Kit and I were invited by Kit's paternal grandparents to join them and Kit's three spanish cousins for dinner and the theatre. Jane had booked a table in a tapas restaurant, and we were to see The Enchanted Pig at the Young Vic. Kit groaned about the choice of restaurant, as he insisted he didn't like spanish food. Thank goodness I gave up worrying about his eating ages ago. Meson Don Felipe was crowded, but the service was pretty good, and Kit just tucked in, devouring food he had never even seen before! Mussels and whitebait by the plateful, paella and prawns, and tortillas and olives. The only food left over was a plate of chips.
The show was terrific. Very imaginative, it was a modern sung-through opera which didn't stop the children from enjoying it hugely. A very modern libretto, with heaps of scatology, was guaranteed to appeal.
Kit finally got to bed at 11:30, having had a wonderful day.
