Sunday 1st June 2025

Woke around 0730…lower back giving me gip, so rolled out of bed to make tea. Got back into bed and read some Dickens…the action is really hotting up as the Gordon Riots kick off! Cooked savoury pancakes for breakfast. Aki cycled off to Rowing Club. I did my exercises and tried to get my voice going. Rehearsed some Moby tunes. Peanut butter toast for lunch. Watched Clive Myrie in Palermo, then did my Italian lesson. Aki got back via Waitrose. Restrung my parlour size guitar ahead of tomorrow’s music rehearsals. Cooked the last of the tortelloni for dinner with pesto and a salad. Headed for Stoke Newington. Took a couple of buses as I was running a little late but got to the theatre in good time. About 40 of us convened in the Smith Studio to hear Amanda, the AD, burble on in her usual fashion, then the several directors of the autumn season got up to say what they were doing…Sorrel, who I’m assisting on the panto, didn’t show up, which got me a bit peeved…you’d think she would have told me in advance…not a very encouraging start! Ananda then rounded off the evening by informing us of the Spring season 2026…all sounded rather dull. I left around 1930 and walked home via Clissold Park. Watched a bit of telly…enjoyed Later With Jools…before bath and bed…
