Cinema Paradiso

Listening to the beautiful theme from one of my favorite films Cinema Paradiso directed by Giuseppe Tornatore with a soundtrack written by Ennio Morricone. Hits me in the heart. Haven't watched the film in over ten years. Need to see it again.

I remember being in France with my post-college boyfriend John and watching the European extended version of the film. Such a romantic film and uplifting soundtrack.

The Opening of St Pancras Station

Two of my favorite buildings in London are located next to each other and just a five minute walk from my office in Kings Cross. They are the British Library and St Pancras Station. Yesterday was the re-opening of St Pancras Station after decades of not being used. It is also the new launch point of Eurostar, the railway that can take you to Paris from London in a blink of an eye. In fact, maybe I'll shoot off at lunch time for a mid-day break in France.

Here are photos from yesterday's opening day.

Tonight I am attending a social entrepreneurship event at the British Library. Perhaps we will learn some French secrets to success?

Scotland is playing France in football and one of their biggest fans is in our living room.
