Cracking weekend

Yesterday continued what was a great weekend. Very nice walk round Richmond Park in the afternoon, dodging the dear who look a bit startled at the moment (well, they are all a bit shaggy and it's the annual cull, I'll excuse them) and chatting about wedding plans. Seems we have a date now, if not a venue. The plan at least is to book the venue provisionally today, then go and see it later this month again when it'll be a bit more finished, and also suss out the area some more for local hotels we can put people in. It's not a hardship - the surrounding area is just stunning so I can see a pleasant weekend coming up.

A early dinner out at the local Thai (always stunning food and brilliant service) was had before heading to the Wimbledon Theatre. It's funny, I can see it from my back door, it's less than 2 minutes walk away, and yet it's only the second time we've been. Anyway, it's all been done up and now gets the touring west end shows which has revitalised it. Last night, we had Omid Djalili, the Iranian British comedian ("the only Iranian comic - still 3 more than Germany!"). Very funny, although some of it is a little close to the "I shouldn't laugh at that but it's so true" line. Recommended though.
