THURSDAY SEPTEMBER 24TH - Fantastic theatre


I feel that some things today addressed the craziness of the previous two days.

As I have been coming down to London to see my father regularly, I have left clothes in the flat over the time. I found a pair of short boots, that will be perfect. I need not have spent a despondant hour looking in WestField last night.

I also need some more printing done, as I have left two pieces at home. This may be a blessing in disguise as I can now tweak the print to be a little larger. But where can I find a print shop?

Answer: Opposite Nazareth House, the nursing home where my father is living, I find Copywell. They can do all the lamination I want tomorrow. I have remembered to bring the memory stick to London, which is remarkable in itself.

I step out of the shop and think, this day is already going more smoothly than the last two.

I go into London and meet, my long term friend, Pat. The weather is beautiful. We find an excellent lunch place near Drury Lane, called Wolfes. It does a really good £10 for two courses lunch. Delicious and plentiful.

Then we go to The New Theatre to see one of the most remarkable pieces of theatre I have ever experienced. The War Horse. The standing ovation is well deserved.

Back to the flat. Jake cooks dinner and Joe arrives to start work on writing all the info I require on the plinth cover. Jake lends a hand too. Wonderful work, thank you. I tell them that they will now be able to say that some of their artwork has appeared in Trafalgar Square.

  1. Rita,

    I'm not sure that "break a leg" is a good way to wish someone on such a precarious platform well so I'll restrict myself to wishing you good luck, and good (non-Yorkshire) weather,

    Marc.
