It pleased me because I immediately started
constructing a blog post. Cate worried about this for a long time and finally –
in the last queue to get onto the plane – she cracked and gave me her boarding
pass.
Actually I think it was just a reward for
my patience and fortitude while shopping with her – but in reality there is
very little difference between business and WD classes except that in business
class you get a meal prepared by Do & Co
– and this is always good.
On Saturday night we saw Simon Callow in
his one man show about Dickens
– at the Playhouse Theatre.
I have been a fan of Simon Callow since the
early 80s when he did a TV series ‘Chance in a Million’ with Brenda Blethyn
(and I have never met anyone else who saw this).
He is a brilliant actor and his show – in
which he performed roles from Dickens’s books – just as Dickens himself did in
his ‘readings’ – was sensational.
It is a wonderful time of the year for
Stadtpark and we had a burst of sunshine yesterday afternoon so I popped over
to get some Autumn pictures.
I have put a few of these in Picasa on my
blog.
Merisi
is in America at the moment and is getting some terrific photos.
So immediately after I wake up I go over to read your blog. I read the veRy first sentence, then re-read it confused in my just awoke-ness, wondering, "What kind of class (educational) is he attending?!?!?" Because I know what a wombat is, weLL, at least I think I do.
ReplyDeleteI've never flown in anything but wombat dropping class. Which name I love, by the way.
ReplyDeleteAfter reading about Statdpark for three years I now want to come visit and see it for myself.
So that's who Simon Callow is! He was fantastic in 'Shakespeare in Love', which is a great movie. I subject my senior students to it every year :)
ReplyDeleteesb: It is an Australian construction.
ReplyDeleteWanderlust: Your room is ready.
Alexia: He is a truly wonderful actor
