Monday evening.

...I still have a sore back, I'm still 'English pasty white' (not much sun lately!) and I'm still not working a regular job. That said, I have decided to say 'yes' to my friends and do things I might not normally do, even if I'm not too sure what those things are. Tonight Emma and I are off the 200m across the Green to the Richmond Theatre to see Grumpy Old Women. Not having followed the British tv scene, and hence not knowing most famous faces that I see on our street on a daily basis, I am going to the show tonight quite blind- although apparently it's supposed to be really funny and Emma is wetting her pants about it...we'll see!

It's actually quite nice not knowing who the famous people are that I pass by; I'm sure if I did I would follow them home and there would be several restraining orders out on me!...although I would not classify myself as a stalker, I think we all have those tendencies when it comes to people we 'think we know but don't'- people we've seen on tv, in movies and those whom we listen to on the radio. I can remember being a bit starstruck when I first came to London and saw both Matthew Perry and Hank Azaria walking out of the Ritz. I admit, I did follow them- (from the opposite side of the road at least) but was a bit let down when they walked normally, passed people on the street and carried bags of their own groceries. Where were the PA's and the huge entourage that 'all famous people' are supposed to have?! No where near the Ritz that day. I came home and told Hamish- BIG mistake. I thought he would have the coppers onto me that night. He told me to leave them in peace and I now understand that. Peace. Ahhhhh.

Anyways, Emma is almost here and I need slap some lippy on so I at least have colourful lips. Will add the review later.
