Home from London

We went back to the Two Magpies for brunch in our last morning in London. We bought a box of baklava from the recently opened and rather delightful The Baklava Company across the road from the café, and also a wee bunch of early daffodils, and left both in the flat as a thanks to Ally and Cat for their hospitality. Back in Scotland we have been catching up on useful stuff around the house and also enjoying a bit of socialising. We had a lovely dinner and evening at Heather and Ewan’s on Saturday and I had a very nice coffee and catch up with Hilary today. I also visited Alison on Monday, it was good to see her but I also felt so sad for her. 
Months ago I impulsively purchased tickets for “I Should Be So Lucky” a new musical based on the 1980s and 1990s hits by Stock Aitken and Waterman. This evening we went along to the King’s Theatre to see it and as I expected it had a really rubbish plot to cobble together the songs, and a hologram of Kylie Minogue which appeared in a mirror. In fact I even considered leaving. But as it went on, I was won over by the talented singing and dancing of the enthusiastic young cast, and by the end I was singing along with the rest of the audience to “Never Gonna Give You Up.”
