After getting back from Budapest, I had a relaxing week of the London spring. It was amazing to see all the cherry trees blossom. They take about a week each, and stagger for a little over a month. There are two streets nearby our place where one blooms at the start of march and the other at the start of April. I think the one that blooms earlier gets more sun, and the one that blooms later has older larger trees as well. Some of them are a vibrant pink, while most are white. Their petals create small drifts along the street that I love to see and sometimes I’ll grab a handful of petals and toss them in the air.

Monday was rehearsal with RS1, and we learned the last song for the term.

Tuesday I went to Moulin Rouge with the TodayTix last minute tickets. It was pretty good, and they did a really good job with the Jukebox musical style in the same vein as the movie. They had a lot more songs they sprinkled in that worked really well with the story telling.

Wednesday I did a gear check on all my dry suit equipment, since I finally got all the different parts I needed together. It worked really well, and I just need to get a bit more lead weights to have everything I need all together, although I only need the lead if we do lots of dives without having ready access to a dive center. It was also nice to hang out with the dive club after the pool session.

I stayed in Thursday and Friday, but on Saturday I had people over for Karaoke. It was a good mix of people with some from dive club and some from RS1 choir. I need to work on my queueing system for next time, but I still think the youtube system is the way to go.

Sunday was a Mercato Mayfair performance, and it was nice. We did a bit of learning new songs for the Star Trek late at the science museum. The “I’m the X” song is nice, but I don’t really care for the Klingon Warrior Anthem. I don’t think it is meant to be something that is liked anyway.
