Alarm at 0800. Got up and porridged before heading for Stoke Newington. Damp and drizzly day. Sausage and egg sarnie in Leo’s cafe. Long day’s technical rehearsal. I presided over a line run in the dressing room. Broke for lunch. Then a long cue-to-cue tech. I left once they’d gotten to the end of Act I. Got a 106 bus back to Finsbury Park and picked up some cans of Guinness on the walk back to the flat. Picked up Aki and we walked up to No.93 for dinner and a catch up with Kevin and Laurence…she had cooked a beef bourgignon. They are still darting over to Meaux every so often to check on her mother, who is now in a care home. They are back in London for Xmas, entertaining their sons. Staggered home around 2230…bath and bed.
