Friday 1st May 2026

Woke around 0630. Had to get up to do some back stretches! Went back to bed before rising around 0945 to make tea. Had a brief kick about with Wilson in the back garden. Lovely sunny morning. Showered before driving over to Hanley to pick up Tony and Katrina from the Premier Inn. Drove them over to Middleport Pottery for brunch by the canal. Enjoyed a full English. Had a browse around the gallery, and forked out £90 for a gorgeous little flower pot by a Korean ceramicist. Drove Tony and Katrina to Stoke station, then did a little shopping in Sainsburys before returning to Bakewell Street. Played football with Wilson out in the back garden for a bit. 





Made a packed dinner and drove in to the theatre for a 1600 cast de-brief in the Youth Room with the SM and Management Team. Not much to report, really. Ate my dinner on a bench in the theatre back garden before warm up. About 200 in this evening...very lively bunch! Got a lot of enthusiastic dancers up...great show. Drove back to Bakewell Street and fed Wilson some cheese and carrot before retiring to my room.
