….stays in Camelot!

Except I have to tell you about it…..it was J’s birthday last weekend and I bought him tickets for us to go and see Spamalot in the West End. For anyone who doesn’t know, this is the musical based on Monty Python’s film The Holy Grail.

We are both big Monty Python fans and I love The Holy Grail but we weren’t sure what the musical would be like…..it was brilliant! By the interval we had both laughed so much that our faces hurt.

All the best bits from the film were there …. “are you suggesting coconuts migrate” “not at all, they could be carried” “What? A swallow carrying a coconut?” “It could grip it by the husk!” “It’s not a question of where he grips it! It’s a simple question of weight ratios! A five ounce bird could not carry a one pound coconut”

The french soldiers were wonderful- “I don’t want to talk to you no more, you empty headed animal food
trough wiper. I fart in your general direction. Your mother was a
hamster and your father smelt of elderberries.”

Dennis “Listen, strange women lyin’ in ponds distributin’ swords is no basis
for a system of government. Supreme executive power derives from a
mandate from the masses, not from some farcical aquatic ceremony.”

We had a fantastic night out and Jonathan bought me killer rabbit slippers and a t-shirt (I’m not dead yet) for my birthday which comes up in a couple of weeks -

Here I am in my t-shirt knitting socks
