Went to see A Shakespeare Party this afternoon. Discounting the "outraaaageous Fronch ax-cents" of some of the actors, it was amazing. Clever & funny & also they let you take photos during the performance, so clearly they are splendid. Twas superb. Am happy. *nods*

Song & dance & crazy puppetry. A singing maggot: I'm partial to a pound of ( Read more... )

Went and saw Supermarket Shakespeare in Sainsbury's with Pim this evening. Makes food shopping so much more interesting. Some people who'd not realised what was going on looked really rather perturbed. Heh.

We followed three of the five actors: a girl with an autistic spectrum disorder (I think); her father; and a deputy-manager (the love rat ( Read more... )

I met Cat and Helen the Theologian & Maria opposite the theatre sans drama, which is always a bonus & indeed a plus. Admittedly I did almost send Cat flying by running at her & hugging her to within an inch of her life, but these things happen. La.

There was a fair amount of chatting & graciouswings had bought us all presents. ( Read more... )

After a distinctly unpromising start & despite the grotty weather, today turned out a very splendid day indeed.

While twiddling about on the interwebs, I discovered that something called October Plenty was happening on the South Bank. Sadly I made this discovery just as it was starting, but nonetheless I determined to hie me hence ( Read more... )

No trains from Hither Green today, to which I say pah!. On the plus side, this was discovered without making me late to meet Chloe at Waterloo. She'd come from training & was (as one might expect) starving so there was eating-whilst-strolling as we made our way down the South Bank to the Globe. My father has a remarkable trick of phoning me as I ( Read more... )

I have had an immensely fine day. Having played on the interwebs this morning I took myself off up to Waterloo to meet chiasmata. The weather was playing nicely enough for us to be able to go and picnic by the London Eye before wandering down to the National to see St Joan.

Daddy has been and gone. He measured the wardrobe & made dad-noises about shelving & general decoratey things. He's said he'll put up bookshelves in my room for me when the decorating is done. This is v splendid indeed - he is good at the bookshelf thing, having done the shelving in the sitting room that fills the two alcoves beside the ( Read more... )

I have had an utterly spledacious day. I slept most of the morning & when I woke up I made the happy discovery that my leg was not one giant bruise from the epipenning it received yesterday. I have a quite normal-person type-bruise. It is very subtle. So huzzah, because I have enough spectacular bruises to be going on with ( Read more... )

I, my friends, have had a very splendid day indeed ( Read more... )
