maple leaves and funny accents

sorry for the lack of updates. i won't even try and come up with decent excuses as i've been on vacation since monday but i have been generally busy. the end of term was a nightmare in terms of trying to get stuff done. jesus christ superstar went fantastically. it may not be the most brilliant musical but it was really a great friendship experience to work with such a great cast who clearly cared a lot about their work and also understood that amateur theatre should be fun. unfortunately, my voice began to suffer after a term of uber-singing so my last couple of shows were largely a function of the drugs i was taken to bring down my throat swelling and pretend as if i didn't have a massive cold.

i also have come to discover that i have the sweetest significant other in the world. just before i left he took me to london and we spent a fantastic night in a posh boutique hotel and had dinner at mirrabelle which was so stunning. the wine was unbelievable and it was just so nice to have a great night out. plus spending it with someone i feel so comfortable with was also a big plus...

i've been back in canada since monday and it's really refreshing. the spring weather has been fantastic. i was somehow thinking that it was going to much colder than oxford but the weather has basically been identical to the warm spell that i left in the uk. it's been really great to re-connect with people. i appear to be much the same as i was when i left just filled with silly words and the occasional odd lilt! anyway, all is well. i will be in kw for all of next week and then it's off to the 'peg. look forward to seeing many of you in the coming days...
