Not blogged for a while!?
Last night my chum, Chris, and I went to see Jon Sopel talking in Richmond theatre. What an interesting fella. BBC American correspondent for 10 years… lots to say about ole Trump.. etc. And how crazy the political system is in the States.
Who knew… ? 😂
Other recent highlights have been seeing Natasha Bedingfield in Camden, and also Waiting for Godot in town.
Natasha has definitely still got it All going on, and Waiting FG is still almost impossible to fathom!
I also went to Hampton Court. I’ve been lots of times but never been inside. Wow, it’s extraordinary. Loads of staff all over the place to answer your questions and actually quite a few hidden lifts to help people like me to look around upstairs. What a place! Go and see it.
Christ, the canal upon which I live is high today. Flooding and even canal boats slipping their moorings and floating off.
There’s a boat currently wedged against 3 others and totally perpendicular to how it should be ie it’s across the canal … rather than on the side of it. It’s going to take the flow to stop before someone attempts to move it…
With more rain to come, who knows how long it’ll be there. Yikes.
Oh, and hi to Priscilla. Lovely to meet you.
Non highlights include having a bizarre experience with a carer that I had to use for a week whilst GG was away. When she didn’t turn up one day … I was absolutely stuck.
I managed to extricate myself but imagine my surprise when she then proved impossible to contact ( and was in possession of the keys to my flat ) and a whole load of my ( fairly expensive) shirts which she had said she was taking home to iron.
I had no choice but to involve the Feds and have my locks changed. All quite a big deal – you just can’t really trust people, sadly. Tbh I thought maybe she’d been murdered or hurt and was perhaps locked up against her will. But no, she turned out to be fine and unharmed ( according to the police ) but to this day I’ve no idea why she did what she did.
But thanks to GG and Suzy for their help in getting my keys and shirts back. All really odd ..
