A late birthday treat

Tired now - spent today in London, first at the NationalTheatre and then a bit of wondow shopping and a good meal.  all this was courtesy of my children. formy birthday this year they wanted me to go out for the day and we finally went out today.

the theatre was interesting. An arresting, well-acted,well-directed play called 'War in Thebes', a modern take on old mythology combined with the tragic events of war in Africa,  Thought provoking and very sad. It pleased me togo to a play that stays with me and gets me to think about the world in a different way.  So much of what I wastch on TV or see in the cinema is gone themoment I turn away from it. Thisplay was our subject of discussion during dinner and was a powerfulexperiennce.


And  now, we're home.  We'vespent the day out, a lovely day.  It's evening and I can feelmu energy waning.  I know there is much to do in preparation of our week inn France and alsoto get our house into some order, but once the sun goes down, I've had it.  I want to sleep, sleep,sleep and sleepsome more.  I love sleeping and the deliciousness of lying in clean sheets as the lethargic sensation of drowsiness overwhemsmeis a wonderful one. 

So, excuse  me while I go and do just that.
