Woke around 0800. Got up and made tea just as Colin surfaced. He’d checked his rail journey to Nuneaton and discovered part of it entailed a rail replacement bus, so he wanted to get away sharpish…I cooked him a quick breakfast and he then headed for Euston. I cooked brunch for Aki and I. Did a little more pruning out in the front garden…very warm out there…it’s going to be a bit of a scorcher today. Lunched on almond cake and fruit salad. Worked through some of the Moby Dick music. No singing voice today…Tuesday and Wednesday night’s shanty rehearsals, and the chilli in last night’s meal, put paid to that! Warmed up the chicken cacciatore for dinner, and mashed some spuds to go with it. Walked to the Lion & Unicorn pub theatre in Kentish Town, via Carleton Road…nice pub just off the High Street. Went to see neighbour Tom Barnes in a piece called “Mrs T Foresees”. I liked the upstairs space, but the sightlines were very poor. Odd piece, relating a tale of Victorian era Melbourne and the adventures of an Irish woman who can predict the future…set in a lunatic asylum. It was overlong…I reckon 15 minutes could have been cut from the running time with no loss of storyline…but the performances were good. Show came down around 2215…we didn’t hang around to say hello to Tom as we were feeling weary. Walked down to Camden Road and caught a No.29 bus home…
