Farelli came over for lunch. I made Italian drop egg soup, Brazilian fish and the cardamom ice cream I made yesterday. All a big success. Farelli went a bit odd at one stage. We couldn’t work out why. I think … Continue reading

Magic musical

We saw Return to the Forbidden Planet at Woking tonight. Brilliant! What fun! Amazingly amazing. I’ve never seen a show where the entire audience was so into it before this one. Incredible.

Conversion in music

Gorgeous day. Except for the thrum thrum of mindless techno crap pounding through the wall from next door. Went into Guildford to see Antony Sher in Mahler’s Conversion. Gary Waldhorn (David from The Vicar of Dibley) was in it as … Continue reading

A day in the death

It’s been an awful week. Lots of debate and recriminations, shouting and abuse, gallons of tears. No-one has owned up to it either, so it’s pretty much senseless; no reason at all. We had three minutes of silence at work … Continue reading
