The
Piazza Restaurant at the Royal Opera Housewas lovely, the Maître d charming and she soon found out we were twins sort of celebrating our birthday. (Hence the chocolate message )
The ballet was lovely not as charming as Don Quixote, but robust and dramatic with more death scenes you could shake a cod piece at

What a delightfully memorable couple of days, topped off with chocolate birthday confection. Sweet, in more ways than one!
ReplyDeleteA premature or belated welcome home!
Hugs!
I’m tired but it’s been fun
DeleteI am glad that all went according to plan and that you are on your way back to Welsh Wales having survived The Smoke once again. Lovely to spend quality time with your twin sister.
ReplyDeleteYes, enhanced by the celebrity breasts
DeleteHappy Birthday to the Twins!!! We need a picture of both - you and your sister - not a cheeky reply of the feline twins!
ReplyDeleteI hate ,my photo taken
DeleteI think there's a pic of John and Janet on the right sidebar, about 7 down from the top cartoon of John.
DeleteI completely understand John. I don't like my photo taken either. Glad you and your sis had a wonderful time. I enjoyed London also when we visited a few years ago. Your cod comment is hysterical!!! Thanks for the morning laugh!
DeleteAnd a good time was had by all! xx
ReplyDeleteIndeed
DeleteI’m so glad you and your twin got to celebrate together in such a big way!! I hope the doctors get your arm 💯% very soon. Sending peace and joy. Carol in Atlanta

wishing you and your sister a belated (I believe) Birthday! Lovely you could share time together...and yes...that Maitre De (sp)....provided her chocolate wishes as well! Though not sure you were able to partake of that...but the thought was just perfectly from the heart.

Delete"...you could shake a cod piece at." I love your sense of humor, John.
ReplyDeleteGreat birthday treat. I can't write cursive that well with a pen and ink much less chocolate.
ReplyDeleteIt all sounds wonderful and I'm so glad it went well.
ReplyDeleteSounds charming, happy birthday!
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday from a fellow twin ! Me and my identical sister share a special one this year . Yours sounded fun , you packed a lot in , we’re still deciding what to do . It’ll involve dogs xx
ReplyDeleteIt's good to celebrate birthdays over an extended period. Happy birthday.
ReplyDelete"with more death scenes you could shake a cod piece at" Hahahaha!
ReplyDeleteYes. This.
DeleteYeah, I loved that too! LOL
DeleteI think everyone in the world loves London but sadly not me. We were there a lot when we had our catamarin built in Southend on sea, the asshole of the earth. We had to buy all the bits for the boat in London at a time , 1989 when no one seamed to be working and it was hard to find a matching set of anything. The only other times I was in London was passing through Heathrow, a nasty experience. I was stopped once and accused of having plastic explosives! An hour later they apologized and our whole group were allowed to continue. Sadly, now I will never have the opportunity to see London as most people do. I am happy that you and Janet had a great time on your birthday weekend. Gigi
ReplyDeleteIt all sounds wonderful.
ReplyDeleteDid you get to eat the chocolate testicles? X
