We went out tonight, to His Majesty's Theatre to see a production of the long running play The Woman in Black. The theatre itself was a treat - opulent and decadent with gilded statuary and copious red velvet. Yet it had comfortable seats, something Jones Hall in Houston couldn't boast.
We went with a group from work, which was nice. Tickets were only 17 pounds 50, an amazing deal by North American theatre going standards.
They play itself was a horror/thriller and I am hoping the small bones in my left hand recover sufficiently from Fiona's tight squeezes. They played it quite well, with the foreboding sounds, good lighting and blood curdling screams. Well worth the ticket. I think we'll be seeing several more features in this particular theatre, as the Proclaimers are playing soon, as are several fairly interesting ballet productions.
We stopped at the Noose and Monkey afterward for a pint, as must be done after any social occasion - dinner, theatre, sports match, etc... I'm starting to wonder if one needs to suggest that "we grab a quick pint" after grabbing a quick pint?
Anyhoo, it felt good to get out of the house and be active again. We've been a little busy inside the house and work has been especially draining the last couple of weeks. Tomorrow we're out again to celebrate American Thanksgiving with Fiona's American Women of Aberdeen group. Never turn down turkey - my long standing motto. Maybe I can wrap some up for turkey sandwiches on Friday.
Cheers,
Rik

Happy American Thanksgiving to both of you. Wish you were here to help us eat (and Fiona to cook) our 38 pounder. We're going to be eating a lot of turkey!
God bless,
Adele
