A hotel well suited for budget-travellers. Dining in Doetinchem is a pleasure with a particular taste for BBQ (due to the constant temperature of 28C all year round).

Niet dat dit op zich bijzonder is, hij doet dit bij iedereen die de voorstelling binnenloopt. Nice touch. Peter Faber is bij mij uiteraard onsterfelijk als de onvoermoeibare John Gisberts uit Schatjes! en het feit dat hij de vader speelde van Akkemay (whatever happened to her). Mannen van mijn leeftijd weten wel wie Akkemay is. Maarre, ik ging dus vanavond naar de voorstelling om de man te zien en het is inderdaad een genot om zo'n verteldier aan het werk te zien. Als iemand zo innemend kan vertellen gaat zo'n avond zo voorbij. Zoals altijd, je moet de recencies maar lezen, daar doe ik niet aan, rest mij allen dit van harte aan te raden.Wat ik wel een grappige ontwikkeling vind (maar ik ben geen theater-expert) zijn al die vraag- en antwoordsessies. Bij Carice was dit al zo (zij het niet met Carice) en ook bij deze voorstelling was er na afloop een vraag- en antwoordsessie. Dit blijf ik toch raar vinden. Wat vraag je dan? "Het telefoonnummer van Akkemay" ging door m'n hoofd, maar die vraag leek me te banaal. Zo heel wijfelend komen er dan zo een paar vraagjes maar het lijkt me zo genant. Wat nou als niemand een vraag stelt, toch een risico dat zo'n artiest loopt. Het zal je maar gebeuren in Doe-tin-chem. "Waarom maak je geen films meer" werd er gevraagd. "Omdat ze m'n kop nu wel gezien hebben" was het antwoord. Gelukkig verliep die vraag-antwoord fase goed en was Faber erg uitgebreid in z'n antwoorden. Qua energie verslaat deze krasse bijna 65-er met gemak zo ongeveer iedereen. Het was indrukwekkend zo iemand aan het werk te zien. 1401@www.minispace.nl/blog/ lifelog 2008-04-02T22:04:00+01:00 http://www.minispace.co.uk/blog/pivot/entry.php?id=1400 http://www.minispace.co.uk/blog/pivot/entry.php?id=1400#comm Ach ja, ik ben nu eenmaal een 80's teen ...

It's been a while since I visited Scotland and in October, I will be back for two weeks. Unfortunately for me, I will be joined by a person who's sport it is to climb hills. Sort of does it for fun. Strange. Weird. I have done my level-best to make clear to him that; 1. I'm Dutch and need oxygen above 50 metres and 2. am completely untrained.  Normally this scares off any experienced climber so I was sure it worked, but alas, not this one. He's been living in the UK for a while and has aqcuired their sense of humor. So I'm sure he takes a morbid delight in seeing me suffer in October. And there's nothing I can do about it.
