A great day!

Today we had an excellent day!

So we started off with French toast, which I have been gradually perfecting over the past 3 weekends. I think I've got the hang of it now, so my promise is that anyone from Aus that comes over to stay with us, will get free french toast for breakfast :-)

So anyway, the highlight of our day was that our good friends Debs and Kenneth came to London to visit. They've been living in Leeds for the past 8 months or so and have been touring around Europe recently.

so what do 2 young couples do in London to pass the time?



After buying four of these, we went to the Notting Hill markets again for a bit to pass the time.

but then.....

yup! we saw our first Musical since coming here. it was absolutely Brilliant. having listened to the soundtrack before, I got excited when the songs I knew started up. The story line is different to what we expected, but we really loved it!! it was great not really knowing what it was going to be about. I highly recommend it to anyone who gets a chance to see it.

We saw the Matinee at 2:30 and got out at about 5:30 ish. the "half price ticket" booth had only 25% off for the tickets, but it was still cheaper and we got excellent seats in the stalls close to the stage.

Afterwards we went to Belgo again and I finally got a photo of the Mussels which I just had to get again:



here's some more photos:





it was absolutely great seeing good friends in this place where we don't know anyone :-) it was kind of sad to say goodbye at the end of the day.



in other news, we saw the Bourne Ultimatum last night - very very good. We loved the whole trilogy. it's like the anti-Bond.. Bond has his gadgets and his suave and you always know he's going to win, but with Bourne, there's no gadgetry, just Bourne. Very cool.
