Yesterday was a bit of a blur, as it was our first day here, but we did manage to sneak in a decent walk around the West End and a peek at the marvellous Priscilla, Queen of the Desert. No photography in the theatre, of course, but some of the most brilliant, colourful costuming I’ve ever seen, and wonderful performances all round.

And speaking of Arthur Slade, he’ll be a featured presenter at SiWC 2010 this October. The deadline for the Surrey International Writers’ Conference Writing Contest is fast approaching — have you sent your entries in yet? More than $1000 in prizes and publication with each category.

I’m off to prowl old London. More soon…
