Tonight I was meant to be at the closing night of the We Will Rock You UK Tour at the New Wimbledon Theatre. I was meant to be at the matinee! So was I actually! I was gonna do a double show day of it, what with it being the last day of the tour.

Tate Modern* It was glorious to be amongst art again today. London is really rather wonderful in this unique period post lockdown and pre-tourism. It feels important to experience and know what this is like. In July, as well! Tate Millbank on Friday, and then the V&A for most of next week Keep those damn planes away.

I was at Tate Millbank yesterday. More limited opening than Tate Mod but still marvellous in this post-lockdown pre-tourism wonderland. The McQueen exhibit is extended. One token Turner on show otherwise it's a pleasant general stroll though art history - alone, pretty much. Two visits planned next weekend, the Museum of London and the V&A ...yes I did say the V AND A !!! I actually have one visit a week booked to the V&A for their entire open booking period (i.e. August)

Today, I'm going to eat out to help out, and again tomorrow, and again on Wednesday, and again next week, and the week after...
As I never cook on Fridays, Saturday or Sundays during the summer anyway, I'll now only be using my potato peeler on Thursdays!

...finish writing a monologue about a writer who writes from the subject position of the 'other'- a generic term. I will also finish doing the presentation on wonderful sociology primer The Real World which has helped me with the insights for the monologue. I am also planning a watchathon of all cumberbatch works. Lemme know if you would like to too!

May have gone slightly mad with it but now booked at: Natural History Science Museum of London Imperial War and the V&A about a gazzilon times. Tapping my fingers waiting for the British Museum. Honestly folks, it's a joy in these pre-booking, limited number times. Very different experience

londonpostie, I love your enthusiastic museum tour plans! If you need more ideas, and of course, if you're into that sort of thing, there's a great looking exhibition at the Design Museum, on electronic music. Haven't been yet, but will go as soon as I come back from my holiday.

Thanks and have a great time on your holiday.

Was thinking now would be a good time to go to the Tower of London - I bet it would be pretty atmospheric with a much smaller number of visitors than it normally allows in.

V&A was fabulous - just so lovely to be around so much beauty, and so few people This week it's the dinosaur place next door and then back to the V&A on Sunday, a pretty nice Sunday morn cycle as it turns out. @forrest - your Design Museum exhibition kept popping up today in my twitter feed,this lady is a big fan:

@forrest - your Design Museum exhibition kept popping up today in my twitter feed,this lady is a big fan: OMG, if someone left me alone in that room I would be properly terrified: I have a totally irrational fear of human-like robots, that was first triggered by nothing else than Kraftwerk's video for The Robots when I was a kid, and this installation really brings that back. (Not even kidding: when I went to see Kraftwerk live I was a bit worried how I would handle it when that song came on. I ended up loving the show, of course, it was brilliant!) A friend of mine just bought us tickets to see the exhibition on 26 September, so luckily she will be there to hold my hand, if needed. :) (Feel free to laugh, I know I'm ridiculous, but we all have our quirks, don't we?!)

I get to say I'm going to see a show this week - words cannot express how happy this makes me. Now I just need to hope the weather holds out and the thunderstorms are over and done with by Friday.
The show in question is the first night of Jesus Christ Superstar at Regent's Park. In an ideal world I'd love to see all of the double cast roles but for this first time I'm really hoping for Declan and Tyrone, they were fabulous when I saw them before.

I've lost track, but I think I was going to be at the opening night of Identical tonight, in Nottingham.
Probably just as well it was postponed. Imagine wearing double denim in this weather! 👖☀️🌡

Yes, riiiiiiidiculous, and now I understand your cat icon as well! The photo was a random choice, but you are right: it probably suits me well! It's my cat, btw, who now lives with an ex (when we split up and I moved to the UK, he got full custody). My board name is her actual name. :)

Currently luxuriating in a cottage on the Lancashire/Yorkshire border in the shadow of Pendle hill, in the only ‘non-locked down’ bit of that area. I’m gonna run a Zumba class in the dining room in a minute it’s so big! Very relaxing after the last month of ‘Eat Out to Help Out’ hell. Frazzled, disillusioned and disappointed with so many things.
