LUNCH CONCERTS ON WEDNESDAYS

For the people who doesn’t know but interested.Every Wednesday there is a lunch concert in Concertgebouw. Sometimes solo, sometimes a small orchestra, sometimes opera, sometimes the whole orchestra can be playing on lunch concerts. Free lunch concerts are starting at 12:30 sharp but if you like to take a better view you should go a bit earlier to wait on the line 5 min more and have that great half an hour break for your life every Wednesday..

Besides to the global warming we had this beautiful snow today. It might be something we should register for the possibility of not having it again the whole year or till the next year.

SHOT OF YOUR WORKSPACE

Hello all,

I need to document workspaces for a project I’m working on for a free magazine called LESS COMMON/MORE SENSE. It would be great if you could each take a shot of your workspace ie. desk, floor, bed. Whatever you consider it to be. If you think that outside is more your workspace, then cool. Take your things there and photograph them. I’m not fussed. If the shot is clear and of good lighting, that would be super. The more examples I get the better.I wish to collate them all and make something out of it.

All Best, Scott.
