 OMG AMAZING!!!! Best time EVER!
Well, pretty much. As far as I can be bothered to remember.

Oddly enough, I have only one picture of elendiari22  (or indeed, me. Obviously there were far more interesting things to see.)

I'm sorry! Well, at least I posted!

You wouldn't know from this that we must have met about 3 hours before, if that, would you?

It depends what you mean by 'opera related'. We didn't actually see any opera, unless you count me singing outside a Chinese Restaurant on the Earl's Court Road for Ann, Mr Marwalk and a few of Ann's friends (Jay of Lasgellen, paranoidangel and... somebody else, called Margaret from Germany); the first thing we did was go down to see the Royal Opera House, but really there wasn't much to see if you weren't going in, which we weren't- there's a big giftshop, but apart from that, if you're not going in, there's a nice frontage on the wrong side for the square, and then a bare marble lobby, all seemingly presenting the message 'Do you have a ticket? Then GET OUT.'

And we also looked at the outside, and gift shop, and some of the lobby of the Albert Hall (the gift shop is smaller, but it's beautiful on the outside, apart from the fact that it's wrapped in plastic sheeting on the front, the gift shop is much smaller and we didn't really see any more...)... and apart from that... well, we hung about in Covent Garden, but that's more a district of shops and restaurants than anything else (though we saw a string quintet, who were very good, and the Colosseum (home of English National Opera)... and had dinner there twice. And I found out an awful lot about Johanas Kaufmann from Christie, so that's operatic, I suppose...

I would tell you who Margaret is, but this isn't locked and I don't want to blow her LJ cover. :) Will e-mail.

It sounds like you had a wonderful time! I am jealous of people meeting people in far-off places [not as far for you, obviously], although inevitably I end up more quiet and introverty than I mean to be cause I am so very terrible and awkward at New Person Live Interaction. Course after a certain point, you can't shut me up.
