It was my birthday last weekend and I have been off on leave all week and had a wonderful time. No work, lots of sun and plenty of chocolate and ice cream.
For my birthday I got two knitting books from the girls at work and a pom pom maker which looks great and means I do not have to make bits of cardboard any more. I have to say I have not been knitting much as I have not been here too much.
I received tickets from my husband to see Wicked which is the show all about the witches from the Wizard of Oz and what happened to them before the melting. I have to say it was fantastic but it really is a girlie show to see and not too much for the boys. The scenes how ever were really impressive and I did try to take a picture for Tim to see them but they didn't come out. All I can say is there was a dragon hanging over the stage that would light up and blow fire at times through out the show. wow is all I can say about that.
We had a gorgeous room but the bed was two singles pushed together so I spent the night on the hard lump of the join of the beds but I didn't mind any of that if it meant I could have a proper hotel power shower. We only have a bath at home so a 
power shower and a top quality hotel power shower was just the best. I could have stayed in there for hours. On the 2nd day we decided we would go to the London Zoo. This was nice but not the best zoo I have ever been to. I still maintain that was the New Orleans zoo befor
e Hurricane Katrina but this still quite good. I loved how they had the monkeys in an enclosure that you could walk around and if they felt like it they could jump on you. I so wanted this to happen. There was a photographer there giving the little monkeys hard boiled painted eggs for them to play with and this was so cute until they dropped the egg and all ran away. This what the picture shows but I could not get close enough.
I have been knitting. I have started and finished a project with out stopping and changing to another because I was bored. I am quite pleased with the pirates jumper but it was my first go at placing a pattern and you can tell I have not done this before.
