One way to the UK?

Tuesday was normal work, but Mara scored free tickets to see The Complete Abbreviated works of William Shakespeare – 37 plays in 39 minutes (probably got title wrong!). Cath who I work with has wanted to see it for ages, so I asked Mara to get two extra tickets and it all happened, so after work Cath and I went into Leicester Square and met up with Mara and Rob (Cath’s mate and also one of the improv performers) and we set off to get our tickets… first girl at theatre was crap and wanted printed evidence we had been given gratis tickets, so off to find net cafe, print the emails, and then back to theatre where second girl was really nice and had our bloody names down for tickets anyway! We grabbed a quick dinner at an American Diner (haha) and then went to see the show. On entering the Theatre, the usher was like oh no, yours are the double booked seats! Bloody front staff girls! Anyway he asked us to wait, and thanks to Rob’s asking we all got a free drink! The usher then seated us, in the very back row on the bench seats but lucky the Theatre was designed well and we could see everything! The show was hilarious, and everyone was constantly laughing, and joining in etc so that was a fun night out despite the hassles to begin with!

Wednesday was MARA’s 22ND BIRTHDAY! So we went into Leicester Square again and Sarah met us there and had some news of her own – her and Mike are engaged! That was great news to hear! We ended up celebrating Mara’s birthday at a Mexican place called something like Chiquitos and it was so great! With really good food and nice atmosphere, and a happy hour that finished at 8pm, and us getting there at half seven and having to wait 40 minutes for a table, took advantage of the happy hour with 2 glasses of cocktail each, and one big jug to share! I think we left there at about 10:30 or so, after a great night with some really nice fajitas and cocktails and two huge desserts shared between us, and a nice waited too!
