, such enthusiasm and mutual supportiveness, and such a sense of joy for everything we do. I know I'll be looking to recreate this feeling in my future collaborations, always.
Bang on a Can is really everything I want the music world to be — inclusive, engaging, innovative, fun, thought-provoking, beautiful, challenging, and rewarding. The festival brings all of that and more directly into focus, and it has made all the difference in the word to have been a part of it.
The faculty will be drawn from among the most innovative musicians of our time from ensembles including Bang on a Can All-Stars, eighth blackbird, California EARUnit and more: Gregg August, bass; Ashley Bathgate, cello; Vicky Chow, piano; David Cossin, percussion; Michael Gordon, composition; David Lang, composition; Brad Lubman, conducting; Nicholas Photinos, cello; Vicki Ray, piano; Todd Reynolds, violin; Mark Stewart, guitar; Ken Thomson, saxophone/clarinet; Julia Wolfe, composition; and more special guests!
The Bang on a Can Summer Music Festival at MASS MoCA is located in the beautiful Berkshire Mountains in Western Massachusetts. MASS MoCA presents exhibitions and performances by renowned artists and cultural institutions, but it also is a place where the process of creativity is explored. Bang on a Can is thrilled to work with them in building a bridge between the arts.

"Contest in Handwritten Score"
Purpose of the Contest
– Music is easily made with electronics and can easily be listened.
– Danger of making melody easily is fraught.
– In this contest, music must be written by hand.

– By this activity, a new yet old feeling of urges towards compositions will be discovered.

The International Center for Japanese Culture (ICJC) is working to promote new compositions for traditional Japanese instruments in order to bring attention to their unique sounds and musical capabilities. In spite of increasing worldwide exposure and interest in the traditional music and instruments of Japan, new compositions which successfully combine both western and Japanese instruments are still unusual.
2015 is the inaugural year of the 21st Century Japanese Music Project, and the first initiative is the creation of a composition contest combining the Japanese koto with one western instrument (details below). The competition aims to promote a deeper understanding of traditional Japanese culture and international collaboration through new music written by composers worldwide.
Winning compositions will be awarded a cash prize of ¥500,000 for first place and ¥100,000 for second place. In addition, winning compositions will be performed both in Japan and the USA in 2015 by the award winning Yokohama International School High Japanese Music Ensemble as well as published through Mother Earth Publishing Company.
Submission Requirements
1) Instrumentation: The submitted works must be written for two to five performers including up to three 13-string kotos and one 17-string bass koto. One western instrument must be included in the composition (flute, clarinet, violin or cello).
2) Composition Length: 6 to 12 minutes.
3) Score: Western Score
4) Other stipulations: No age limit or nationality requirement.Composition should not be previously performed or recorded.

Parts for the build
Today we have purchased the parts for the upcoming HiFi-M8 build.
You may remember that we are planning a large build in September.
That's still on schedule so far.
We just dumped a lot of money into parts… too much to think about.
Parts should be arriving next week and then will be sent to our suppliers for assembly of the PCBs.
I will be keeping you in the loop on this production build throughout the next month.

A letter by the host i.e. Amit Gulati. I Amit Gulati s/o Mr. Avinash Gulati (ex-president of hotel and restaurant Association). My father started hotel in 1989 named as hotel Rose, within a year or two our hotel name has been recommended in all major guide books like lonely planet, rough guide book, DE-rotter ed, Italian, Korean and various other travel guide books.
Globe trotter also stated that hotel Rose is very safe for Japanese girls and if you are cheated in Agra, contact to Mr. Avinash Gulati he will help you. It is also stated in all guide books that you can see Taj Mahal from the roof top restaurant of the hotel. The hotel is also recommended and approved by central government of tourism dept. But in year 2000 due to his age factor he was unable to manage the hotel and I was too young to support him at that time so he decided to lease the hotel to State Bank of India as a guest house in year 2000.
Today I am eligible enough to restart my father's business but in such a way that can give a homely and traditional feel to our guest. So I turned the whole concept of hotel into a home stay. Now with my wife and my parents I boast to be the best host. We assure you to provide a secured, economical, homely atmosphere and an invitation to live with an Indian family as its member, to experience the Indian custom, tradition and authentic Indian mughlai cuisine closely. We aim to make your stay in India a memorable one to cherish for years together.

I bought LE32D550. In my country (Montenegro) there is only Analog TV signal, and asspect ratio is 4:3. My question is: if I'm watching that programms in 4:3 mode, will it affect bad on LCD panel becouse of vertical black areas on screen (or if movie is 1920x900 pixels (not 1920x1080), there are two horizontal black areas)?

