Such a lovely day yesterday with Joy. First stop - Covent Garden for a spot of shopping then round the corner for lunch and then Aldwych Theatre for Top Hat. Joy described it as charming and that perfectly describes it. The costumes and scenery  were wonderful - taking you back to a golden age. Tom Chambers was also charming! It was a perfect musical for him. Maybe his voice could have been slightly better but his charm stole the show. Summer Strallen was a very beautiful leading lady with a wonderful voice. The songs were so familiar. We both commented how much our dad would have loved the show. It has some very funny one liners. I would thoroughly recommend it for a lovely afternoon out. We then walked back across the river to Waterloo - seeing London lit up with beautiful sparkling lights. We have the most beautiful capital city. Finding lost property at Waterloo was an interesting experience - if you ever need to know it is at the far end of the station down the escalator and then down a dark and creepy road! We had gone to collect Chloe's suitcase (another story). We were served by this rather odd fellow - at one point he just stood still holding my money in his hand staring into space. I questioned him and he said - just a minute and continued to stare away into the distance. He then mumbled something and disappeared to return with the suitcase. All in all a very odd experience. We then caught the very busy train home where we were entertained by a man calling what seemed like all the contacts in his phone book to ask -'how they were'. Many obviously cooking tea, or putting children to bed and not wanting to chat about how they were. He had such a loud voice which was unfortunate. 

Today - flowers, resting and Drs appointment.
