So we woke up today to rain. I went for a long walk into the downtown from our house (took about 1 hour). Then I did some quick shopping and I was home by 11 because right before I left, we bought tickets for a 2:30 matinee of Wicked. So we got all gussied up for the theater and headed down via the train into the city. We all loved it. It had quite a different spin on the story and there were a few very good songs in the musical that Scott wants to download to his Nano. Both girls loved it (I wonder if we can buy a patch since it was offered in DC for girl scouts?) We also hung out at the Victoria train station and had a quick bite to eat since we arrived early to the show. That was very amusing. Scott ordered milk for the girls to share and the dialogue went something like this Scott: “I’d like a glass of milk” – Pub worker1 – “Milk?”, Scott – “Yes, Milk” Pub worker 1 – “Milk?” Scott- “Yes, Milk, the white drink” Pub worker number 2 – “Milk” Scott – “Yes, milk from cows” Pubworker #2 – “Oh milk” And then proceeded to pour a glass of cream-like milk of which the girls drank 2 sips. It was quite comical. The pubworkers were actually immigrants from Eastern Europe.
Then we hurried home because we had invited our next door neighbor over for dinner as a thank you for all of the help she has given us. Scott and the girls went to Tesco while I went home to start cooking. We had Shepards pie and she had seconds because she liked it so much – quite a complement coming from someone from Scotland. I owe it all to the American Heart Association cookbook. We also got all of the gossip about the owner of the house we are renting. It explained a lot about the condition of the house. It was a nice night. The girls were tired and excused themselves to go to bed. She couldn’t believe it.
