it’s next to picadilly circus…
I had a fab day at Reuters…I sat with the sports desk this morning….I picked the sports producer’s brain about European football…That’s soccer, to all you Yanks. Apparently, you’re stuck with one team for life – through better or worse. When I asked him why he didn’t switch his allegiance to a more successful team – since his own club was doing horribly – he shot back at me “That’s when they need us most!” The producer worked on a package from Malibu, Cali – a surfing competition…damn, it looks warm and beautiful in Cali…this morning – on my way to work and without an umbrella…it rained….badly…il pleut comme une vache qui pisse! So, I had some Cali homesickness going on….for the morning….
I also sat down with Reuters Reports – a crew that takes care of thirty second voice over packages. I may get a chance to produce some of these spots. No worries, I’ll put up a link if that is the case.
This weekend – we found a lovely Catholic Church, Westminister Cathedral. It’s the headquarters for the Roman Catholic faith in London. Don’t confuse it with Wesminister Abbey – that’s where all the dead kings and poets go. The Cathedral has a bunch of dead saints. A lovely mass, in English, with Latin chanting. It also has a kitchen in the basement – serving coffee, pastries and hot meals.
We checked out the Tower of London and Westminister Abbey on Saturday. Have plenty of pix from both…Will post later.
