Not a super exciting weekend, but I do feel nice and relaxed today.
Friday night we went to see 'Fool for Love' - a play starring Hollywood star Juliette Lewis.
The best part of the night was, because the theatre was so undersold, we got bumped up to floor seats - fantastic! The show itself was ok. It was nice to see something different, but the storyline wasn't great. Juliette was very good though - and it was cool to see her in person.
Over the weekend we went to the 'International British Car Show.' It actually was pretty good! Top sightings: 3 corvette's (we both LOVE LOVE LOVE vettes), the 'super car paddock' (the most expensive car in there was a £450,000 ferrari, and getting to sit in a convertible lotus (wow was that thing hard to get in & out of)!
Also, we did the 'Land Rover Experience' which involvedqueuingg for half an hour to ride in a land rover over a course they set up with a professional driver. It was pretty amazing how that vehicle could so easily climb a huge incline, drive on a sideways angle, over a steep edge, and compensate for only being on 2 wheels at a time over some huge speed bumps.
I read in the paper this morning that we have another heat wave coming our way this week - I think it's about time I invested in one of those little personal fans to fan myself on the tube! Eekkk
Oh - and CONGRATS CONGRATS CONGRATS to our friends Cassie & Hamish on their recent engagement - we're so happy for you guys!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Supercar Paddock (i.e. awesome cars roped off so we couldn't touch them)
The most expensive car we saw that day
Pagani
Me in my lotus
I love jeep's!
The new corvette was HOT!
A cool concept car - the DJ car
Cool old restored Mercedes
Super cute mini - too bad the design was stickers & not painted on though
Cool concept car based on a jet (or so they say)
A display of all the parts from a racing car - one part per string!
Our dream land rover expedition
on the Land Rover experience
this one was scary!
It felt like we were going to tip when 2 of the wheels weren't touching anything!
It stopped part way up with no problem
Check out that air suspension! (and check out me talking like I know what I'm talking about!)
