ASH Report - Day 10

It's my last full day here in the UK.  Tomorrow I wake up, have a little breakfast and check out of my temporary home and head to Heathrow.  I have checked and re-checked.  My flight is still counting down to take off - I love that Virgin Atlantic does that.  I have packed...and had to buy a new bag to fit all the stuff that I bought over here.  Decided that it was my last night in town and I had to see another show.  I was out earlier - looking around for a new bag and ended up right near the Dominion Theater where We Will Rock You is playing.  My sister is in love with Queen and that show and didn't get to see it when she was over last summer.  I decided to go and see it for her. 

I wasn't expecting much - most shows set around a group or artists catalog of songs just makes for a nice sing along for the audience and a bunch of groupies that just love the music.  I was mistaken a little.  The show actually has a little of a heart.  It's definitely different and not just a bunch of Queen songs strung together - well, it is, but there's actually a story and a plot there, if contrived at times.

So now, I'm sitting in the hotel, uploading the last of the photos to facebook and blogging away and am struck that both shows I've seen in the last two days are ones that revolve around our desire to find someone to share our lives with.  To make that connection in life - to have someone to share the good and bad with.  I was just thinking today as I wandered around on my last day here, that, with all this extra time here, it would have been a great trip to have shared with someone...alas, I'm here solo.
