Recovery

Neither of us were won over by The Deep Blue Sea in the Gate Theatre Saturday night. The performance was entertaining but I didn't believe the main characters' feelings towards each other. I found it emotional rather than emotive and in the end I didn't really care if Hester lived or died, which was a shame. But John Kavanagh as Dr Miller was brilliant as usual.

(An aside - ever notice that theatre audiences laugh at absolutely anything? It isn't a particularly humourous play (apart from Dr Miller's lines) but the audience roared laughing at every delivery that on screen or paper would only rouse a smile. Or am I just being a moany sod?)

Yesterday we met Paddington for lunch at L'Gueuleton, which was gorgeous, and then onto the roof garden in Fitzsimons as the sun was splitting the trees. Later we ended up in The George for their Sunday drag act and bingo.

We're both feeling a tad rough today - but it was worth it!
