Chicago

The nearest thing to visiting the city of Chicago ;last Tuesday I finally got to see 'All that jazz' performed live in the Chicago musical.

Lopburi "King Narai the Great" fair

Yesterday I took the train to Lopburi to visit the "King Narai the Great" fair;it was far more interesting and spectacular than I'd imagined:the colourful historical parade,the light and sound shows,the old style market stalls the gardens and the fireworks displays.

A Cold Spell in Thailand!

A fairly cold spell of weather has hit Thailand in the last few days;a cold fron from China bringing frost to the mountains and hills of Chiang Mai.
For me it's a welcome relief from the usual hot and humid weather especially in the evening and at night.

Final Days of the Holidays

On the last day of my time in London Tony and me went to the Ian Fleming/James Bond exhibition at the Imperial War Museum http://london.iwm.org.uk/upload/package/fleming/highlights.html
and later on in the evening saw the comedy
"The Thirty Nine Steps".http://www.spike.com/ifilmdetail/2904590/share

Concert at St.Martins in the Fields

Mum,Tony and me saw in the new year with some classical music;a concert at St.Martins in the Fields.The first part of the concert was quite unusual with modern pieces,more like the background music for a film,and the final part by Hayden was more traditional.

New Year's Eve 2008

Celebrated New Year's Eve by seeing the London Eye fireworks from Lambeth Bridge;good but the bangs didn't seem particularly very loud.
