Woke around 0630. Got up to use the facilities before getting back to bed. Took an hour or so to drop back off to sleep…next time I woke it was 1000. Got up and descended to rendezvous with Colin and we struck out on foot for the border with Port Slade and brunch in a cafe called Shoreline…no view of the seafront from there though! Walked back in the sunshine along the seafront…quite a lot of new development going on, and numerous landscaping projects to smarten up the front. Walked back to Modena Road to collect my guitar, then headed in to town via the No.1 bus. Got off at Churchill Square and wandered up to Hobgoblin, near the station, to buy some spare plectra, having lost one after last night’s show. Hopped on a No.7 to Seven Dials and bought takeaway food from Gail’s, then walked up Dyke Road to the theatre for a 1545 call. Worked through some bits and pieces, and rehearsed my new song in situ, which helped come the evening show. Alicia spotted me from her perch before curtain up, and came over for a quick chat. She’s working as a doctor in the Cancer Clinic at Eastbourne Hospital, commuting in from Port Slade. She pointed out her fella James, and Charlie’s son Harvey, sat in the auditorium…I gave them a vigorous wave! Show went pretty well…about 150 in, who gave an enthusiastic response at the curtain call. I didn’t see the Hagues afterward, but moves are afoot to meet for lunch on Sunday before I drive home. Caught a bus back into town, transferring to a No.6 at Churchill Square. Sat up with Colin and Trudi for a bit before diving in the shower and heading for a comparatively early night…
