"Don't cry for me Argentina..."
Hello!
Hope you all had a great weekend and that the weather was better wherever you are than it was in London. The weather here has been pretty crap recently. We had a really nice spell a week or two ago when it was hot and sunny...but its been pretty cold, grey and rainy in the last week or two - just like winter.
Anyway, Fiona and I had a fantastic time on Friday night. After a drink after work with friends the two of us went out for dinner and then to Evita, at the west end. It was a great show, with loads of Argentine Tango, other dancing and great music. Elena Roger was a superb Eva Peron, and her version of "Don't cry for me Argentina," was amazing. Che was also brilliant, barely off stage, singing in a large amount of the songs and also a real star of the show.
The rest of the weekend was pretty quiet. I watch three games of rugby on Saturday (the best of which, I'm disappointed to say, was the English Premiership final). Although the Blues played well in parts, they faded badly and we beaten by a better Sharks team. The Crusaders were awful, and beaten by a team that only knows how to win ugly. Effective, but a stain on rugby - much to the disappointment of Bulls fans I'm sure.
The rest of the weekend was watching a bit more footie and doing the REALLY exiting tasks like housework. Work is still going well, Fiona is meeting up with her Aunt today for a coffee etc, and life keeps going as normal.
Fascinating political events back home with the leadership poll turning up a new top dog after 8 years, and David Bain's conviction being quashed. Was good to see the Blair saga finally come to and end which his announcement that he is to resign next month, with Gordon Brown taking over. Makes for a very interesting year next year.
Less than a month until we leave for Scandinavia - can't wait! :-)
