Got up and porridged. Sat at the dining table and uploaded yesterday’s photos on to my laptop, and wrote up some inspection sheets. Aki still under the weather…managed to persuade Katrina to take up her ticket for tonight’s show at the Old Vic. Drove out to finish one set of Peabody inspections…in Islington, Haringey, and Hackney. Picked up a posh sandwich at AllPress in Dalston to share with Aki, and turned for home. She was still in bed when I got back…but got up for lunch. Spent the afternoon writing up my inspection notes. Made a salmon and egg salad for dinner, then set off for Waterloo. Found Katrina waiting outside the Old Vic…they don’t let you in without a ticket these days. Had a drink in the circle bar…bumped into Chris from the Tower…he was seeing the show for a second time, with his wife and daughter. The show, Girl From the North Country, uses a couple dozen Dylan songs to inform a story of Depression era North America…there a big cast, including musicians…everyone was a superb singer…the songs given a light C&W treatment. The acting was first class, and had a surprising Chekhovian vibe…Chekhov with rock music…it worked a treat, and we both staggered out into the night afterward, wiping a tear from the eye! Got home just as Aki started running the bath…I started to put a playlist together of the songs from the show…and booked two tickets to see it again on Friday!!!