Post here if accepted to WSSU ABSN - page 3
Hello! I've been accepted to WSSU's ABSN program starting in January 2012. Let's get this party started! Where is everyone from? Anyone commuting? From where? Hopes? Fears? Dreams? We will be undergoing a tremendous... Read More

Congrats on getting into the program. I am sure we will do well. I see that you are moving from Charlotte. I was thinking about moving there with family and commuting to Winston. Would you not reccommend it? I am also looking at apartments. What would you reccommend in the area of Winston? Have you found anything. Thanks for your help!!!

I was thinking about commuting also, because for me it would be about an hour and a half. But, there are a few problems I want to avoid. Weather is one. I am simply nervous that I will be caught in an ice storm or road closures. Traffic is another issue. Also, from the looks of the schedule we will be in class or clinicals four days a week. For my sanity I would prefer to relax, sleep and study instead of driving 3+ hours a day.
Ms Wuf suggested that Ardmore is close to the hospital and I have had some luck in finding a few decent places. With Wake Forest nearby there are many students in the area looking for rentals or roomies. Nothing concrete yet although I am still deciding whether I want to live alone or with roommates.
If it gets too expensive or I want to see my family I can always come back to Charlotte. Also, it depends on where you live in Charlotte/Charlotte Area. If you live in the northern parts it may only be an hour drive.
- 0Oct 29, '11 by jecrews83Hello everyone!! So glad we were accepted for the ABSN program at WSSU. I would love to meet up with everyone before we start this long journey in Jan. I have spoke with a girl that is in the program and she said it is hard but can be accomplished. I'm very nervous about the program because I know that it is going to be very faced paced so it would be nice to meet and talk about study groups :-)
I also heard that we will not find out about funding until the end of November which makes it hard because the program is quite expensive. 17,000 and that is including the 500 dollar stipend that you recieve for 12 months.
Oh, I live in Thomasville, NC so I'm pretty local to the area. I lived in WS for 7 years before we moved in May. I have worked for Baptist hospital as a Surgical Technologists in the operating room for 7 years, so I have heard good things about this program. So excited to meet everyone!!!!!
- 0Oct 30, '11 by bootsie1367Welcome Jecrews83!
For you guys that had your interiew already hold did it go? Mine is tomorrow.
- 0Oct 30, '11 by jecrews83I think it went well. They just ask you questions about your job experiences and your character. They also asked what your strengths and weakness are which sometimes can be tricky to answer.... I think they are looking for people that are serious about the program and willing to do whatever it takes to make it through the program like studying hard, moving near the area, good support system, etc....
They also ask you to bring your transcripts so I'm sure that grades play a part in the choosing process.. Good luck!!
- 0Oct 31, '11 by Monster41hi jecrews83,
i will be visiting winston salem in decemeber to look for potential housing. if you want to get together, you or anyone that is interested, we can surely meet up before school starts. :d
i hope everyone had a great interview and if there are still those who are waiting, good luck!! the nurse recruiter is friendly and the interview overall was an enjoyable experience.
are you still considering commuting? i am debating. what part of charlotte is your family from? i may stay with my aunt in kannpolis if you wanted to contemplate carpooling with me. it would be a two hour a day study session!Last edit by Monster41 on Oct 31, '11

Investigators allege that Arizona's mine inspector broke the law by leasing vehicles without proper authority and spending taxpayer money on personal cell phones, political contributions and parking tickets.
State Comptroller D. Clark Partridge announced the conclusions Thursday following a five-month investigation. He said the department violated laws that regulate how state agencies purchase and account for vehicles, misused federal money and dipped into a fund to pay for personal expenses such as carwashes.
Specifically, the investigation found that Doug Martin, who is serving his last year in office, exceeded his authority by leasing four vehicles worth $103,834.
State law requires him to go through the Department of Administration to pay for the vehicles. Partridge said Martin thought he had the authority to pay for the vehicles because he was allowed to buy them in the past. Martin did not return repeated calls to his office.
The vehicles were bought in 2004 with federal money that was supposed to go toward training. Although the inspector's office returned the vehicles to Ford Motor Credit in July, state officials said the state could be forced to reimburse the federal government because it didn't use the money for training purposes.
In addition, the office didn't report the purchase of the vehicles to the General Office of Accounting, as required by state law.
Kerry Ugalde, Martin's chief assistant, characterized the 20-page report as mostly fair but criticized some parts as being too harsh. Because the office deals directly with the mining industry, Ugalde said it needs to be treated differently from other state agencies.
She also said the state's procurement laws are confusing and Martin believed he was acting within the law. She also said there are times when regulations can end up costing taxpayers more money.
"Following the procurement policies is not always the most prudent action," she said Thursday.
The investigation also found the office operated a $5,000 account with an outside bank in which employees used money for personal reasons. According to the report, employees paid for things such as a $12 parking ticket, a $50 donation to Sheriff Joe Arpaio's posse members and a personal cell phone.
Martin also used the money to reimburse himself twice for the same $13.25 carwash, the report found.
William Bell, the director for the Department of Administration, will send the findings to the Arizona Attorney General's Office for further review. But he will not make any recommendations on whether the state should prosecute Martin.
It was Bell who called for an audit of the mine inspector's office in April after an employee there — on loan from another agency — reported financial mismanagement.

