Yesterday - as a mini vacation - I went with a couple of friends for a day out in London. I toured the National Gallery, which is much smaller than the Louvre, thank goodness, so I could easily make it through in an afternoon. I love those little audio things that tell you about the paintings! Makes such a difference.
Then we attended Andrew Lloyd Webber's Sunset Boulevard, my first West End show! (We bought the tickets in the morning for half price and were seated six rows back!). It was a fabulous production - very dark, but the talent is incredible. Unlike other shows where the orchestra and actors are distinct, the cast provided their own music, moving and acting at the same time they played. Wow!
And today I have begun the very long writing-up process, but I am feeling relaxed and excited! I know you all are praying for me, which means so much. My loved ones are always in my thoughts.
For a weather update, let's just say my winter boots have not made their last appearance for the term, I fear. Can this really count as spring? I am promised it will get better, but I am not holding out for a Florida summer :) Still, the daylight/cloudiness lasts much longer than in winter, so my mood is lifted!
