London Still Rocks!

For tonight, both my cheap ticket groups came up with Horatio, in thy Heart , at the Jack Studio Theatre , above the Brockley Jack pub , where I'm eating beforehand. It is, in fact, the story of Horatio , a minor character in Hamlet . For both these days, I decided to go with CT - they seem more professional, and the tickets are the same price - equivalent to the concessionary price charged at the box office. Two buses, I had to take.. neither with aircon.. and the first one was accompanied alternately with the screaming of a toddler (that tried to grab me as I stood near him) and the rantings of an elderly bloke at the front, who kept shouting at the kid, seemingly not understanding that children sometimes scream, and there's not a lot you can do about it. I don't suppose that was ever his responsibility. And when I got a seat, it was beside him.. oh joy. The mother got off with me.. mercifully, not onto my second bus . No, on that one I was entertained by the elderl...

Tonight, I booked with CT to see  Skin , a play showing at  Brockley Jack Studio Theatre  - specifically chosen because it was the closest cheap show to my new place. First though, someone in Specsavers had advised me, last time I came hopefully looking for my glasses, to come back today. Which was, ironically in the other direction. Duh.. Well, off I went - had just missed my bus , but thankfully, when the next eventually came, it flew along. Naturally, they didn't have my glasses - the order says they've been "delivered", but as he said, that could mean to the lab. He checked, but was occupied with other customers and not that interested. So, fair enough, I'm supposed to wait for a text from them - but texts don't always make their way through to my new phone! Well, we shall see. Anyway, this gave me the excuse to eat in Nando's again - where I was fed well, and quickly. And the waiter recognised me from last time ! Gee, I'm becoming a regular some...
