Last week was dominated by my excitement at seeing David Tennant! Anyone who knows me is well aware that I think he's absolutely gorgeous so the chance to see him close up was not to be missed. I was at the London Film Festival catching a good Spanish film called 'Three Days with the Family' made with new actors and technical staff. I enjoyed this although I was hoping to get my ear in with Spanish and it was in Catalan so more difficult to follow. The London Film Festival is a brilliant event with hundred of films of all genres and nationalities packed into a few weeks in October. So many stars were in town there were red carpets rolling out all the time!
On the way out I came across a huge crowd waiting along the red carpet to see the stars of 'Glorious 39' arrive. Bill Nighy, Jenny Agutter, Hugh Bonneville came and went and then the screams started for David (not just me!) See photo for closeness but it's a bit blurry due to all the other flashes going off....
The same afternoon I got 'wristbanded' as I was passing Leicester Square and gained access to the special night time party to celebrate the launch of the Michael Jackson film 'This is it' We saw videos of Michael's career on the huge screens and all kinds of folk interviewed on stage as part of the red carpet - Westlife, Harry Connick Jnr, Scarey Spice, JLS, Diversity, Tao Cruz, Peter Andre...... More screaming but this time not from me.
Thursday saw this month's Book Slam at Notting Hill's Tabernacle and the star was undoubtedly Roger McGough with his witty, insightful and accessible poetry read with charm and warmth.
There's not been too much time for eating out this week but I did spend a fun evening at the Chepstow in Notting Hill which is one of my favourite local bars. We had a few drinks and then got caught up in their weekly quiz and had we joined properly, might have done rather well but who knows.....
That's all for this week.
Bye for now.
