I've Got My Computer Back

Posted on March 14, 2008 at 02:18 PM

Goodness, it does seem a long time since I've been able to sit at my own computer. As I've not been able to access a computer whenever I wanted to, I've filled my time with other things. Knitting (obviously), catching up with some of the DVDs we've bought and never watched, read a book (Terry Pratchett's Going Postal).


Himself and I have also been away for a few days. We took our annual trip down to London. We went to The Appollo theatre to see Wicked The Musical, based on the book Wicked by Greg Maguire. Which was excellent and a completely different take on the story of The Wizard of Oz.


We also took the Pathfinder Tour's Buffer Puffer 6.1 train tour. A 15 hour train trip back down memory lane for train buffs (this was a treat for himself). We travelled first class behind two diesel engines that were built in 1964. I'm not a train enthusiast myself but even I was captured by the delightful coach accomodation. Himself and I sat in two upholstered wing backed chairs with a table between us on which was placed a brass lamp with a silk fringed lampshade. There was also carpet on the floor. Definitely not something you find nowadays.


Tomorrow I'm gong to bring you the review of the Hotel Chocolat Eggsellency egg that has just been tasted by everyone here at Domesticated Bloggage. More about that later.

I loved the book Wicked.
Did you get any good pictures to share of London? ;)

Welcome back - must be good to have acces to your computer again, I can just imagine.

Your adventures sound absolutely fascinating! Oooh!

Tami - I've stopped taking my camera as I'm always afraid of losing it on the journey. Knowing me I'd leave it behind on the train.

Mal - It is great to have the computer back. I'd really missed it.
