Go Eric! Go Eric! Go Eric!

Here is Eric Saade’s superlative Eurovision 2011 semi-final performance… And now all eyes are on Saturday night….he’s done the hard yards, he has a terrific song and a brilliant presentation….but can he do it? Can he bring Eurovision back to Sweden? As I was showering and getting ready for work this morning, I was anxiously [...]

Australia Day 2011

We had a terrific Australia Day this year with a bunch of friends at the Huntsbury hotel. It could have been a disaster since we’d organised for the day to be at our regular haunt, the Lewisham Hotel. Yoda and I had to go to IKEA first thing in the morning and, with luck and [...]

More Liesbeth in Sydney

It was a very rainy day in Sydney yesterday so we concentrated on indoor activities. Our international visitor wanted to see some contemporary art so we went to the Art Gallery of New South Wales and had a fab guided tour from a volunteer named Caroline. Caroline was just fantastic. After the tour we further [...]

An absolute blast at the Midnight Shift

Who would have thought Thursday night at the Midnight Shift would be such a blast? James & I had an absolutely terrific time there last night, arriving at about 11pm and not leaving until 2am or whenever they stopped serving I thought I’d landed back in Oxford Street in the 80s. When Gay venues were [...]

Bumming around Brum

I’ve  just spent the weekend in Birmingham and am on a train returning to London. This time there *is* a Coach B and my reserved seat actually exists! The Ibis Hotel turned out to be a very good choice. It was clean, modern and reasonably priced. It was also centrally located near the main “Bullring” [...]

Hallå Hela Pressen (Hello all the Press) at Victoria’s

The word “Schlager” translates as “pop” according to Google. But that isn’t quite an accurate definition. Wikipedia describes it thusly: “Schlager (German Schlager, loosely translated as a “hit”) is a style of popular music that is prevalent in Central and Northern Europe, in particular Germany, Austria, Croatia, Switzerland, the Netherlands, Belgium and Scandinavia, but also [...]

I’m too tired to write anything

New Year’s Eve has done me in. I’m completely knackered and, after getting home at 6.30am, have spent most of the day in bed asleep. James and I met at 7.30pm and the night finished at 5.30am te next morning. I got home at 6.30am. Whilst I wasn’t particularly smashed, I was/am zonked and in [...]

Socialising with the Adelaide boys!

Yoda and I had a fabulous time last night catching up with Darren, David & his partner Ben at the Hampshire Hotel. Paul K was supposed to come along but had some family dramas that changed his plans. It was wonderful to meet David’s partner Ben who really is a lovely guy. Darren was his [...]

Time to get back in the saddle again

Good lord! I sat on a saddle last night….and I think I liked it! Last night was my first experience of the Midnight Shift’s new ‘Saddle Bar’ and I was bloody impressed. They’ve completely reinvented the space upstairs. It’s sort of painted a bit like an old western town. Wine Barrels for tables, funky stools [...]
