Today is Chris's birthday. The celebrations started with a morning skype call back to Sydney and muffins for breakfast.
Then Chris was allowed to choose the days activities. First he chose to have a relax at the flat.
In the evening we had planned dinner at the Anchor Pub followed by Shakespeare's 'Much Ado about Nothing' at the Globe theatre. This play arguably was Jane Austen's inspiration for Pride and Prejudice, a bit of an ongoing theme !
Jo and I decided to go shopping while Chris was relaxing. We went to the King's road and had fun buying gym gear at Sweaty Betty's !! Also spent a lot of time at Peter Jones, it was so hot outside we just had to find somewhere to keep cool :-)
We had dinner at the Anchor which is really close to the Globe Theatre and has lots of character....rebuilt in 1676 after a fire in the area.

| This was the play we saw which was a lot of fun . It was a bit warm even at 10 pm... |
 |
| Its a beautiful Theatre...this is the stage before the play started... |
 |
| The seating is very basic, just benches so you need to hire cushions and back rests. |
Happy Birthday Chris - and many more to come! Looks like you guys had a lot of fun with the "last minute" activities of the day :-) Gorgeous pictures, as usual !!
