One day at a time

Had breakfast at the hotel and then took my baggage down to reception to get a new room, but the room won't be ready until later on. So I went shopping at the Broadway shopping centre. One success was getting an international call package added to my phone account. I also bought a pair of shorts and a shirt for the theatre this evening. The new room is a great improvement over the first room, nice big bed and comfortable sofa. Unpacked and got ready for the Mary Poppins. The stage version of Mary Poppins was outstanding and I thoroughly enjoyed the performance. At the end Mary flys over the audience and right over my seat. Posted via Blogaway

Drove down to Avalon airport about 1pm, after dealing with some issues at home. The airport is in the middle of a big field and there is no distinction between long & short stay parking. Tried to get a boarding pass a couple of times using the voucher sent to my phone but it needed human intervention in the end to produce one. The plane did leave on time & the flight didn't feel any longer. It took a while to get to the hotel, with problems on the trains & when I arrived there were only twin rooms available. Unusual for me I made a fuss about it & will move tomorrow. I had a quiet evening, as I felt very tied, but I did chat to Alex via SMS about catching up. Posted via Blogaway

There can be only one way to describe the stage version of Mary Poppins.

Just completed the most unusual leadership course, that makes everyone attending consider what are the factors that make for an ethical and just society. The week has been challenging mentally and ethically, by making me personally challenge the way I perceive justice and the effects of my actions.

After a worrying few days, making sure everything was in place for settlement, in the end it came down to a voicemail message to say it had all gone through.

When I suffer from stress, my face breaks out in spots and areas of dry skin. At the moment it is particularly bad and painful. Plus it's not difficult to locate the source, the fear of having to read aloud and getting the ducks lined up for settlement on Friday.

Just been to see the sequel to The Phantom of the Opera. Fans of the original will be very disappointed. It's the usual tale of hideous beast loses the girl only to have her turn up again ten years later with husband and son in tow. It's not that difficult to see where this ship is sailing. The music was pleasant but not particularly memorable, whilst the set and costumes were outstanding. It looks amazing, shame about the storyline, lyrics and music.
