After two writing sessions yesterday, I walked down to Vauxhall Primary School to cast my vote for Boris Johnson. We'll have to wait until this evening to find out if he's our new Mayor of London.
In the evening, Mary and I went to the ENO to see The Merry Widow which is such fun, though even I couldn't help noticing that there were 70 people on stage wearing the most fantastic costumes for each of the three acts whereas the night before I'd watched Vanessa Redgrave all on her own in the centre of a stage. The production was quite excellent with some memorable performances by Alfie Boe, Fiona Murphy and Philip O'Brien. If light opera is your thing, this is an evening for you.

You what? Sorry, I really didn't expect you to cast the comedy vote, 'cause as amusing as he is, I really can't see him as the Mayor of London! I guess he'll get great "after dinner speaking arrangements" after his stint as Mayor but do you really think he has London on his mind?
Well Jeffrey
Labour took a thrashing all round the Tories won the day and Boris -SO what a splendid year so far
You doing well and your party the poor old Beeboids what can they write about now ?
Speaking of parties have I missed out on Krug and pie ?..again !
