On Thursday we went to the musical 'Wicked'. Based on Gregory Maguire’s novel it tells the untold story of the Witches of Oz,and why one came to be called ‘good’ and the other ‘wicked’. It has won over 20 major international theatre awards so as you can guess it was really good.
Today we went to Hyde Park for the Red Bull Flugtag day. This is where people invent things with the idea that they will glide further than other teams when jumping off a bridge into water and it has to hold a team member. As well as that they are judged on a short performance before jumping into the water. There was the giant swan that did a giant nose dive and then sunk, a plane made of balloons and a yellow submarine. We had a good day sitting amongst the 80,000 other people. We have a video of the day but I will have to pester Paul a bit until he puts the video software onto the computer.
Over the May bank holiday we went to the Gatecrasher summer sound system which is a music festival we saw The Prodigy, Paul Okenfold and lots of other DJs. It really felt much more like a winter festival than a summer one with the amount of wind, rain and mud that was there. Was great to get out of London for a weekend. Sorry bout some of the pics, turns out that copying photos from facebook doesn't give the best result......ill try to get Paul to replace them with the originals off his laptop!
