Had a rare day off today. OK, on the back of a 4 day weekend (Easter), that may not sound like something to celebrate, but have been working like a demon and spent most of last week in Indy, so a bit jetlagged... and spend most of the weekend staying up all night and sleeping half the day.
Today I went to the Lion King with Mike and Ruth, and Emma and Simon, my God-children. Amazing show - the technology, and puppetry of the animals by the actors, is stunning - the opening five minutes completely takes your breath away. I am ashamed it has taken me so long to see... my mother has been raving about it for years.
So go. Splurge on the really good stall aisle seats and front royal circle. Or a box. And take children. It will cost a small mortgage. But the faces on your children (yours or borrowed) alone will be worth it. And you will find yourself entranced.
And for anyone who has been to Africa, it captures the colour and vibrancy of the savannah to perfection.
And to end a perfect afternoon, I walked home across Regents Park in lovely warm sunshine, then went back out for a run around the lake before the sun went down - the first run of the year in a light evening!