2008 Hyundai Tiburon GS 2.0L 4 cylinder from North America
A girls car and that's it, just a girls car
The trunk release didn't work when I bought the car.
Got terrible gas mileage for a car of its size. I mean for a little 4 banger, it pumped out only 138hp.
The thing only got 20 in the city and like 27 on the highway.
General Comments:
I bought this car, after finally explaining to my parents that the s**t box Mazda Protege they bought me, was making me want to drive it into a lake.
Now just as a little back story, I always loved cars growing up. More importantly, American cars and muscle cars, and I know enough to pick myself out a car I would like.
But my mom ended up calling our next door neighbor, who's a car salesman, and made him look for a car for me.
A couple months later, we get a call that he found something, and what is it but a 2008 Hyundai Tiburon GS red with a sunroof. I saw it and said, "hey I used one of these cars in need for speed." After taking it for a ride, I thought it was alright, but my mom apparently fell in love with it, and started saying we have a deal.
On the way over to the sales office, I caught a glimpse of a BEAUTIFUL 2003 Cadillac Deville with a brown canvas top. I stopped over to see it, and immediately fell in love with it. However my mom took one look at it, and said "It's an old mans car, NO!".
The first couple months I had it were good. It got me from A to B. But being six foot one, the car's comfort factor started to concern me. I had to take two other kids to school with me everyday, and honestly if I had to shut the rear hatch, I would tell the passenger in the back to duck.
Driving this car for long distances and short distances, is terrible; being 19 years old and complaining that my back is hurting, is not good.
To sum up the car in the performance department; it's a sheep in wolves clothing. It looks like it can go fast, and even looks like it's going fast standing still, but if you floor it, you're going to be disappointed.
After a year of owning this car, I'd had enough. Me and my dad took the car without my mom knowing, and traded it in on a 2002 Cadillac Deville. Let's just say my mom wasn't too thrilled seeing me come home. On the bright side though, I did walk out of the dealership with 1500 bucks in my pocket.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? No
Review Date: 25th September, 2012
26th Sep 2012, 12:58
What happens when you get tired of the Caddy?
26th Sep 2012, 16:28
The Tiburon may be sporty, but the Cadillac is a better car for the money; way more luxurious too. I would have chose the Cadillac too; great to know that there are younger people with good taste in cars too.
27th Sep 2012, 18:10
Yeah, Tiburon's have always been crappy cars. The Caddy is way better if that's your style. Good move dude.
11th Nov 2014, 03:27
I had an 01 Tiburon. A good car, the tranny was starting to down shift from 4th to 3rd and then sometimes stay in third until you shut it down. Wait a few moments and restart, and all was good again.
Looking at an 08 now, I like 4 cylinder cars, had plenty of great muscle cars in my 60 years, but I appreciate good looks and decent gas mileage. To those of you who want to go super fast, go ahead, it's your money, spew it out the exhaust; my 65 GTO got 12 miles to a gallon, but when I owned it... you got 3 gallons for a dollar, so that was just fine.

