First of all - Happy 34th Birthday to velvetpage!


Second of all, Happy 10th Anniversary (again) to velvetpage. Thirdly of all, Happy 15th First Date Anniversary to velvetpage - sometime later this month, anyway.

Also, we're home now. Claire is happily stealing cheese from the fridge, Elizabeth is looking for Woody Woodpecker DVDs, God is in His heaven, etc., etc.


I highly recommend both The Annex Room in Stratford for quiet get-aways, and the current production of Bartholomew Fair. This is the first known such production of this Ben Johnson comedy ever presented in the Western Hemisphere. It makes Shakespeare's most bawdy bits look like school marmish puns. Full of bawds and pimps and curpurses and brawlers and Puritan heretics and cursing. The two ladies sitting beside us left during the intermission and didn't return. And, it ends with a Filthy Puppet Show!

The set design and costumes reminded me strongly of a Warhammer Fantasy LARP. I'm sad that way.
