This weekend I took exactly two photos.
The lazy Friday night pizza – stuff on sourdough, it was delicious
These lights as we were packing up Grace on Saturday night. Labyrinth and BBQ as it tradition. Steve took more photos of us doing the actual thing not just the pretty lights..
The theatre on Sunday afternoon. It was Othello and the acting was great but I have trouble with the play and as soon as Othello starts being a dick, I just get really annoyed. We may have to add Othello to Chekhov as plays I need to take a chill pill before seeing. However, Adrian Lester and Rory Kinnear are two actors that are well worth seeing on stage, whatever they are doing..
Other than that, I sat in the garden with the godchildren, baked bread, washed all the things, worried about my poor sick parent and tried to sleep through the heat.
This week is pretty low key for me, we’ll all set for a week of high temperatures here and I’m having a couple of breathing issues (love the city, don’t love the pollution!), so work, home and early nights are the order of the day.

Nic, I’d love to see more theatre reviews like yours in the papers … still chuckling!
I’m glad! I love the theatre but hate how ‘lovey’ people can get about it and for me one of the major problems in many Shakespeare plays is how gullible the major characters are and how misogynist. Much Ado About Nothing is another one for that. I think that there are too many people that don’t want to say ‘I didn’t like that’ because it’s theatre and it’s culture and it’s somehow wrong. There was lots that I liked about the production, making Iago working class was really good but I just find the play difficult because Othello was a idiot. Even after he’s offed Desdemona, he’s whining on about how he had to do it and that it was kind to strangle her rather than leave her covered in blood. Kind of missing the point that he killed her because he believed she was cheating, which could have been cleared up if he’d asked her or Cassio some simple questions…like I said dick
