Looking forward to the summer

shpicnic is on Saturday 18 July. It's held in London and I stay overnight (due to the trains I can't get home if I stay for the evening). I had been planning on having a couple of days in London, probably the week before, staying on a Wednesday and Thursday to make the most of the theatre opportunities. So, I thought, why not combine the two, add the Friday night (not that much more expensive than a return train ticket) and have an extra day to do things.
Which means I have booked the Waterloo Travelodge for four nights. Again, not the cheapest, but only by about £20 for the four days. And it's close to the National Theatre and the Old Vic. And not far from the tube station.
So now I can wait and see which plays are on this summer. One thing I am definitely getting a ticket for is Matthew Bourne's The Car Man. And then there are museums, and other exhibitions.
And when I'm sitting at work, struggling with all the new pension stuff - which have been given to me because "someone has to do it" I can remind myself that there are good things to look forward to.
