@Mizmazzle yeah man it’s funny what you get used to. Before Covid I was in the office 5 days a week, 1.5 hour commute each way. I’m lucky that my works very hybrid, I can pretty much chose when to go in so if I’m feeling cabin feverish I head on in.

@Mister_Brue that room of boxes is doing my head in. I think it’s gonna stay like that for the foreseeable

@denim-dawg thanks man, you’re too kind! I’m far from being a connoisseur with coffee, but I enjoy anything I buy from Dark Arts in Hackney

@jerkules You’re a True Gent
️️ Sounds like class a coffee - can’t wait to try next time I’m on your island

A good thing I find about the kids being off school is that it forces you to be a tourist in your own city. Yesterday we went to watch “Rough Magic” at Shakespeare’s Globe theatre on the Thames South Bank.
Our train terminates on the doorstep of the Tower of London and Tower Bridge - two landmarks that I’ve walked past countless times that I’ve stopped paying attention. The enthusiasm and wonder of little kids is good for lifting your eyes up and noticing things that you otherwise miss every day.
“Rough Magic” was an imagining of what happens to the Macbeth witches after the story ends. The premise is that the infamous prophecy made by the witches in Macbeth was actually an error from a junior witch. As a result, the human world has realised they can influence their fates more than they should… It was genuinely a great play that we all enjoyed - a small cast of 4 kept the energy up, lots of on stage magic worked into the plot. It was also bloody hilarious.
Making use of our proximity to the Tate Modern, we went to get involved in Oscar Murillo’s interactive “The Flooded Garden”. Viewers are asked to participate in the artwork - we were all giving a brush and left to add whatever we wanted. The effect is pretty cool when you stand back, and the size of the work is enormous, taking up almost half of the massive turbine hall. Kids loved it.
Then, over to Borough Market for food. It was so hot and busy that I couldn’t be arsed spending too long deciding what to eat. Went straight to my usual Brindisa for a chorizo roll. Lush!

@ARNC it was really cool! It’s been ages since I’ve been to the Globe and must admit I had no knowledge of the Wanamaker with the complex. Nice and intimate setting, only a hundred or so seats. Glad it wasn’t in the Globe proper with the kids as doubt they’d be able to stand for long, the lazy little guys..

@Mister_Brue it was a beautiful day. I was surprised that I didn’t get too hot in the chore coast as well - the 12oz fabric is very wearable

@sabergirl will keep em coming while I have the jacket - thanks for the kind words

@Mister_Brue yikes! You’re made of stronger stuff than I.
