Jour 4

 Already half of the holidays are over...  Since it is raining again today, I change my plans.  I was supposed to go to St-Albans because it is market day.  But visit à market in the rain is not so attractive for me.  So, I went shopping.  My intention was to go near St-Pancras station but beeause I took the wrong bus, I ended up on Oxford Street.  Oh well, I then went on Mark and Spencer for my second coffee of the day.  I found there some cute little things for my sweet girls.  I strolled from store to store and stopped at Selfridge for lunch.

I came back to my neighborhood. I did some grocery shopping and went inside to get ready for the highlight of my day: the concert at the Royal Albert Hall.  I left early because I know that with the tube strike, the traffic is quite intense. I took a good decision, because a bus ride that should take about 40 minutes, took 70 minutes this time. Fortunately I had planned it well and I arrived a little twenty minutes before the concert.  As soon as I enter the building I knew I was living a very special moment. 

But when I arrived in the box and I was able to admire the view of this magnificent concert hall, it really touched me.  I took lots of photos, but when I look at them, I realize that they do not represent the grandiose beauty of this building.

The concert started with the national anthem of Ukraine, as everybody stand up.  It was a very nice show with a symphonic orchestra and four singers. I realized that I didn't know much about the repertoire of Broadway musicals.  Sad to say, but one of the thoughts I had was that there was a lot of CO2 in that space.  It's something that would never have occurred to me before.  Sad...

But the most touching moment of the evening was the final. Day of my life, from Dirty Dancing.  Seeing everyone standing up singing together and then thinking it was normal before. I cried a lot.  I thought how lucky I am to have had the privilege to experience this.  

 

*I reassure my people. In my lodge, there was no one near me. And I wore the mask in all my travels.  Even sad having to mention it.  

Goodnight!
