I didn't say, but on 11th April we went to see Spamalot at De Montfort Hall. It was good, though I was feeling quite ill and didn't enjoy it as much as I probably should have. Phil Jupitus was Arthur, which is odd casting but worked surprisingly well. It was remarkable what they did with just 12 (I think) actors. It was all worked out so cleverly - chopping off limbs, etc. And the actress who played Guinevere was very good at singing in different styles. Looking at the website, I presume she was Jessica Martin. It was a good mix of old favourites (African or European Swallow, etc) and new stuff. No-where near as good as 'Monty Python and The Holy Grail' but a good tribute to the film. :)

This weekend we had a BBQ Saturday, making the most of the hot weather, then on Sunday we went to see BTCC at Donington Park for Rachel's birthday. It was very hot but I managed to avoid sunburn by applying copious amounts of lotion! Brilliant. The racing was quite fun - we were in a good position to see things like Jason Plato's dramatic crash. Remarkably they managed to fix his car for the next race. Also, saw other things like Formula Renault (with Josh Hill, Damon's son) and Renault Clio racing with Nick Hamilton, Lewis's brother. A good day out!
