Q-Continuum

Just back from a brilliant weekend away in London to see On The Town at the Coliseum. (Yes the musical based on the Gene Kelly/Frank Sinatra film). I wasn't sure it would transfer well onto the stage but how wrong I was.. it was brilliant !
The trip was something of a busman's holiday as I was working there all last week and for the next month - but it was a surprise arranged before I knew I would be in Chancery Lane for weeks and was really relaxing.
Don't think I've seen such an impressive production in years - well worth a visit when it does a (brief) UK tour later in the year.
But now just time to empty one suitcase and pack another - must try and get the soundtrack out of my head before the train journey tomorrow or they'll be throwing me off the train

Well what a week that was with the first of five weeks work in central London. Unfortunately, with the really short notice clashing with the start of the tourist season, Chelsea flower show etc etc work couldn't get me into a hotel this week !! Can you believe it ? I couldn't but then tried myself and found much the same.
Of course there were some "classy" establishments that I wouldn't touch with the proverbial barge pole... As a result this week had an unearthly commute from home to London each day. It made it a very long day with nothing but work, home, sleep and start again. How on earth do people do that for years - more importantly why? There have to be more important things than the money

Roll on five weeks time - and yes, I've got a bolt hole in King's Cross organised for the next week..
