i don't remember where i last got up to...

ok so we arrived in london friday morning, we saw we will rock you - kicked butt as always
saturday, there was shopping. bad idea, cos it was manically busy - not fun.
saturady night was evita - very cool, seeing as i didn't know it (shock! horror! i show i didn't know!), and even though we were late and missed the first 10 minutes, i still enjoyed it.
SUNDAY - big day - we went and had lunch with an old friend of dad's and his family, which was nice, we haven't seen them in 12 years or something ridiculous like that - we then went to see more family friends, which was really lovely, they are some of my favourite people, and mum's god-daughter was there with her little baby girl, who is seriously a miracle child, cos she's just turned 2, but she was born 16 weeks early, so she's been in and out of hospital her whole life, but she's walking around now and starting to talk, and she's so gorgeous and smart and happy, it was really wonderful to see her out of hospital and doing so well! that was a really long sentence.
monday we all split off and did our own thing, i met up with my friend Mark from RADA (yet another one) which was AWESOME, how i love that boy! we just sat in a pub for a couple of hours and talked about EVERYTHING, tv, shows, acting, god, relationships (he's engaged), family, shoes, everything! and then on the way out we encountered a very interesting french drag queen who was hopelessly lost!
monday night. oh my. now if you've been following along with my blogs you'l already know that i love Wicked. it is my favourite show ever. and i saw it for the 3rd time on monday night, except this time it had Idina Menzel in it, who played the original lead in it, and won the tony for it, she was in the original cast of rent, and basically i love her to pieces. to see her live on stage just blew me away. it made the whole trip.
i'm just going to take a minute to contemplate the amazing-ness of idina. feel free to join me.


ahh.
OK so this morning (tuesday) me and mum hit even More shops, then met em and dad at one of our favourite restaurants here, it's a little italian place called Sale e Pepe, and it's just gorgeous, all the staff are so eccentric, always singing and dropping things and yelling at each other at italian, and the food is just so so so good. i'm stuffed.
i am currently sitting alone in the hotel while the others continue to shop, then we're having a lazy afternoon before going to see Spamalot tonight - it's the musical based on the Monty Python movie 'the Holy Grail', and me and dad saw it last year in new york, and i'm excited.
anywho, off i run - we're driving up to Glasgow tomorrow, so who knows when the next update shall be!
