one of my happiest childhood memories is of watching the sound of music repeatedly. you could even track technology's development through the means with which i watched it. from video cassettes (gosh! does anyone else remember those?!) to laser disks (sigh, now i'm giving away my age) to VCD and then DVD. the only constant was my choice of musical, which should probably have clued my indulgent parents in on my OCD. actually, they thought i'd aspergers and i'm adamant that everyone no matter how normal on the surface, does fall somewhere on the autism spectrum. hah. lengthy preamble aside, you cannot imagine how absolutely psyched i was to watch the sound of music in the open air theatre at regents park. quite embarrassingly, i can almost recite the lines of the movie verbatim, and it took every ounce of self-restraint not to do just that during the performance. wish i could have said the same for husband dearest. who was bopping along and singing under his breath :) cute like anything but goodness me i don't think the fabulous couple next to him were too amused.
and because theatre times always conflict with dinner time, the mister has been with me long enough to know how hangry (hungry-angry) i get. so he made sure i was well fed and watered at brgr&co before we took a slow walk to the park.
here's our incredibly good value tea. three sliders (lobster, chicken, beef!), the yummiest fries, a dessert selection with milkshake, brownie, apple crumble and trifle, a glass of bubbly and home made iced tea! my tummy was singing before the hills were alive with the sound of music ;)
