Cows and horses

This memorial plaque I came across at the Southbank of the Thames yesterday. I'd just read that the European Commission considers to loosen the restrictions regaring BSE. Why feeding animals with meat anyway when there still are risks for people, I ask myself?

My theatre evening today was all about horses. I went to see War Horse at the New London Theatre and was completely struck by the story, the actors and the huge puppets and their players.

I'd never seen such a great performance before. And, sitting in the first row, it felt as if the horses nearly ran me over. The tank was rolling over me and I was amid the World War I battle field. I will miss this kind of theatre very much when I'm back home!
