After bailing out of the churchy place last night, I sat at the bar at Elizabeth and had a kicky cocktail and a beautiful short rib Yorkshire pudding.
Already an announcement that the train will be late. I’m not in a hurry.
I REALLY wanted to love this place because ministers for parents but I waited for an hour for my main and then I left.
The Scottish Play is much more serious
A freezer martini @ The Starlight
Dirty Rotten Scoundrels @ The Avon Theatre
Lunch and a beautiful G&T @ Bluebird
I’m staying at the Avonview Manor Bed and Breakfast. Apparently I’m in the Scottish room!
The coffee shop lifestyle @ Revel Caffé
Because of Andor, which was so good, I’m re- #watching Obi-Wan Kenobi (2022). Also, Ewan McGregor. I love these limited series that just tell another story in the Star Wars universe.
The lounge must have been something else.
The train to Stratford is two hours late. Luckily I’ve got buckets of battery life!
The name ‘Alfred’ means ‘elf-counsel’. (via @qi.com)

Now tubbiness is just the thing
Which gets a fellow wondering;
And Teddy worried lots about
The fact that he was rather stout.
He thought: “If only I were thin!
But how does anyone begin?”
He thought: “It really isn’t fair
To grudge me exercise and air.”
