So, last night was our expedition to see King Lear. In the end various people couldn't make it, and so it was only myself,
pierot,
ksirafai,
lanfykins and Ginnie's aunt, who appeared at the very last minute, just as the doors were being shut and we were panicking.
I've never seen King Lear before. I was vaguely aware of the story, and always felt it didn't make sense. I didn't know the text that well, and I think that made it a lot more interesting for me. OK...there weren't exactly many great surprises, but the play began to make more sense as I watched it.
( Rambling about King Lear )
We got home late, which was good. I failed to get up for swimming this morning for I am weak. I think a lie in was a good idea, however. This week has been a fairly rough week in so many ways. Today is Li'l Sis's birthday and then back to university tomorrow.
