Woke to alarm at 0800, after a fitful night's sleep. I got up and descended to make myself a cuppa tea, and some porridge, Jenny having left out some oats and various toppings. Sean appeared, and we sat and chatted about his theatrical prospects...he complained that there is a lot less work about these days, as theatre's have slashed budgets. He's hoping to play Claudius in a forthcoming production of "Hamlet" at Stafford next year, though. I said we'd try and get up to see him in it. I packed my overnight bag, and said my goodbyes. Walked down to the station in the crisp, frosty air, to catch the 0953 back to London. Sat and had a coffee on the platform, as my train was delayed by almost half-an-hour. Got to Euston eventually, having spent most of the journey dozing off in my seat. Caught a No.253 bus home from outside Euston station. Aki getting lunch prepared when I got in. Pottered about in the afternoon; had to pop out to pick up a delivery from a local store. Aki cooked haddock for dinner, with sweet potato fries. Very tasty! Had an early, much needed bath. Aki on a zoom call with her JCUK pals, rehearsing a short festive sketch for performance at their Xmas gathering.
