yippee! it's london

[purlewe]

hello everyone! it is dinner time in london and we have taken a break from filling our faces for a bit. We did lunch at a pub... darn if I can remember the name. Yummy roast beef and a tuna melt plus chips! but I should not have had lunch. My muesli for breakfast was keeping me full. We had breakfast and went for a walk to the RSC (royal shakespear company) to see if they have any returned tickets to All's Well. And found out why they are still sold out. JUDI DENCH is reprising her role. OMG!!! so no return tickets yet, but we can get in queue tomorrow for tix as they release 7 seats on the very last row of the top level at 9:30 am. I'll be in line. They also sell standing tickets for #5. it is like a 3 hr play, but if I cannot get a seat, I'll buy one of those and stand to see judi. She is a goddess! wish good thoughts for me. We went past trinity church (we plan on going in but really just walked about today) and past the physcians house (which we also plan on seeing tomorrow) and we went to the Nash house and the New house gardens. New house was William S' last house and where he died. it had a beatiful knot garden there and we met a nice man from houston and we helped him take a picture of himself and he took one of us. Very nice. then we went to tea at the hathaway tea room. Lovely lemon bun and chocolate muffin with enough tea to make me float back to the states. so we are calling it quits at the moment and trying to let ourselves stop eating long enough to digest. Sue is reading a book and I am knitting up either a scarf or a change purse (depends on if sue likes the look if it by the time I am through) with the wool that Amy gave me for my presy. It is such a lovely colored kool-aid wool. Sue thinks it looks like fruit loops. We both affect accents when we talk. I always do that. it is habit. I feel bad about it but they say imitation is the best form of flattery! and i do love things here. just wish it didn't cost so much.

i'll post new stuff when i can. hopefully there will be a lovely post about judi tomorrow.

Mmm, gardens.

You had offered at the last SnB to pick up some Colinette for me while you're in the UK. If that's still feasible and you get a chance, I'd love 300 grams of four-ply in kingfisher. If not, nisht, and I'll order it at some point. If yes, I'd be happy to bake you something (or some appropriate favor) in return. (That's not counting my paying for the yarn, of course.)

Sounds like fun. I'm sitting back reading and just wishing I was on vacation. Keep eating, who needs digestion :) You can digest when you get back to the states. That's my big vaca problem I eat like a piggy with all the god lush food and have to be rolled home like they did to Violet in Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory. oompa loompa doopa dee doo.

glad you like the wool. The fruity smell will go away too. I have another one that looks more like fruit loops, well now that they have blue loops in them.

Have a great time, relax and thanks for the bday greeting.
