Salome

Tonight we went to Guildford; to the Yvonne Arnaud Theatre, and saw Salome. I directed Salome many years ago for the one-act play festivals at the Zenith (Theatrefest) and the one in Wagga. It was quite shocking. Karen was a … Continue reading →

Drama

Posted on May 21, 2010 by Gary

I arrived at work today to hear all about the big drama yesterday. The Science Museum was evacuated at 11am and didn’t re-open for the rest of the day. This is a very, very rare thing. Apparently the V&A tweeted … Continue reading →

No Show

Posted on May 20, 2010 by Gary

Today I had an unexpected Talking Newspaper stint. Poor George fell down his stairs and was so bruised he couldn’t get out of his chair. He rang me and asked if I could swap with him. Seeing as I was … Continue reading →

Bath

Well, I have travelled from Bath today to a quiet, puppy-less house. I’m going to pick them up tomorrow. The garden is lovely, the birds are tweeting, the lawn is mown. I have had a chilled afternoon. We had a … Continue reading →

Prettiest Village

Posted on May 16, 2010 by Gary

Sometimes when we visit pretty places, the stray thought crosses my mind how nice it would be to live there. It would be like living on the lid of a chocolate box or a completed jigsaw. All perfect. I had … Continue reading →

Yo!

Posted on May 15, 2010 by Gary

The wonderful smell of frying bacon woke me at around 8.30. Such an excellent alarm clock. We went down for a cooked breakfast then out on the town we ventured. After vaguely wandering around, we wound up at the Abbey … Continue reading →

Shoes & socks

Posted on May 14, 2010 by Gary

I really hate wearing shoes and socks. When I was at Telewest, I usually had no shoes on under my desk. Granted I kept the socks on but more often than not, I was shoeless. Today, on the train into … Continue reading →

Mr Whizz

Posted on May 13, 2010 by Gary

An odd day today. First of all I had to take the puppies to Frensham Kennels. It had occurred to me to walk there. It’s only 5.5 miles but the first 2 miles is along busy roads which I wasn’t … Continue reading →
