My Other Blog: December 2010

http://mjasmith3.blogspot.com/2010_12_01_archive.html

Infrequent pieces on people and places. Friday, 17 December 2010. Christmas is, in many ways, all about tradition. There are traditions the majority of us observe, and still others that we choose – at a family level, or on a personal level – to follow. I wrote last year. About one of mine, which is always reading. Might become a tradition for them too. Other traditions in our house may prove to be temporary until the girls grow up. One is watching the Sesame Street film. I guess you could call it a Chris...

My Other Blog: Celebrity Spotting

http://mjasmith3.blogspot.com/2014/02/celebrity-spotting.html

Infrequent pieces on people and places. Monday, 3 February 2014. Mike and I have a more purist view of the game: they have to be people spotted in an airport, on a plane or in an airport lounge. Mike's most recent spot was Sarah Ferguson. Mine was Noel Gallagher. My previous spots have included Richard Bacon and Sue Perkins. It's a mildly diverting game. When we came out, sixty-odd dollars lighter, it had started to drizzle. On the street we saw a big man riding a bike. He looked reasonably famil...In re...

My Other Blog: In The Early Morning Security Queue, Heathrow

http://mjasmith3.blogspot.com/2014/02/in-early-morning-security-queue-heathrow.html

Infrequent pieces on people and places. Saturday, 1 February 2014. In The Early Morning Security Queue, Heathrow. It's just after five in the morning and I'm fourth in line at the fast track security search queue at Heathrow's Terminal 5. Immediately in front of me is a young girl who is dressed as if she's about to head off to a jungle somewhere - sturdy boots,. Practical clothes, heavily-laden rucksack. In front of her are two large African-American women with big handbags and scarves and hats. Passive...

My Other Blog: August 2010

http://mjasmith3.blogspot.com/2010_08_01_archive.html

Infrequent pieces on people and places. Saturday, 28 August 2010. 1 Hotel Seattle, Brighton Marina. Okay, so it's not in the heart of the city (it's around a 30 minute walk – or see below), but it's a beautiful, modern hotel right in the heart of the Marina and thus escapes two major issues common to hotels in the city centre – noise (unless you dislike the sound of boat masts clacking) and lack of parking (there's a free carpark nearby). More info at my TripAdvisor review. Chitty Chitty Bang Bang. The B...

My Other Blog: September 2010

http://mjasmith3.blogspot.com/2010_09_01_archive.html

Infrequent pieces on people and places. Thursday, 23 September 2010. I visited Luxembourg City for work last week. Although much-maligned, it's a place worth exploring, as I found myself doing during a rare period of down-time. Here are three places that caught my attention. 1 Restaurant Pizzerie Bacchus. For €15 it was a steal, and probably the best pizza I've had since John's Pizzeria in Greenwich Village. 32, rue du Marché-aux-Herbes. 10, rue du Marché-aux-Herbes. 3 CD Buttek Beim Palais. Boxset in th...
