Life
- Mum and Dad arrived to make use of the anniversary gift and enjoyed the afternoon tea at Fortnum and Mason. The day before, dinner at a local Korean restaurant was mediocre.
- While they were eating finger sandwiches and buying tea towels, I went to the physio about my shoulder. It was supposed to be a seminar but because so few people were booked on it we all got a personal consultation. I think I will have some kind of injection to see if it helps.
- Wednesday, we all had delicious Mediterranean but, perhaps, I ordered too many dips. I enjoyed it.
- Mum & Dad took the train back on Thursday morning. I went to vote. I am not sure if it was tactical or what I would have done anyway.
- Evening drinks at The White Horse meant I was spared the big 10pm exit poll TV shenanigans. When I got home I did stay up watching too many results while flicking between channels.
- Friday, Closer to Heaven at The Turbine theatre is good. Frances Ruffelle excellent as Billie Trix. It’s the third version we’ve seen and I’d recommend this one. We had cabaret-style tables but kept the little card to say no interaction. In hindsight, that was the wrong decision.
- Sunday, Thames-side to an Airbnb in Wraysbury for C’s birthday. The house is nice with a view of the river, the pub had great service and great steaks.
Media
- I find most political reporting frustrating to listen to. So I heard almost nothing this week apart from episodes of The Rest is Politics and I watched their Channel 4 televised shows.
- The exception to politics was Game Changers Radio: Melbourne Radio Wars which is getting really good.
