Hi All,
I hope you are all well and taking it easy.
I have had no internet for the past two weeks as our share house internet provider decided to close up shop without telling us. So we needed to go with another provider, who in turn needed to send us a new router, and then we needed to work out how to work the new router. A phone call later to the Sky call centre and we were back in business.
So since my last post, I have been to Windsor and Edinburgh. Windsor was a day trip with my good friends Kathryn and Malc, and the Edinburgh trip was with another friend Ben and some other mates from my Christmas trip through parts of Europe. I'll get to that in a minute.
Windsor was lovely. Old castles, and lovely sleepy streets. We also came across Eton, the school that William and Harry went to. There was a sign at the gate saying No Trespasser's, but we went in quickly for a look, and a photo. We then walked to Windsor's sister and less attractive city where we quickly got the train back home.
Edinburgh was a weekend trip. Ben and I got a plane up on Saturday morning as I had rehearsals on the Friday night, and we were greeted by Adam from the tour. We went to Edinburgh Castle first, then met the girls, Loz and Emma, also from the Christmas trip, on the Royal Mile. Emma suggested we go to Camera Obscura which houses a big camera that reflected by a mirror, is projected then onto a big table inside. So you can look through the camera on the roof, which is projected onto a table at people and places around Edinburgh. I hope that makes sense. It was a lot of fun anyway. Camera Obsura also has other eye baffling illusions which also were alot of fun, and you can see some of them in my face book pictures.
We then had lunch and had a good catch up chat. Once that was done we were a little bleary eyed so we went back to the hotel for a rest. We organised to meet again for dinner and also a tour of Mary King's Close. A set of underground streets, inhabited years ago. This is also where the plague took place in Edinburgh. Eerie but very interesting to say the least.
We then went drinking, as you do in Edinburgh and had some good drinks and good dancing.
The next morning we got in Adam's car and toured around some small towns on the Edinburgh coast.
I then caught up with another friend for coffee and we also looked around more of the Royal mile.
Then it was time to go home. We got on the plane and arrived in London safely later that evening.
Other news...well I am still rehearsing for High Society which opens on April 13. We rehearse in the same rehearsal room as an upcoming West End show, Betty Blue Eyes which is exciting, so we see all the props and sets etc accruing each week.
Work is going well. I enjoy the people I work with, and I even got a glimpse of Matt Lucas, who is one half of the team who do Little Britain. He is hopefully gonna be around a bit more so i might see him again sometime. I love seeing celebrities. I see Alex Lloyd, who is somewhat of a has been, nearly every morning having coffee as I walk to work. He has let himself go alot so will be interesting to see what he does next.
Today I walked around Covent Garden, which is fast becoming my favourite area of London, and Camden Markets. I love just wondering around this city seeing what I can see. There is always a different/alternative/ambitious character to see. :) Especially in Camden.
Anyway I think that is all from me at the moment.
Keep in touch and tell me you're news!
Marcus
