I'm going tonight. I've got a dayseat. I can't believe I was the only one waiting when they opened except for a man who arrived just before opening but wanted an advance ticket. I've got AA5.

Spent a fascinating evening on a guided "Bat Watching Walk" in my local park last night. We saw two cricket and a table tennis... no, we didn't, but I had to get the line in before anyone else did. And none from Hell either. Did see 3 species, and learned the three major ideas we all have about bats are totally wrong! First, they can see as well as we can - no "blind as a bat." Second, they hear on totally different frequencies to us, so couldn't care less about the 100 strong crowd who turned out. Third, they don't sleep upside down if they have a choice. All they want is safety, so they hide in crevices where possible, lying any way that fits and protects them. For a mere £1 donation to the local Wildlife Trust, total bargain of a trip . Took my kids on bat walks a couple of times when they were children. Very interesting.

Bill Kenwright at Wimbledon theatre for press night of "Saturday Night Fever" which was hardly surprising.

I was there last night. I thought the 3 "Bee Gees" should have been allowed to come down to the front of the stage to take the final bow as they did virtually all the singing.Quite different from the original production.

It's my Birthday (I know I don't look that old) but the big news is that my Mother got me (wait for a it) a Colin the Caterpillar cake from M&S. That's the stuff of actual childhood dreams. Happy Birthday Em.

Awful lineup this season. I'm only interested in seeing Danny John Jules.

I enjoyed this much more than the original production. I didn't get a programme so I don't know names - but I thought the girl playing Mary had a wonderful voice. Also thought the boy playing Thomas was a great actor. However all were excellent. Very glad I saw it.

My youngest son is a Beatles fan despite not being born until after they split. He's been asking me about "Let it Be" as posters appearing everywhere around Welling & Bexleyheath. He knows I have seen the show in London before. He has just told me to keep a particular evening free in October as he has bought tickets for us to see it in Dartford.

I would have liked to see "Betty Blue Eyes" & "Lend me a Tenor" but at the time I couldn't afford a ticket & didn't join papering till after. They both looked interesting at West End Live.

Also saw"Bad Girls" - dire. "Peggy Sue got Married" ,"Acorn Antiques" & "The Girls". Glad I saw "The Go- Between" as a chance to see Michael Crawford. I enjoyed "The Wind in the Willows". I recommend the book "Most Close Saturday" if you are interested in flops.

Saw "Lord of the Rings" many times - loved it. Saw & enjoyed "Batboy" , "From here to eternity" at cinema, "Mrs Henderson Presents" & "Stephen Ward". Can understand why "Stephen Ward" failed as noone but us over 60s will have heard of him.

Well we've had casual dress Fridays - how about a Naked Friday tomorrow? No? But you'd get sunburnt everywhere!

Smaller venues are better. It means you get closer.
Before the chloroform weakens. O you do cheer me up Ryan. Your quips always make me smile.

Too hot. Unable to sleep at night. At least in the cold you can wrap up warm. This weather is making my asthma much worse.
