Nick and I went to see Wicked yesterday. For the uninitiated, it tells the story of how the Wicked Witch of the West became wicked and the Good Witch of the North became good. It was fantastic and has made me look at the poor, green Elphaba in a totally different light! I shed several sets of tears, some excited, some sad and some overwhelmed by what a wonderful gift it was to send Nick and I there. I would recommend it to anyone, even those who are not obsessed by the Wizard of Oz! It even features a talking goat! What more can you ask?

A huge thank-you to the very kind person who bought us the tickets. Huge.

...Homepride fred has arrived...

Today my brother left for his adventure. Already I miss him, already I feel like he is a very long way away. It is a sad day, yet an exciting day. I hope they have the most fabulous time and come back safe and sound.

On the positive side...I found the best invention today. During a very hot day out at Port Lymne with the lovely Wayne and Tracie, we discovered that the shop was selling plastic glasses with peel off tops (like a yoghurt pot) full of lovely cold white wine! Wine for your lunch box! What a fabulous invention!
