To top off the week from hell, last night I managed to lock myself out of the flat. At 1am on one of the bitterly cold and damp nights that Wellington does so well. Luckily a knightling in shining car with a fluffy hot water bottle came and rescued me… yay.
The sun came out for a while this afternoon and I got all enthusiastic and repainted the white lines on the edge of our steps. We’re finally having a flat warming party (a year late) and I didn’t want anyone to break their neck trying to negotiate the path in the dark. Now the sky has clouded over again, so I’m hoping it doesn’t rain on my wet paint.
I’m going to see Troilus and Cressida tomorrow. Set during the Land Wars, the music for the performance is composed by Gareth Farr and performed by Strike. That alone makes me want to go – Gareth Farr was my hero for years. And I love Shakespeare – especially set in interesting times/places/contexts. I miss acting. One of the best – and most intense – weeks of my life was acting in the inaugural National Youth Shakespeare Production. We did a brutally deconstructionist take on Richard III, and it was amazing. Apart from the bit where I fell over part of the stage.
