Have found a place to stay for the next few weeks in Cricklewood (NW London)! Load off the mind for the timebeing. Nice 2 bedroom house sharing with the owner. Moving on Sunday.
Went to see Les Miserables yesterday afternoon. My favourite musical. What a gorgeous Marius they had! I could never really work out why Cosette and Eponine both liked Marius as he came across as being quite wimpy in the show I watched 9 years ago. This one on the other hand was like Orlando Bloom but can sing and act... : )
I got the seat on the end in the front row. The guy at the box office suggested it and said that all I would miss out on was some of the actors' feet. Well, maybe for a tall person but for this short-arse here, everytime someone knelt down, died (quite often as almost everyone dies) or stood at the back of the stage, I couldn't see them. Sat on my jumper after the intermission but it only helped a little bit. Still loved it, though.
The couple next to me were from Scotland and in London for a holiday. This was the 5th of 8 shows they are seeing in 1 week! The tremendous stamina! She said that their record is 12 shows in a week! Ridiculous! That's about 6 hours a day everyday for a week. I can barely cope with 1 show. Work isn't that tough.

Hi Frances - great to hear that you've found a home for a while. You'll find it heaps better with a steady base. Don't forget that sofa bed Vicki mentioned! Not that I'll get a chance to travel for a while. Pity - after seeing your photos, I'm desperate to go to Wales.
PS If you think London is hot now - just wait until Summer. Ugh!
