Reporting on Feb 17-19th

The LC students that live in Manson #12 invited us to dinner on Sunday, the 17th. They made homemade quiche and salad and crepes. It was super yummy and we enjoyed hanging out and playing the category game with them. Such great people.

Monday evening, Erik, Ryan and I went to a musical called Showstoppers. It was performed in a small auditorium at the Royal Albert Hall. It was an improvisational musical with one director, 5 actors and 3 musicians. The director asked for us to holler out ideas for an unlikely setting for a musical. Three things were chosen for us to vote on: a pickle jar, the Royal Albert Hall and a department store. We voted for "Pickle Jar" and we came up with title "Life of Brine". It was hilarious to see the story that they came up with: it included a revolution, 2 pickles leaving the jar for a time and interacting with some courgettes (zucchinis) in the store and all sorts of craziness. They sang quite a few songs in the style of musicals that the audience suggested. They were so good.

Tuesday, Ryan went out wandering on his own to downtown. He had a nice time, but was tired from all the walking. This evening we had the last group of LC students over for pizza, salad and raspberry trifle. It was fun, as usual. We played "Bananagrams", including Erik's crazy creative way.

Vikki arrives on Wed, Feb 20th, so I had asked FIE for a cot for her to sleep on. While we were gone, they came and put it in our living room. It was a playpen!!! I guess "cot" has a different meaning in "English English"! So we asked them for a bigger bed. Too funny.
