This week we happen to be watching a play almost every night. Last night we watched Jumpy, which was enjoyable, although I'm glad I spent two weeks living in the UK before watching it. I wouldn't have gotten most of the jokes if I hadn't spent time doing grocery shopping or on public transportation.
This weekend Caitlin and I hope to do the whole Sherlock tour in London, mostly by visiting the film sets used in the television show. Harry Potter tours will be done as well, although that requires a bit more planning and a bit more money.
Even though the Paralympics wrapped up on Sunday night with fireworks on the Thames, there are still Olympians scattered all over London. Positively infectious British patriotism has swept London and beyond because of the Olympics. You see them in their uniforms. Nearly all the officiants at the church services we attended have mentioned both events in their sermons. Last night a particularly patriotic dude dressed in silly patriotic clothing high-fived our entire group. People on the Tube are wrapped in Union Jacks. It's kind of fun.
Tonight we are watching an adaptation of "Servant of Two Masters", which I'm familiar with. We'll see how that goes.
