(London) Weekend

Emily spends a long weekend (Fri-Tue) in Villefranche-sur-mer with sis, and making preparations for the life-changing Big Event July 2+3. So, while connected through MSN, phone, text and/or mail (mostly for getting reassurance of various details and items surrounding the Big Event that they have arranged for), I will have one of the last weekends reserved to myself.
This afternoon I will be with friends in Regent's Park - weather with its typical British caprioles and trademark unpredictability, naturelement. I'm getting so sick of Britons and their weather that I ache already for the day when our occasional weekend trips from Paris will become rare, and we instead will seek out places such as Brussels, Lyon, Geneva or Nice.

Ahead of July we have lined up (and got tickets for) a few more events, which include Marianne Faithfull, Sons & Daughters, Melissa auf der Maur and - a true gem - Elgar's birthplace in Worcestershire on June 2, included a concert of Chinese pianist Di Xao for the master's birthday celebration. June 18th we'll be in the Barbican for a performance of the Pina Bausch modern ballet performance. Seen them years ago in NY (SUNY, Westchester Co.), and they've only gotten better, I am told.

Signing off for the weekend,
