Aki up early to ready herself for Rowing Club. I slept on. Got up around 0930. Porridged. Sat about listening to music for a bit, and catching up with news on the BBC website. Decided to go into the theatre early to try and sort out my cabling...needs tidying up. Drove in so I could leave the car in the vicinity, as I did yesterday. Grabbed a coffee from the Yellow Warbler. They were still adding finishing touches to the set build when I got to the auditorium. Phil was painting flagstones on the floor with a large stencil he had made. I waited for him to go for his lunch break before spending ten minutes or so taping up my cabling. Took a bus back to Finsbury Park and walked home from there. Warmed up some squash and lentil dal for dinner, with a naan and okra. Ate alone…Aki off to Kearsey and Kieran’s for dinner, and to discuss progress on the refurb she’s working on for them. I set off for Stoke Newington on foot, hopping on a bus on Brownswood Road. Bumped into Sangita at the theatre…she’s rehearsing The Mirror Cracked for next season. Good house for first nite…all but full. Lots of kids in the audience. Show went down very well with them, and their parents. Very enthusiastic reception at curtain. Stayed for a beer in the bar afterward. Chatted to Lawrence about any possible opportunities to join the Moby Dick production next summer…am keen to go see Minack for myself at last…he suggested I talk to Colin about joining the band. Drove home to find Aki in the bath…fell in to bed exhausted!
