Heathrow The Hard Way



Bristol art

I’ve coming back from a refreshingly variated visit to England. Not only to Derby and Atjazz but on to Bristol and Luke aka Type (who did “The PL” together with JB).


Type Sun & Sundown

So today I was going home through gigantic Heathrow Airport. And I had done a bit of homework, at least enough to know that there was a Wagamama Restaurant in terminal 5 and a Krispy Kreme donuteria in terminal 3 (where I was travelling from). So I went past my actual stop and on to terminal 5, only to discover that Wagamama’s was on the other side of security, which disabled me from getting there.

So, on to terminal 3,past security and passport control, only to find out that Krispy Kreme was NOT on that side of security! What to do, what to do? I really wanted my original glazed donut, so I simply had to walk all the way around through arrivals, baggage claims, imigration services - who I got into a spidery and mighty confusing conversation with regarding where I was coming from and why I was at the imigration in the uk without travelling, having to confess how much trouble I was really prepared to go through just to get my donut.
Finally, after a detour of a good fourty minutes, I arrived at Krispy Kreme’s and got my sugary donut from obesity heaven - bliss.

A bonus was also that I got a bit of duck dumpling and kobe beef sashimi, teamed up with an ice cold Asahi at Yo Sushi to make up for the lack of a Wagamama. Now, I’m enjoying the sunny top side of the world in a Scandinavian Airlines seat, waiting to go home to my girl and pat her on her belly, just four weeks from giving birth now.

Next weekend: Poland.

Cheers

PS.Thanks ever so much, Nick, Martin and Luke for all the kindness, food (those two curries were really something Martin), pints and creativeness! See you all soon again.


Outlook from the Vegan Lesbo cafe where I had breakfast the first morning in Bristol.

Swedenshire - Derbyshire



I’m currently on an excursion to Derby, saying hi to Martin and Nick at Mantis (where Martin - Atjazz - released “Full Circle” with “Put It On” and “Underlined” on). So what to do in England? - Cook a curry!
Here is Martin chopping away in his kitchen.

Apart from the chili and garlic there’s a beautiful homemade paneer (cheese) on the choppingboard.

And what do you do when you’re all exhausted after cooking? You go banging out some lovely beats using synthesizers and, yes - art for art -, picture frames!

Name suggestions

The other day I realized that my baby is probably going to be born 2008-08-something, meaning that it will have the - for electronic producers - magic number 808 in the social security number.

At realizing this, I suggested the name Roland if it’s a boy. Miriam couldn’t have been less enthusiastic. Back to the drawingboard.

Five favourite whites

Maybe some day I will invite Reiner Trüby to do a
guestspot on the same topic, but until then I’ll give you my very favourite wines available in Sweden’s Systembolaget (the government run alcohol monopoly of Sweden).

5.Gobelsburger Grüner Veltliner
A favourite austrian grape and producer

4.Chateau Coucheroy, Bordeaux
Like a regular good wine, crisp and nice, but with an aftertaste that makes you long for the next sip.

3.Baron de Lestac, Bordeaux
Bit more demanding, oaky stuff. My kind of wine

2.Comte Lafond, Sancerre
Sancerre wines are mostly good, this is certainly no exeption.

1. Bonterra Chardonnay, California
Although KRAV-märkt could be thought to add an extra point, this is actually a stand out organic product. Oaky, heavy and a bit demanding, but definitely worth it.

Tomorrow I’m off to Derbyshire to meet my good friend Martin ‘Atjazz’ Iveson, spend some quality time, drink some prime english lager, go fishing, go mastering and who-knows-what.
