Les Miserables

           Our city was so fortunate to be the first Canadian city to see the new set and staging of Les Mis. It was incredible. Now if I could hand-pick the actors/singers for each role and put them all together into a production it would be fantastique ! No one can match Colm Wilkinson for the role of Jean Val Jean. I was somewhat appalled at the dress of some of the theatre goers though. It is a night out at the theatre for goodness sake and a few looked like they had rolled off the couch and into their cars to arrive at the theatre in -------jean cutoffs !  Having my handicap permit made parking very convenient. The walk into the theatre was short and we were able to leave the parkade in less than 5 minutes ! Not using escalators in my daily life, I had  to think before I got on to position my feet correctly and remember which foot to lead with my cane in one hand and evening purse in the other.
       It was a good evening and a wonderful gift from my hubby to celebrate our anniversary.

       I have no idea what I will do today. Right now I am watching the Tour de France which I do every summer. I sit with my knitting, watching the tv and reading the website. I do love Phil Liggett.I still have items on my to do list from yesterday but I would like to group all the  squares into patches for the next 9 patch quilt. I have 4 quilt tops made ready to handquilt while I recuperate from my operation, might as well have a fifth !
The forecast is for rain starting today and lasting into tomorrow so it is doubtful I may get much done
in the gardens; maybe some deadheading will be all that I can manage.I need to finish trimming a Boston Fern of my daughter's that has lived here while she was waiting for her house to be built. She lived with my other daughter for the 6 months and did not have enough room there for all her plants. Fortunately  I have managed to keep them all alive, but the fern is quite straggly. The plants are to go to their new home  as soon as ED can figure out where to put them !
        Tour is over for today[ if I won the lottery, YS and I would be off to France to watch !] so I'll finish some reading and then try to accomplish some more chores before the day becomes busy.
