Last night I braved the cold and crossed the IJ to go and see one of my favourite bands Frightened Rabbit at the Paradiso Noord. A total contrast to the Ara Malikian concert from Saturday; both fabulous performances with one common thread being that both frontmen oozed character and presence.
This morning it is see oh el dee. Minus three on the weather app, though I pronounced it as in the title when I saw it.
Didn’t fancy going anywhere there may be exposed ground and a potential ice field so stuck pretty close to home, zigzagging through the canal ring shopping streets that run like a web between the waterways. Back and forth as far as Leidsegracht then back via Keizersgracht and Prinsengracht.
