Last weekend's tours were great but I decided I needed more down time this weekend. So I spent a little more time than usual on the couch with my tea and a book. This is the view from my usual reading seat.
I did eventually venture out - just as it started to rain. After a few hours of wandering around for a couple hours I needed a bit of nourishment - Ploughman's lunch at the Fromagerie in Marylebone. I love a good ploughmans. You'd think that the ploughman would want his lunch in the quick and easy to eat sandwich format but I'm glad he didn't. I love a plate of deconstructed goodies to pair up in various bitefuls. And I couldn't leave without a little fromage of my own from their little cheese room.
Later I took myself to see War Horse. I think Bill wasn't interested in this one because there are "puppets". That was the best part - seeing them bring three men bring a horse to life on the stage. It was easy to completely forget that the men are there although I did enjoy focusing on the mechanics of making the horse sad/scared/run/jump/etc. Sorry all I could get was a picture of the empty stage before the show.
I ended the weekend seeing 12 Years a Slave. After war commissioned horses and kidnapped and enslaved people I think I'm ready for a comedy!!!
