Nearly the end of 2013...
So, things are quite good at the moment.
I've had some time off over Christmas (no work until January 6th!!) so I've had time to do things I want to do. I wrote a short story today which I'm actually happy with and might enter for some writing competitions. I had a great weekend in London, during which I wandered around Covent Garden, did some random shopping in Oxford Street and saw Matilda the Musical which was brilliant.
I'm really enjoying the Roald Dahl inspired musicals which have sprung up recently. I saw Charlie and the Chocolate Factory back in September (which was hilarious) and it's hard to say which is better. Matilda is much darker, which I like. There are a lot of themes running through it, such as life not being what you expect it to be when you're young and facing up to bullies. It goes from being funny to sad to scary and the child actors are really talented. Tim Minchin wrote the musical score and the some of the songs are quite catchy. As I grew up reading Roald Dahl books, it's quite nostalgic to see these coming back.
I am now looking forward to New Years Eve (which always ends up being over hyped and over priced) but I'm still not sure what I'm doing yet. Hope everyone had a good Christmas :)