4 sentences about classical music that I don't mind reading
There seemed to be an universal agreement with Soho the Dog when he posted his famous 8 sentences, but on half of them, he was either being way too literal or just wrong.
"Jazz is America's classical music."
Yeah sure, Johns Adams & Corigliano and their peers are this continent's contributions to the field of classical music, but this, dear fellow, is what we call a metaphor. In this case, it applies to the fact that jazz is an aesthetic that is entirely unique and has risen to the serious-minded plateau of traditional classical music. Why is that so hard?
"Mozart and Beethoven were the popular music of their time."
There is no 200-year-old equivalent of Justin Timberlake. The pop star is a 20th century creation of a nascent mass media. These composers were, by any measure, more important to their contemporary cultural life than anything that exists today in the classical community. The estimates are that somewhere between 20 and 30,000 people flocked to Beethoven's funeral. Franz Stober even painted the thing:
Lady Di, sure. But can you imagine people turning out like this when Philip Glass checks out?
"Orchestras need to do away with tuxedos because they're stuffy and outdated."
Not to mention that they're utterly absurd. Orchestras started wearing this crap because that's what the audience wore (There's a lovely scene in the old movie 'Tales of Manhattan' that perfectly illustrates the sartorial peer pressure which gave rise to this tradition). But when do you ever see an audience in white tie these days? In what universe does it make sense for an orchestra to continue to dress this way?
"Composers today only write music for other composers."
An absurd generalization, of course, but it does put its thumb on the fundamental issue that arises out of classical music being so cloistered: there is no general audience for new classical music in America.

"Orchestras need to do away with tuxedos because they're stuffy and outdated."
Exactly. The fact that classical concerts remain (for the most part—groups like Kronos and other progressives excluded) quasi-formal, or at least dressy, affairs again suggests that classical music has airs of pretense and exclusivity. Such impressions don't help grow an audience. My feeling is that if I no longer have to get dressed up for religious services, or to even go to work in some cases, why should I have to dress up for what I think of as a recreational event?
"Composers today only write music for other composers."
Many don't. But some do, which also doesn't help our cause. I do think, however, that there could be a general audience for new music. Not a large one, but at least much better than what we have now.

Yes, "Jazz is America's classical music" may be a metaphor, but too often it is an excuse for avoiding American "classical" composers. I'm thinking of those involved in radio, unadventurous orchestras and colleges, and those who simply don't know any better. Jazz is no less of an art form because of classical music, but it deserves its own category.

Not sure I've ever heard anyone explain that they're programming Benny Goodman so that they can avoid Pierre Boulez.

"Composers today only write music for other composers."
I'm sure I may gain a number of detracters for saying this but, not to be narcissistic, I really only write music for myself.
I've always thought there is something missing in even my favorite music that I need to at least try to do. What the bloody hell do if I care if anybody listens, if I can at least get closer to writing for myself I'm happy. I don't think there's anything wrong with that.
(and that's some of the most you'll ever hear from me in a thread on this whole audience issue…)
Comment from David Salvage
Time: October 13, 2006, 10:53 pm
Okay, so let's dress orchestras in the clothes people who write non-stuffy music wear.
Girls, let's see those legs and bellies — the more wardrobe malfunctions, the better. Guys: grungy, okay?
"Second bassoon? Yeah, I need you in jeans. And, sorry ma'am: our very cool, un-stuffy audience isn't paying money to see your 60-year-old varicose veins. Good thing there're loads of 22 year old female musicains looking for jobs. Nothing personal, you know. . ."
Seriously, though: people aren't dressing up for concerts as much as (supposedly) they used to. I've seen lots of jeans at the Met. And does anyone honestly think if orchestras dressed more hip there'd be more auidences? "Cool" clothes will lose their coolness right away if the people wearing them are sitting behind stands, playing together, and being led by a conductor.
And if jazz wants be called "classical" music, fine with me. Let's take "jazz" from them while we're at it.
And even if Beethoven was popular in his day, that doesn't mean he wrote "popular music."
And so what if composers write music for other composers? (a statement I find highly incredulous). Do they/we always have to be writing music at the service of some higher/more democratic cause? I wonder if Fifty Cent writes his music out of a duty to the greater health of hip hop culture. Somehow, I doubt it.

Your example is too extreme…besides, it's not going to be in the program notes.
In some ways jazz is just as neglected as the so-called American "classical" music.

Maybe the reason I don't mind tuxedos is because I happen to look damn fine in one.

People who think that my tuxedo and the tuxedos of my peers are "elegant" obviously haven't been up close and personal with them, especially after a week of Nutcracker or a run of outdoors concerts in August.
Comment from Rodney Lister
Time: October 13, 2006, 11:40 pm
There's a quote from W. H. Auden (which I think I've mentioned before), which goes something like:
The poet's ideal audience consists of the beautiful who go to bed with him, the powerful who invite him to dinner and tell him secrets of state, and his fellow poets. The audience that the poet gets consists of old lady school teachers, pimply young men who eat in cafeterias, and his fellow poets. So a poet's audience is his fellow poets.
More to the point however, it seems to me that composers in a way write for themselves; at least the write the music that tickles them, that seems to them beautiful and meaningful (why else who they write it unless they were being paid to write something comforming to other criteria–and we all know how likely that is); that they hope that other people will agree with them about it and they're delighted if they do and sad, and sometimes angry, it they don't.
As to tuxes–whatever turns you on, I guess, does anybody really think it matters that much? I suppose the use of it is that it's a uniform which makes everybody look more or less alike and therefore isn't terrible distracting.

