THURSDAY

Went to see the amazing show "The harder they come" at the barbican theatre
The 1971 remake of the cult Jamaican musical featuring Jimmy Cliff
Took the mother as I knew it was her fav movie-although i haven’t seen it
So when we arrived i asked for a brief synopsis of the story
Which made her repeatedly say "I can’t believe you haven’t seen it" - to which i kept replying "I’M ONLY 22-it came out in 1971!"
well it was an amazing evening filled with skanking, bogals. wining and reggae classics
At the end everyone-old young black white and yellow were all on their feet dancing and singing along in pure reggae harmony!!
ALL FOR £10 -CAN YOU BELIEVE IT!! great value!-ended it all on one of the last trains home with a fillet-o-fish in hand.

FRIDAY

I WAS EDUCATED IN ’CARLUCCIOS’ the amazing Italian restaurant!
For everybody that knows about it-i know im late-for everybody that doesn’t you need to check it out!
AND THE DESSERTS-don’t get me started!!!!
CHOCOLATE BREAD AND BUTTER PUDDING-ITALIAN STYLIE [MADE WITH PANETTONE]
Start to finish-all 3 courses were fantastic!! I experienced a complete culinary high-fueled by my drunkness on food-it tasted great and i felt it-imma go back just to take pics of that dessert!!
SATURDAY
![](http://i46.photobucket.com/albums/f103/GYNelle/TICKET1.jpg)
Went to "Into the hoods" showing at the Novello theatre
FIRST OF ALL CAN I MENTION:: When i went to pick up my tickets i was informed
"Miss Leon your seats have been upgraded!"
to which i pulled my fist down and said "boop boop!"
as it never happens to me-and always the guy in the suit infront!-back to the show
Advertised as a hip-hop musical
It was a novel visual and audio pleasure-in which well known and loved beats ranging from hip-hop to R’n’B applied suitably to the storyline of the performance.
A performance of complete dance-street/break and some ballet - sick chromatography and comic timing - left me laughing and wowing all at the same time so i just sat forward with my mouth open for the whole of the show.
Think it finishes this week so cop a ticket if you can!!
