23 September 2010 George’s Marvellous Medicine

Yes with two LLs apparently. That’s how they spell it here. I learned that the hard way when I had trouble finding a copy of Roald Dahl’s story in the online library catalog. (We never did manage to get a hard copy of the book. Instead I downloaded a free pdf version, converted it to an epub, and we read it on my phone.)

When I told Sam that I was taking her to see “George’s Marvellous Medicine” at the Brighton theatre, she said, “I’m going to wear my pig costume!” (The story takes place on a farm.) So we resurrected last year’s Wilbur costume and I’m pleased (mostly) that it still fit. I was not pleased at the amount of oinking I had to listen to on the way to the theatre, but at least that stopped once the curtains came up. The little porcine girl was enthralled.
