Possible Harry Potter Sighting
I was walking past St. Pancras / King's Cross station on the way to the British Library to see if, at long last, they had the Beowulf manuscript on display, when I thought I caught a glimpse of a flying car, of all things, circling around the clock tower behind me.
Then Delys and I went into King's Cross Station and found the famous Platform 9 3/4. Alas, the cart wouldn't push all the way in. I expect we needed a ticket for the Hogwart's Express.

This Time Last Year
We've happened upon a dreary and rainy London this spring, although everyone from the BBC weather people to persons on the street will say the UK is still in a serious drought situation. Whereas last year we had cool but unseasonably sunny weather, with a total of three or four rainy days, this year in six days we've been here, we've had rain every single day. Yesterday afternoon around Leicester Square, where we went to see Noel Coward's Hay Fever, we waded into a sea of multicoloured umbrellas held up by hundreds and hundreds of people--just down the street from the stage revival of Singing in the Rain.

London Calling
Squared Away is back in the saddle after a long hiatus on the occasion of another spring to be spent directing BYU's London Theatre Program. Keep up with our activities on my daily posts.
