I would go to bed now...
But, after a long, long day culminating with the last train home being half an hour late, I need to unwind a bit first. The train lateness was a tad perturbing on a station with no way of gaining information about lateness of trains, there being no staff or indicator boards, and when I'd already been sat patiently reading a book to pass the hour I'd already been waiting there. However, I was still home earlier than I would've been if I'd gone for the bus option, and the bus station is not a good place to be hanging around for an hour or more at night.
I did my usual work stint, then meandered around the town for an hour or so before meandering back to workplace to enjoy the evening's entertainment (A Mid Summer's Night Dream). I've got to know all the performers a bit over the last year or so, and had been looking forwards to this. It was a good performance in many ways, especially considering the age of the cast (late teens), but I was drifting off a bit by the end, as the pace got erratic, and definitely had trouble hearing some of them. But there were some excellent moments of pure comedy, Puck and Helena were outstandingly good, a couple of the main characters improved greatly as time went on, and there were two or three scenes that stood out as superb. When I see them next, I will certainly be most appreciative, because I know how hard they all worked, and will give my criticisms only if they ask what I really thought. (Which, they may do... or they may not!)
Mind you, my own next few weeks are going to be erratic!! Next week looks like being my last "normal" week under my current routine, and it goes into free-fall from the week after.
