And the rest of the week...

Thursday was back to the Everyman to see 'The Brothers Size' about 2 brothers called Size, by Tarell Alvin McCraney.
There are two brothers Size: Ogun has worked hard to get his own auto-repair shop; Oshoosi always takes the wrong track. Fresh out of prison, Oshoosi dreams of faraway places. When his ex cell mate Elegba offers him the gift of a clapped-out car, freedom seems to be just around the corner. A young American writer mingles Nigerian Yoruba myth with the earthily poetic life of present day Louisiana to create a playful and deeply original drama.

Quite good overall but no interval and therefore no ice cream! The Queen concert on Friday was good - Mel had booked excellent seats near the front and we sang and clapped and waved our arms as only some one's Mum and Dad can. J nearly didn't make it due to a 6 mile queue on the M6 on his journey home! We saw a fine barn owl on the way home! This morning we had a visit from the Antiques Roadshow man!! They are recording at St George's Hall next Sunday and I sent in a photo (taken by my personal photographer) of the dough chest. They were visiting 40 different pieces of furniture today and will let me know mid week if they are interested in having it there. If not we have a priority ticket so can get in without queuing and can just take a photo to find out about it! I don't think it is worth a lot but it could be old and interesting (like me!!).
I have just been to the gym and before that we went to find out about the new wheelie bins system that is coming to a street near us in early December!! They will only collect non-recyclable waste every other week but that will be no problem for us as we are very good at recycling. Not sure where Mel is going to put her wheelie bin!
We are going to the Tate this afternoon to view the entries for the Turner Prize - I am not expecting to be impressed....
