Woke around 0800. Tea. Cooked brunch. Cycled off to Stoke Newington, via Clissold Park, to attend the panto recalls. Parked the bike outside the theatre and bought coffee at the Yellow Warbler. Sorrel already set up in the Smith Studio…Vahan and Kat, our musical directors, were also in attendance, as well as Sarah, our SM. Saw various people…had to make a choice between three potential Princes, and two potential Rubellas. A bit of disagreement amongst us, but eventually agreed on an Italian lady as Rubella…I wasn’t terribly convinced, but some of our number knew her and felt confidant she could be worked up into the role. Adjourned around 1345…aimed for the Jolly Butchers, but it was fully booked, so I made my excuses and cycled up Church Street for a sandwich at Gail’s. Got home around 1445, ahead of Aki, who had been rowing. Listened to some footie on R5Live. Did some exercises. Rehearsed a couple of tunes with Aki. Wandered round to Brett’s at No.7 for dinner. She did a tasty spread…pea and lettuce soup, chicken filo pie with cauliflower, cheesey orzo and ricotta and spinach balls, followed by apple pie and cream. As we chatted afterward, Aki spotted a mouse in the next room…Brett charged up a mousetrap with chocolate, and we made a hurried exit!
