Had a quiet morning, I did spend some time on the jigsaw and may have pieced 8 pieces, going to be a long haul if it gets done! I was listening to my new Bill Turnbull cd, a collection of relaxing classical pieces, which was very calming as I struggled on! Anya, Louis and Isobel came at about 12.30 pm and we walked up towards town, thinking we would get lunch at one of the little cafes, but they were all closed so we ended up having plates of chips in the fish and chip restaurant near the theatre! They were very good, freshly cooked chips, so not all bad. The pantomime, Cinderella, was great fun with masses of audience participation, which we all joined in with gusto!! I did take some pictures of the cast on the way out. The ugly sisters were on stage a lot and were really funny.
They were called Britney and Whitney! The prince was a male actor, not a big role compared with some but he was good too.
The lad who played the wicked stepmother was brilliant and Cinderella was lovely. Some great sets and costumes too.
Sadly I didn't get a picture of Buttons, who was the real star of the show, but all in all it was great entertainment and about two and a half hours long. This evening Darren and I joined Anya and family at the apartment where we played my new but bingo game, with some excellent reading by our 'caller' Isobel.  The we played a new game of theirs called Bananas which was good fun. Today the frost was so heavy that it looked like snow and it has not cleared all day. I walked home from their apartment a little while ago and took this picture as I neared the shops.
A very cold wind chill factor. Going to watch the new Jonathon Creek with Darren and Tina in a bit.

  1. A very good time was had by all from the looks of it. Chips too, can't be bad.
    It was very foggy and icy here today too. Wonder if we'll get some snow before long?
    Enjoy a bit of tv with the family, it'll just finish off the day nicely.

  2. Yes, Jonathon Creek to end the day was good, quite weird as ever! Snow, I wonder, we do seem to miss out on that being so close to the sea.
