It's been a few weeks since I last updated our blog on New Year's Eve. Unfortunately the next day Keith came down with a very nasty flu which took him out of commission for about 4 days. Immediately after he was well enough to get out of bed I came down with a minor flu and cold. So we have spent the last few weeks gradually getting over our respective illnesses. But we are both feeling much better now!
Since we were sick for about two weeks in a row we didn't get out much (which was ok by me since I was in the final stages of writing two papers that were due last week). But this past Friday we had tickets to see the play War Horse at the New London Theatre near Covent Garden. We bought our tickets back in November so we had been looking forward to seeing the show for quite a while, and we had excellent seats (we normally get the "cheap seats" so it was a treat to be on the same level as the stage for a change!) The show was absolutely fantastic, probably one of the best theatre experiences either of us has ever had. Everything about it was wonderful - the storyling, the amazing puppets, the cast, the staging, the music. If you haven't heard about it look up the trailer on youtube: www.youtube.com/watch?v=q-bni4QqSv4
And of course what post from England would be complete without mentioning the weather? As this post title suggests, there is no snow on the ground. The birds are singing, the skies are... well, the skies are grey and overcast 99% of the time but the temperature is mild. It definitely does not feel like my idea of January!
