I have let my blogging slip of late which means I am now left with a wealth of stuff to talk about and will, no doubt, forget to mention something. I went to the Royal Opera House last Tuesday to see the ballet. It was a performance of Romeo & Juliet; the costumes were gorgeous, the music was beautiful, and the surroundings were amazing. There's always such an interesting mix of people at ballet performances and we were surrounded by couples in tuxedos & ballgowns, and tourists in jeans & t-shirts. I came away feeling thoroughly cultured.
...Musings
Ladybird Cocktails: I have always been a fan of cocktails, but I have to admit I have never found one that I could drink over again without getting sick of it; they're either too strong on alcohol or too sickly sweet. But that was all until I went to Ladybird Bar for my birthday. We started off the evening with a strawberry & raspberry daiquiri and 'pornstar fluffer' both of which were served in giant martini glasses, and were extremely tasty.
However the highlight for me was the 'Alice in Wonderland', I couldn't even tell you what was in it, except to say that it was delicious.
Chinatown Morning: I was running around town last Wednesday morning picking up a few bits for my mum's birthday (Happy Birthday mum!) and found myself in a weird place, Chinatown in the morning. Far from the usual gathering of tourists and locals bustling through, the place was empty except for a few shop owners and delivery vans, it was an oddly tranquil moment. The light was nice so I took a quick picture of the pretty lamps strung up to celebrate Chinese New Year.
The Shard: I have been meaning to talk about this for ages. I am unreasonably excited by this construction project. I think this is mostly because I go through London Bridge every time I go home and so I have been watching the building spring up from literally nowhere. However it has gotten to the point where I make sure I sit on the side of the train that will give me optimum views of the tower. Whatever you feel about it, it will be an impressive structure, the tallest building in London. And most importantly of all it will be South of the river.
