Poor Shylock

Posted on May 31, 2015 by Gary

Today marked the first 2015 visit to the Globe with the Weasels. The play was The Merchant of Venice, which I’d never seen. I did, however, know the story so I didn’t need to read a synopsis beforehand. This always … Continue reading →

Today was the second Weasel outing to the Globe for 2014. We saw Julius Caesar which I’ve been looking forward to seeing. It’s possibly the one Shakespeare play I know really well, the reason being that our English teacher thought … Continue reading →

Jet lag and the Globe

Posted on June 9, 2013 by Gary

Today was the first Globe outing for the Weasels this year and The Tempest was the play. I set off from Aldershot (Mirinda kindly drove me on her way to pick up the poodles from the kennel) because of engineering … Continue reading →

Reduced Shakespeare

Posted on May 2, 2013 by Gary

I had a bit of a busy day today as well as the residual aches and pains from both my fall and shovelling the ton of dirt yesterday. First up, it was vote time. Today we were voting for local … Continue reading →

Feuding gnomes

Posted on February 10, 2013 by Gary

Sophie and Tom came over today for lunch. They’d been in London attending a Chinese New Year parade thing which Tom thoroughly enjoyed…especially the fire crackers. He insisted Sophie buy some so we could set them off in the back … Continue reading →

Made glorious summer

Posted on September 9, 2012 by Gary

Today marked the end of the paralympics and the end of our summer of sport. We’d been dreading it but, when all was said and done, we managed to avoid the worst of the crowds and Tube warfare. It has … Continue reading →

Making grown men weep

Posted on August 12, 2012 by Gary

Today I travelled up to London, not to see the final day of the Olympics but to join in another bit of patriotic fervour; Henry V at the Globe. Mirinda joined me on the train as she was on her … Continue reading →
