I had a good evening at the theatre. Here’s a hint:

More on that tomorrow.

In other news, I’m quite irritated. Earlier this week they removed all the shower heads in the building where I live. They’re going to replace them, but no one knows when. It’s really tough not having a shower. Then today, the water in the area was shut off for 13 hours! Those of you who live in London will have seen the signs all over from Thames Water stating that London’s ancient Victorian water mains are being replaced little by little. Well, this seems like a swell project until they show up on your street. This is the second time they’ve cut the water supply. Thirteen hours without H2O is a bit extreme, don’tcha think? Showers are already impossible where I live, but today there was no bathing, hand-washing, water drinking or toilet-going either. Since all good things come in threes, here’s something else: It’s freeeeeeezing in London now and there’s no heat in this building at all.

Am I living in a Charles Dickens novel?

To ease my stress, I bought lavender bath salts this afternoon from Neal’s Yard. It’s after midnight now and I’m heading to the tub for a soak with some candles and a book. Yes, I actually have a bathtub for the first time in ages. Despite the current problems chez moi, this brings me to #3 in a continuing series called Pleasures of my New Home:

Taking a bath.

#1: Toast. #2: Proximity to cupcakes.