It's always struck me as more than a little odd that dudes are supposed to wear tuxes, but the ladies get away with a shirt pants. If we're serious about the whole formal wear thing, Marin Alsop should be conducting in an evening gown, not a pantsuit.
Comment from Glenn Freeman
Time: October 14, 2006, 9:33 pm
I see it this way …
Popular Music Is Popular.
Mozart/Beethoven Will Always Be Popular.
Orchestras Should Program Popular Composers.
Popular Composers (Glass, Reich, Feldman, Cage, etc.) Write Music For Everyone.
Comment from CM Zimmermann
Time: October 16, 2006, 12:29 pm
Perhaps orchestras should wear high school band uniforms.
Comment from CM Zimmermann
Time: October 16, 2006, 12:32 pm
Or perhaps, orchestras should adopt the sartorial appearance of the period of the particular repertoire that they are doing. Historically informed performance?
Comment from rama gottfried
Time: October 20, 2006, 10:33 am
ooo! i like that! i think that seeing the performers in the costume of the period will help put us within the best conditions for understanding the dialogues between the musical syntax to the types of pant leggings they wore.

Say What?! Celebrity Foot-In-The-Mouth Moments (PHOTOS)
With the media and public's constant watch, celebrities often have to watch what they say. But not everyone can escape the occasional gaffe.
In the November issue of Vanity Fair, Johnny Depp revealed his extreme disdain for photo shoots, and even went as far to compare it to violent sexual assault.
"Well, you just feel like you're being raped somehow. Raped...It feels like a kind of weird–just weird," the Rum Diary actor said. "But whenever you have a photo shoot or something like that, it's like–you just feel dumb."Depp's quote didn't fare well in the public spotlight. The Rape, Abuse and Incest National Network (RAINN) vehemently disagreed with the statement, which Depp quickly responded to with a sincere apology on Tuesday, saying:
"I am truly sorry for offending anyone in any way. I never meant to. It was a poor choice of words on my part in an effort to explain a feeling," the actor remarked. "I understand there is no comparison, and I am very regretful. In an effort to correct my lack of judgment, please accept my heartfelt apology."Brad Pitt's comments about his former marriage to Jennifer Aniston during a Parade interview caused the Moneyball star to think twice about his statements.
"All I know is that my point was, the best thing I'd done as a father is be sure that my kids have a good mother....That's all I was, or am, trying to say, " he told Matt Lauer. "It has no reference to the past. And I think it's a shame that I can't say something nice about Angie without Jen being drug in. You know, she doesn't deserve it."
Brad's comments got us thinking about John Mayer's infamous 2010 commentary about ex-girlfriend, Jessica Simpson. "That girl, for me, is a drug, "said the 33-year-old singer. "And drugs aren't good for you if you do lots of them. Yeah, that girl is like crack cocaine to me...Sexually it was crazy. That's all I'll say. It was like napalm, sexual napalm..."
Then, late last week, country crooner, Hank Williams Jr.'s comparison of Barack Obama to Adolf Hitler during a Fox & Friends interview caused jaws to drop across the nation. ESPN pulled his theme song from its Monday Night Football opening, and Williams issued an apologetic reply afterward.

Yay! I've swapped my work shifts around so that I can spend a couple of days in London this week. I was meeting my daughter this afternoon but she's got a sickness bug (hopefully we can meet up tomorrow), so I'm going to have a wander on my own, the Kings Road area probably, before meeting hubby for dinner tonight – he works in London and commutes in on most days.
I have big plans to complete my Christmas shopping over these two days, it'll never happen, but I can try
Wish me luck!
PS. I'll be trying to take lots of photos which you can follow/see on Flickr stream here
Have a fab time. Keep us posted on your gift buying (I have a gluten free in law too) xo
Thankyou! All I managed to get (so far) was a box of gluten free chocolate cookies from Whole Foods.
I agree have a lovely time and good luck with your Christmas shopping.
Thanks Gill!
HAVE A BLAST! And good Luck with your shopping!
Thanks Lisa, nearly all done!
Enjoy your time in London and the Christmas shopping adventures! I can't wait to visit there in the next couple of years.
Thank you! I have sore feet from so much walking!
Have fun Laura. It sounds like a blast!
Thank you!
I want to check out London so badly! Enjoy your time there =)
Thanks Janine – hope you get there soon!
