Sleepy Sunday

Feeling very sleepy this morning as I had a really bad night's sleep. The hotel room on Friday night was very hot and I appear to have picked up a cough and a sore throat. By yesterday evening I was achy and feverish, fortunately the temperature has stabilised, now just achy.
Friday evening turned out to be much better than I was expecting. Fortunately my mood improved considerably once I met up with the others. We started with a meal at TGI Friday's - a place that's usually a bit hit and miss (or maybe that's just the Bluewater one?) Fortunately our meal was great - but very large and after a starter, main course and a couple of large cocktails we were all stuffed. A trip to the pub followed for a couple of drinks before it was time to go to the show. Mamma Mia was fantastic. Although very cheesy (but aren't most musicals?) the storyline was very watchable and funny and the way the songs were worked into the storyline was perfect. We we right at the back of the theatre, but fortunately it wasn't a large place and so we had a fantastic view and although high, I didn't get too dizzy. All of us had a fantastic evening - singing along and of course getting up for the song and dance section at the end. I would definitely go to see it again and I would guess there's no higher praise than that!
