It must be the new theatre season..

Good to have proper theatre back after the panto season. The 3 sisters on Hope St is based on Chekov's 3 Sisters. Quote form J - 'the most boring play I have ever seen'. I thought it was good, an old fashioned play which was good value for money! Nearly 11 pm before it finished - some we have seen have been barely an hour. Summary from web site below.

A year after the sudden death of their father, sisters Gertie, May and Rita Lasky share their once grand home with their asthmatic brother Arnold, irascible Auntie Biel and old family friend Dr. Nate Weinberg.
Within the house life is a comforting hive of familiar activity, but outside their city is shattered. And now a new sister-in-law is moving in. The world is changing and the sisters have to find their place in it.
Sometimes moving, sometimes funny, this is the world premiere of a vibrant new version of Chekhov's classic drama.

Wednesday was a quick trip to Somerfield then over to the Hare and Hounds as I was feeling lazy. J had mixed grill (steak not rare but otherwise OK). I had haddock in lemon and chilli breadcrumbs with mixed root vegetables and sugar snap peas. My first choice was cheese pancakes but they had run out! J is in Nottingham today so am going to meet him at the station soon. Don't have time to go to the gym, that is twice this week that I haven't made it - life is just one whirl of activity!! Not quite as exciting as Mandy and Dave's hectic life but not far off!!
