Sunday 27th April 2025

Woke around 0715. Dozed for a bit before getting up to make tea. Porridged. Aki suffering a bit this morning…her skin very inflamed, especially on her legs…don’t know what’s bringing it on…she’s taking anti histamine in a bid to lessen the itching. Watched some snooker. packed some costume for this evening's showcase at the Tower. We walked down to Xian Impression, opposite the Emirates Stadium, for lunch...very tasty as usual. Walked over to the Olden Garden...Katherine and George had alerted us to a plant sale there this afternoon...we found George dealing with a bit of a queue, so didn't stick around. Aki went browsing, whilst I headed on foot for Stoke Newington. 

Got to the theatre about half-an-hour before my call, so was able to grab copies of my scripts to mark up...sat in the bar area with them, and a Magnum ice cream. Rehearsal went OK...not too enamoured of the writings I'm cast in, but squeezed a bit of comedy out of them. Only had a 15 minute break before the audience was allowed in...we played in the Smith Studio. The audience was largely made up of the nine Tower Writers who had proffered pieces for the evening's showing. I enjoyed it rather more than I'd anticipated...got my laughs, and was entertained by the pieces I wasn't in...Martin South was on particularly good form. I told him we needed to partner up in something silly one of these days. I didn't stick around after the performance...caught a couple of buses back to Tollington, and walked home. Aki up watching telly. Caught The Ten, and MOTD, which featured Liverpool securing the Premier League title with an emphatic win over Spurs...
