Thursday 24th July 2025

Woke before the 0700 alarm. Got up and porridged before putting a packed lunch together. Showered. Headed into town on the No.1 bus, changing for a No.7 to Seven Dials. Had a coffee in Gail’s before walking up to the theatre. Warmed up then worked bits and pieces and some technical sections before breaking for lunch…bought a sandwich from the Park cafe. Ate at the theatre. The dress rehearsal was patchy…and it started to rain, which saw the musicians having to shelter in the gazebo stage left. It was still drizzling by the time we went on for the evening show, but it cleared fairly quickly…show was better than the dress run…about 130 in the audience…partial standing ovation, and enthusiastic feedback. 

Repaired to The Cow in Seven Dials and rewarded myself with a pint of Guinness…bought Tom a lager…cost me over £14!!! Crept away once I’d finished my beer, and walked down Dyke Road to find a bus from Churchill Square. Got back to Colin’s after midnight…they were up drinking and listening to The Stones…Trudi was pretty drunk! Sat up with them for half an hour before hauling myself upstairs to bed, exhausted!
