Eating in London

Eating vegan (no cheese) would have been impossible in London - and Twiggy insisted on eating three meals a day. I ate a lot of mozarella and tomato; goat cheese salads and tortes; and other fattening stuff. Consequently I gained about ten pounds which I am working off. Getting back to exercise is helping, and not eating out.

I bought some nice books and learned a lot in the Children's Lit course. We had three field trips - British Library, V & A, and Oxford. Before the class we had a week of playing tourist and saw four plays. Touristing included Mme Toussaud's (very crowded especially around Michael Jackson and Obama), V & A Museum of Childhood, National Museum and Portrait Museum and the British Museum. I took lots of pictures and bought postcards when photos weren't allowed.

The plays were Stomp, The Calendar Girls and Oliver all of which we enjoyed. We also went to a new play, War Horse, which received rave reviews. The only good thing about it were the "puppet" horses worked by three people each. The play and the acting were overdone.

I am almost caught up. I only had one chance at e-mail so the accumulation was large.
