Heat Wave


I had a very helpful cab driver yesterday who suggested standing in front of the ice cream section in Tesco. Last night we saw a very funny farce about a 25 year college reunion called Donkeys Years. Two of the stars were familiar from films: David Haig who was in Four Weddings And A Funeral and Mark Addy who was in The Full Monty. It reminded me a lot of Noises Off which was also written by Michael Frayn and it was a nice break from the serious dramas we have been seeing. In class we had as our guest the actor Michael Simkins who was in Donkey Years. He was very funny and affable volunteering to answer any question no matter how inane or rude. Which he then did, rambling at great and hilarious length about his career. He has written a book called: "What's my Motivation?" which I am going to look for in Waterstones Books.
Today I am risking life and limb and invoking 3 phobias to go on the London Eye. If I survive, tonight we are seeing Shakespeare's Antony and Cleopatra at the Globe.

I wonder how it ends?

Thank you for the kind words. Having survived the London Eye I am in a great mood today (and it's cooler)!
