From 'La Mole' to Penge

This week-end was spent (again!) entirely at home, apart from a quick sortie to the local garden centre/cafe' this afternoon.
I was lazy and we spent lots of time watching telly!
I'd like to say that I have our American trip all under control but it's not quite as well planned as previous ones: maybe it's a sign of aging but I seem almost unable to concentrate long enough to write down a proper itinerary. I'm sure that it will come together in the end. Plus it's not as if we were travelling to the Amazons.

I'm starting to get excited about it, although I am also very excited about the upcoming episode of the Great British Bake-off (the charity version) with Jennifer Saunders, Lulu, Joanna Lumley and Dame Edna!

Talking of telly, on Friday I tried to get tickets for a recording at the Hammersmith Apollo of a BBC special for the 60 years of Eurovision. Tickets sold like hotcakes and they were not cheap. £63 for a standing ticket in the stall (I don't think so!). I've tried the slightly cheaper - and seated - circle tickets but by the time I entered the captcha string there were no tickets available (and I tried a few times). Maybe it's for the best to watch it on telly.

After all our little trip to the theatre with Michael on Friday night gave me a bit of a headache due to the loud music (I confess that at one moment I thought that I couldn't deal with the noise and wanted to run out - but of course being in the middle of the row, one would rather pass out that disturb other people. Not that everybody was that considerate: the guy next to me spilled his drink over me and, by way of an apology, said that he didn't do it on purpose because after all it was vodka, and not just a soft drink!)

Oh yes, so the theatre. We went to see


at the Leicester Square Theatre, and it was good fun. Apart from the excessive volume. And a few drunk people who made a show of themselves. I did tut and rolled my eyes a few times.





Spring seems to be on its way.






Hopefully by the time we'll be back from our trip, it will be warmer and sunnier.
I'm looking forward to sow my flowers seeds.

This week I'm seeing the ENT specialist on Tuesday. I'm giving the naked yoga a miss because of the upcoming trip and because I think we're spending too much time on our knees during the class (LOL!) and my left knee has suffered from it.
The teacher said that I can get out of the yoga class as much as I want and that there's no limit. Poppycock, I say. Break your tendon when you're almost 50 and you'll change your mind!
