Thursday 26th June 2025

Woke around 0400…took a while to get back to sleep. Next time I awoke it was 0915. Got up and porridged. Ventured into to town. Made for Charles Fox in Covent Garden to buy make up…only to find the famous old shop had disappeared…they’d moved about three years ago to a small premises to the north west of Covent Garden…finally tracked them down and bought some pancake. Popped in at the Levi’s shop on Long Acre…Aki bought some trousers. Walked across town to the Japanese grocery on Brewer Street…got caught in the rain. Had planned to find lunch but neither of us felt very hungry so we turned for home, stopping off at Waitrose on the way. Managed to take a look at Act 2 ahead of this evening’s rehearsal. Had pasta with a puttanesca sauce, and burrata for dinner then drove to Stokey for rehearsal. Worked on music and movement for the final scene where Ahab and Moby Dick finally clash and everyone is listening at sea. Looking good…provided we can remember what we’re all doing! Apparently we jumped several pages in last night’s run, but no-one on stage was remotely aware! First night is going to be an unholy mess!!!
