It's like a bloody monsoon out there! Topping off a truly miserable July, August's started in much the same depressing fashion.
To top it all, this evening our gang is booked to see La Cage Aux Folles...
...at the Open Air Theatre in Regent's Park!
Here's a most appropriate song for the day:
Keep your fingers crossed, dear reader, that it clears up this evening for the show!
Oh. Hmm. Oh dear. If you’re going to get what we’ve just had then it’s probably best to stay home.

How lucky were we?! The rain stopped as we were having our pre-theatre drinkies and food in the Wetherspoons at Baker Street station, and it stayed dry for the whole of the rest of the evening. It was a fab show (more of that later, no doubt). Jx
DeleteThe maid has been working in the kitchen with the light on, how depressing it that?
ReplyDeleteIn the words of Dinahmow - "the sky is a Pantone shade of Misery". And has been for far too long. Jx
DeleteYIKES! I hope that there's some contingency plan for a rain-out event, sweetpea! xoxo
ReplyDeleteThankfully, none was needed! Otherwise we would have been marooned in a sub-standard Wetherspoons for whole evening, which would have been a waste... Jx
DeleteCongrats on being dry for the show. I vividly remember a dear friend sharing that Eurythmics album and especially this song, I've loved ever since.
ReplyDeleteUnbelievably, that song is 40 years old!
DeleteChrist, I feel ancient... Jx
I see that the weather cooperated for you. So glad. I want the rain here… as usual this time of year but especially this year.
ReplyDeletePlease, take ours! We could swap. The UK could do with some warmth and sunshine. Jx
DeleteI lived and breathed this song when it came out. My manager at work bought the album for me for my birthday and I was SO HAPPY. It became the soundtrack to my life. P.S. we could use a little rain here, in Minnesota. I don't know how anything is surviving in this drought. Sorry about your La Cage tix :(
ReplyDeleteThe Eurythmics' Sweet Dreams and Touch albums were hardly ever off my turntables, either - alongside The Art of Falling Apart by Soft Cell, The Luxury Gap by Heaven 17, Let's Dance by David Bowie, Colour by Numbers by Culture Club and You and Me Both by Yazoo - all also released in the same year, forty years ago! Jx
DeleteSo fed up with all the rain and general gloom but a least the clouds broke for 'La Cage'.
ReplyDeleteThe weather is getting tiresome - but "the show must go on". And did! Jx
