As we woke up, I was panicking. Panicking that we wouldn't be able to make the showing of Wicked that day, as I hadn't managed to keep the surprise and now she was looking forward to it.
Oh, I had been at Levi's house for four days before this day but there were very standard days - waking up, sorting out the horses in the stables, entertaining the kids, eating and then back to bed. To be honest these days were just as good because we were together. I say were because I'm writing this as I'm on my train home. How I wish I could be travelling back to hers rather than back home. Oops, I forgot something! On the Sunday we went to Maidstone (her nearest town) because she had to go to Specsavers for lenses, but they ordered the wrong ones. Stupid Specsavers! As we waited around for them to tell us they'd fucked, we had food! Food is a big thing for us, we love food!
Anyway back to Febuary, 19th, we rushed around knowing we had to get the 0928 train to London Victoria and us being us we hate getting up early. When we got into London - yes, we made the train - we went to McDonalds. We made the infamous Maccies breakfast! Levi went first, she wanted a bacon and egg McMuffin - she ended up with a sausage and egg as we got there two mins before they changed the menus - I wanted that! Then when I wanted what she had just been given, I got given a double sausage and egg McMuffin because she'd just had the last single sausage one.
Now to Wicked. I queued. I got to the till. No more day tickets. Sad face. Go outside. Complain. Realise we could've got other tickets. Went back (I'd only waked around the corner). Got tickets - and for only £10 more. Yay, we were going to see Wicked!
But first...
Both of us wanted the loo as well as a drink, so because of having a few hours to spare we journeyed to Oxford Circus. After a Starbucks, we ended up in Hamleys. We love Hamley's.
After playing with the toys, we knew that we wouldn't have time to do a walk down Southbank after the show as we planned to go to Chipotle and She bar. But before catching the tube to Waterloo, we HAD to go to Hummingbird Bakery.
So now with our cupcakes in hand it was off to off to Waterloo!
Levi had her camera on her so she was incredibly camera happy, and we got photo-bombed by a seagull.
Before we headed back, we spotted a garden with a cute water fountain, only to discover that it was the St Thomas Hospital garden, so we also got a photo there.
And then found our own lock bridge in London.
But then it was more rushing because we hadn't realised how we had let the time get away from us, so back to wicked!
For some reason I had thought that. It should've taken us longer to get back to Victoria, but we had half an hour to kill before going in to the theatre when we had arrived back to Victoria station. Which could only mean one thing, to the pub! Yes we eat and drink a lot! But we like food and drink!
Eventually we made it to our seats in the theatre after queuing outside and buying a program each! Actually I'm now reminded that I have something for Levi in my bag that I meant to give her, oh well she will have to wait!
After the show we were in awe, Williemijn Verkaik's voice was amazing! It was so powerful and emotional, we have both listened to the soundtrack maaaaaany times but nothing can explain her voice. We were both in tears at many points, but defying gravity... Woah!
Now off to Chipotle!
Mmmmmm..... More food! Burrito!
At this point my phone died so trying to explain to a friend where we were was amusing, considering she lives in London she has no idea where anywhere is. About half an hour after we arrived there, she found us, which meant onwards to She!
I had a rough idea where it was, but it was hidden so well that it took 10-15minutes to actually find it. Eventually, we found it and it was so chic and sexy - the bar staff were gorgeous too! All three of us noticed!
After a drink, a catch up and walking the wrong way to the station, we made our way home.
The day way perfect.
