Had an easy morning, doing bits and pieces around the flat. Uploaded lots of new covers to my web site and added some other info too -- you can find the links on my message board news forum at: NEWS FORUM

Then went to see a play called "All About My Mother" at the Old Vic, which is based on a Pedro Almodovar film. A great cast, wonderful sets, and a top-notch script made for an intriguing afternoon's viewing. Only criticism would be that it goes on too long -- it could easily have been shaved by half an hour. Unfortunately that's a flaw of many plays these days -- theatres seem to think that they'll be shortchanging customers if plays run less than two and a half hours!!!

After popping back to the flat to check my emails, I met up with my friend Maiko, who is over on a business trip from Japan. We went to the OXO tower, where we had dinner. It was my first time in there and I was impressed -- a very stylish restaurant, great views, and nice food. Enjoyed catching up with Maiko. Afterwards we walked back along the river to Embankment, where we parted company -- so, with a bit of exercise under my belt, I don't feel TOO guilty for eating so much food!!! I must say, I'm enjoying my relaxing time in London -- this is a magnificent city when you have the free time to appreciate it!!
