I am back to Moldova for a couple of weeks. It is really hot here, 32C (90F) today. There will be a lot of swimming tomorrow.

Their former prime minister got nine years in prison for corruption today. People here say it is rubbish though and is all about one corrupt oligarch trying to destroy another one and become the only ruler.

We are driving to Greece from here in two weeks for a couple of days, then I am back to London on 21 July for two days and then it is back to Moldova for a week and on to Rome and Florence for three days and Andalusia for four days.

London, Paris and Copenhagen were fun. We had a great dinner at my brother's in Copenhagen. I drank a lot of wine in Paris. We were leaving London on Saturday and many roads were closed. Our cab driver told us it was because of the gay pride parade so I got out of the cab to snap a couple of pictures on our way to King's Cross. Some guys dressed as dogs and horses asked me if they could take a picture with me and I agreed. I get asked sometimes in Japan and China because I am very tall and very blond but not in London.

I have a lot of friends' entries to catch up on tomorrow evening.

The dogs and horses part is funny to me, as I'd imagine usually those people get asked if they could be photographed by/with the photographer.

I laughed too. Everyone was taking pictures of/with them and they wanted one with me. I thought "I hope I am not going to run into Elton John here, he will definitely want me to sign his t-shirt".

Ha!  Well everyone loves a tall blond I guess. 


Seems like you have a busy few days with much travel.

In Asia I am more of an "albino giant freak" than a tall blonde that everyone likes, ha ha. Why these guys wanted a picture I have no idea.

Yes most Asians are short with dark hair and eyes.  Dark bone straight hair.  So it's rare for them to see a tall blond. 


Maybe they thought you were some famous Actor/musician.
