Woke around 0830…got up and made green tea. Porridged on overnight oats. A bit overcast this morning…we are due some rain. Put together a packed meal to take to the theatre…salmon salad. Early lunch…chicken cacciatore and buckwheat. Drove into Stoke Newington and parked up, then sat in the cafe at Abney Park…downloaded Martin Chuzzlewit onto my phone and read some of the introductory notes. One of the Furies taken ill this morning with suspected food poisoning…our director stepped in…seamless performance…a very talented young lady!!! Geoff Hoare and his missus were in this afternoon, and we managed a quick catch up in the bar afterward. Promised to come down and visit them in Dorking. My voice playing up a bit so I excused myself and shut myself in the Meeting Room to have some food. There’s a library in there and I found three Farndale Avenue Housing Estate Townswomen’s Guild Operatic Society plays…basically spoofing up amateur theatre…I like the notion of directing one next year, so smuggled them out to read at my leisure. Pretty much a full house for the final show…Sangita had returned from her sick bed. Aki and her Rowing Club chums were in…about 15 of them! Good show…packed up the dressing room afterward, and brought the car round to the front of the theatre. Aki helped me bring my stuff up from the basement dressing room, and we hightailed it home before I got pulled into helping dismantle the set.
