Watching a bit of TV the other night we came across Top Gear with Jeff Goldblum as the guest of the week talking about his play, Prisoner of Second Avenue, looked at each other and thought, why not! That's the wonderful thing about living in London! So we booked some cheap theatre tickets and headed out yesterday to see the play at the Vaudeville and explore Soho afterwards.
The play was very good, Jeff Goldblum is perfectly cast as a quirky, eccentric New Yorker who has a nervous breakdown.
Then it was off for a wander around rainy Soho for some window shopping and food. Despite it being "summer" here, it was about 19 and rained all afternoon. A few people lately have recommended Cha Cha Moon in Kingly Court near Carnaby St so thought we'd check it out. It's by the same people who came up with the Wagamama concept, but I have to say I enjoyed the food far more. Cheap, full of flavour and lovely Malaysian style dishes which seem to be hard to come by in London (unless I'm looking in the wrong places!). 
We followed this up with another romantic wander in the rain under the umbrella and came across SNOG, a frozen yoghurt place that does natural, green tea or chocolate yoghurt with toppings of your choice (photo of the ceiling in SNOG). The chocolate with fresh raspberries was delicious! And fat free :)
Heading home through Earl's Court we saw this woman dodging the crowds with what looked like all of her possessions, piled up with suitcases and the two dogs! And I think it's a struggle getting on the tube in the mornings with just myself, how she managed I'll never know!
