Okay so once again I
have had an incredibly dull week so I do apologise.
But, when the
weather is cloudy and cold with an annoyingly high chance of rain I
find myself not wanting to go into the city and instead wanting to
sit on the sofa and watch crappy daytime tv, so that's basically what
I did all week.
Wednesday was the
first day I actually did something, because I had to get the train
back to London, so off Lucy and I went in the car to the station,
where I arrived about two seconds too late. Yes just for a change I
missed my train, although this actually worked out a lot better,
because I heard from the lovely man in the station shop that they
were giving away free England rugby shirts on the waterfront, so off
I went (with my suitcase) to get my free shirt. Now I did get some
dodgy looks when people heard my accent, but I pulled the whole “Oh
I work and live in England this year and my Dad is english and I have
a UK passport so I'm basically one of you just with a weird accent”
and they seemed to accept that. So when I finally got on the train it
was with a £65 top that I got for free, so I think it's safe to say
that I was stoked!
Now this may shock
some of you, but on Thursday I was up before 7am.. I know it shocked
me too. This was because I wanted to go into Leicester Square to see
if I could get a ticket to a show. So off I went into London in the
morning rush hour traffic which was not fun. Once I arrived at
Victoria I decided to walk to the ticket booth rather than get the
tube (mainly because I didn't want to have to deal with that many
people) and thankfully the rain held off until I got to the booth. So
by the time the booth opened at 10am, I was the second person in the
queue which meant my efforts of getting ready by 8am weren't wasted.
And in even better news than my queue placement, I got tickets to two
shows – Matilda on Thursday night (after it being highly
recommended by Sue and Lucy) and the Lion King on Friday night (after
it being recommended by Sarah and Charlie)- which I was stoked with.
After my success at
the ticket place I was – just for a change- in the mood to do a bit
of shopping.. So off I went to Oxford street (only because it was
early and therefore a lot less busy) and to the Rugby World Cup
store, where I got the All Blacks playing jersey! That way I felt
like I hadn't betrayed my country quite so badly (now let's just hope
they don't loose!).
That night it was
musical time, so off I went to the Cambidge theatre to see Matilda. I
wasn't to sure what I was expecting, but whatever I thought I would
see, the show was 100% better. I couldn't get over how good it was!
It had me in fits off laughter and leaving me speechless at some of
the performances and I could go on about it for hours, but in short
it was spectacular!

Friday was another
lazy day, with me only leaving the house in the afternoon when it was
time to head to the theatre again, but this time for the Lion King.
Now we've all seen the Lion King, and if you're like me you know all
the words to the songs and spent most of your childhood watching it,
so seeing it brought to life on the stage immediately took me back
to being a little kid. I couldn't get over the costumes – each one
was a work of art in itself, with the person being fully transformed
into an animal without it being cheesy or tacky. Now obviously I have
no photos of this because you're not allowed to take them, but i'm
sure if you google it, you'll see what I mean. I think it's safe to
say that I was devastated when the show finished, and I wanted to see
it again straight away, as I did with the other two I saw, but sadly
that's not how the West End works, so off I went home humming the
songs on the way..
And I do apologise
when I say that's basically all I have done this week! As I mentioned
the weather has been shocking, and it has been raining all weekend,
so I haven't exactly felt like going outside, so I haven't....
So then, that's all
for this week!
