Well, I finally got internet connection. Hooray. I was beginning to have communication withdrawals. I searched and I fiddled and I hunted and finally found connection.
I spent my first day in London catching up on much needed sleep. I was not sleeping well prior to my departure and despite the fact that I had a real bed on the plane (major luxury complete with fluffy pillows and a cozy comforter), I slept no more than one hour!
At least I was able to rest laying down with eyes closed, even if I did not sleep.
This evening, Peter, Mummy and I went to see the actor Edward Fox reciting T.S. Elliot's "Four Quartets."
It was quite amazing as he declaimed all four lengthy tomes by heart, no reading from a book.
It is so funny how my sons think I am such a nerd for a) going to a poetry evening and b) actually enjoying it.
I have my first boyfriend, Martin Bergman, to thank for my appreciation of great literature. I wonder if he realizes just how much I learned from him and what a positive influence he was on me.
Now he does!
I shall close with my favorite quote from "Little Gidding".
"We shall not cease from exploration
And the end of all out exploring
Will be to arrive where we started
And to know the place for the first time".
