I had been due to take my daughter to see Ariana Grande in Manchester tonight. We didn't travel because she has an important exam tomorrow.
Thoughts are with those at the concert tonight as there appears to have been some kind of incident
Edited to add suspect it may have been as simple as a speaker blowing

Just booked to see the Charles I : King and Collector exhibition at the Royal Academy the beginning of next year. Can't wait.
So my day has started well...

Nothing like concrete walls and yellow barricades outside your office to say 'happy Monday' Sorry, just to clarify, you mean the office building containing your actual office workspace, emicardiff? If it is actually outside your personal office, then I'd hazard a guess that your HR department are trying to communicate a subtle message of some sort. hahaha I wondered what the police escort was about....
(my actual desk is next to the entrance to the glass fronted Apprentice style boardroom and I sometimes feel like I should be saying 'Lord Sugar will see you now' to anyone who walks past)

You absolutely should. Or if you want to add a theatre based slant perhaps 'the wizard will see you now' with a bit of a flourish of course |

Also as a related/unrelated, I know things are horrendous today, things are so sad and scary. But I really think we should carry on our usual theatre chatter, and my admittedly bad jokes. Because if we stop completely the bastards win.

I was saddened by the events last night but I've woken focussing on the positives and shining examples of human nature that occurred in the aftermath |

What note do you hear if a piano falls down a hole in the ground? That's a key, not a note. |

In the spirit of 'carrying on' what should I attempt to get tickets for in either online lottery/rush or the realm of 'pretty cheap' for a bonus night in London tomorrow? sticking to Central/West end as I'm staying near the Excel and would prefer not to make that journey longer by trekking to North London etc.
Recommendations?
