Thursday . . .

Thursday is a school day, so there isn't as much going on. Class was interesting in that we had a speaker come in and talk about Ayurveda, which means, "The Science of Life." It has been around from over 5,000 years, so I wouldn't call it a fad. Some of it I could kind of get, but some of it is a little out there for me.

Our class had dinner together and headed to a show. The class was going to see "Priscilla," but before I knew that, I was able to buy a ticket to "One Man, Two Guvnors," which just opened Tuesday. It is interesting that when a show opens, they only have about 3-4 days to rehearse with the full set. Then, they have 5 or 6 preview nights before they have the "press night." For this show, press night is this coming Tuesday which means that I was at one of the preview nights. Tickets were much cheaper and I had an amazing seat! It was such a fun show. A lot of physical humor and I thoroughly enjoyed it!

This picture is the view from the Waterloo Bridge as I was walking back from the National Theatre! Have I mentioned that I love London?

I'm glad to have done something really fun tonight because it is my last show for the week. Tomorrow, I'm heading out of town to North of London. Compassionate Friends is a worldwide support organization for parents who have lost children. They are having a "Supportive Weekend" this weekend at Whirlow Grange, which is a beautiful conference and retreat center. I am looking forward to a slow weekend in such beautiful surroundings and I think that it will be a good time to share my life with Christopher with some people who understand my loss.

I doubt that I'll have internet access over the weekend, so there probably won't be an update until Monday!
