its been a while!

We've been back for just over a week now. Its Monday morning and I took the day off cos I was supposed to have surgery (biopsy of a lump in my jaw + removal of 3 wisdom teeth) but it was canceled. So here I am with no excuses as to why I can't update the blog.
We had 4 nights in Singapore after leaving London, which was fairly enjoyable but we kinda just wanted to get home, we were pretty travel weary by that stage. Here are some shots of the Zoo, which was definitely worth the visit.




Also a few pics from our last few days in London with Tim and Celia:



Its been a pretty full on last week or so, got back from Singapore last Saturday, then straight to work 8am Monday morning for both of us! luckily it was short week - thanks Canterbury - but, in keeping with our never-ending busyness we traveled up to Blenheim on Thursday night and got back yesterday. whew! its actually just as well I'm not working this morning..still got unpacking from the last 2 months to do.
Here are some pics from Blenheim:

still singing...

The unforgettable story of forgiveness, redemption, love...ahhh. The Westend production of this was everything I hoped it would be! We had such high up seats it was kind of like having a birds eye view of the stage but who cares... we could still see everything and of course the most important, hear all the songs. Absolute highlight was Jean Valjeans "Bring Him Home". Just beautiful. Fantines "I Dreamed a Dream" didn't disappoint either. Some of Javerts songs were not what I'd expected though, a pity since he's one of my favorite charactors. Eponine was gorgeous and her "On My Own" was really good. It was all really good...
