I took my German professor, Dr. Howes, and his wife around yesterday. I had my first major London navigation fail of the trip, but forgetting that Tottenham Ct. Rd. and Charing Cross Rd. are in fact the same thing. Therefore, we had a little diversion via Regent's Street and Picadilly Circus on our way to Trafalgar Square. Once we finally saw Nelson, we headed into St. Martin's. The conductor of the evening's concert happened to be passing out fliers and came up to us. Dr. Howes said something about catching me in the act of networking. Just another example of my strange ability to be in the right place at the right time!
We had a bit of time before the National Gallery closed, so we headed there after tea in the crypt cafe of St. Martin's. A lot of the artwork has been moved around or sent off, so there were a lot of new things to see. My lover, M. de Norvins, is still there, though, so all is well.
Slept late this morning since I had nothing until LSO rehearsal at 4:30. Went to the city a bit beforehand so I could have my first proper pub grub. Toad-in-the-hole- one of my favo(u)rites!
Skipping out on tonight's LSO concert since I've heard them play 1/3 of the program(me) in 2 countries, 1/3 in 3 countries, and 1/3 last week. I think I'm going to call it an early night since I walked something like 12ish miles (19ish km.) yesterday. I could use some resting time.
Going to the Globe Theatre (Theater) on Friday evening to see Henry the 8th and Saturday to see Macbeth. London Symphony Chorus audition tomorrow evening and I have no idea what I'll be singing...

Thank you! I will pass this along. I am sure that it will be enjoyed!
I agree with Mom...I check every day to see if you've written about a new adventure.
