A Day in the Life...

[ourdramaqueen]

I'm in a real in-between state - I've barely unpacked from Vienna, and only started putting together the clothes for London, though at least I have my outfits for the two times I'm going to see The King and I. I hope the Tube strike's aftermath will be over by the time I arrive in town tomorrow afternoon - thank goodness they didn't include Friday! Got my train tickets booked for the trip to/from the airport here, and also for my lunch appointment on Saturday with serenitysangel and F., a.k.a. the Queen of Evil. Can't wait! *bounce* :D

Also can't wait to see Daniel on stage!!! And pleasepleasepPLEASE let him come to the stage door!!! omg just thinking about the possibility of actually briefly meeting/talking to Daniel makes me all jalkjfalösdfjaösljd!!!


I started reading A Day in the Life, which at this point is still dealing with the families of Jake's parents, which - wow. I had no idea that they were *that* high in British high society, particularly on his mother's side. The opening was actually difficult to read, as it starts with a crucial and emotionally harrowing moment in the life of young Jake and his brother. I did read some tidbits from later in the book - definitely an interesting and at some times omg-this-can't-be-real read ahead! And the photos are interesting - Jake looks so much like his father. Yup, I know what travel lecture I'm taking.

But enough babbling - work to do... I'll TTY again at the latest next week!

Have a great time in London and fingers crossed for a meeting with Daniel! Just a FYI - very cold nights for the time of year, about 5C. Brrrr! Also heavy rain showers, but you know our British weather.

Thanks for the tip - rather cool here too right now, so what's new. Just hoping that the trend from my previous London visits holds and it won't be too rainy Fri and Sat evenings, so I won't ruin my nice shoes while walking from my hotel to the Royal Albert Hall and back! :)

Belated thank you! *hugs*

oh wow, you are the world traveler this summer! :) I am envious of you getting to see the King and I! :)

[ourdramaqueen.livejournal.com]

LOL indeed - and not too long ago I was thinking that I wouldn't be travelling much this year, apart from NZ. :)

Have a great time, fingers crossed you get to meet Daniel!

Thanks, all the finger crossing and good vibes sure helped! :D

OMG I envy you so, right now! Daniel Dae Kim as the King? I adore that play anyway, but it would be cool to see him in that role.

Have fun!

I loved it, and Daniel was wonderful and gorgeous. ♥

You busy lady, you... ;-) Won't be that long before you're heading off to NZ... Is it next month you're going? I'm green with envy... LOL

Have a great time in London - of course they had to get the Underground running again just for you! ;-D Hope you get to meet Daniel at the stage door and you have a wonderful time with your friends.

Leaving on 23rd! *bounce*

LOL yes, first when I heard about the strike I was a bit panicked, but then I saw it was only until Thursday... whoot! :D

[janejanejane.livejournal.com]

23rd... Not long now! Looking forward to hearing all about your adventures in Middle-earth :-)

I'm sure that it was William's paw-crossing that made the difference! :D
