Am back having travelled to Llandudno to see the tour of “I’m Sorry I Haven’t a Clue” at venue Cymru. It was brilliant - I really needed the laugh. The teams were Rory Bremner, Marcus Brigstocke, Pippa Evans and Tony Hawkes, with Jack Dee in the chair. Pippa Evans really can sing and Marcus Brigstocke is hilarious.

I stayed overnight in a B&B on the sea front but it was a longer walk than I expected from the venue so I took taxis after my first exhausting walk. I was also on the first floor despite having asked for ground, so lovely though the room was, if anything pops up at VC that I just can’t miss, I’ll find somewhere else.

The cats welcomed me home with yips of catty disapproval. I’ve fed them, but I think I’m going to be in their bad books for the rest of the day. I left them plenty of food last night, but clearly I am a dirty stop out.

In an unusual attempt at having a social life I went with [livejournal.com profile] clare_nce to the theatre last night to see a play called "Our Boys", starring Laurence Fox and a wide variety of other people who've been in genre shows but whose names escape me.

It was rather good.

The basis premise was that of a group of young men in an army hospital for a variety of reasons at a date in the 1980s have nothing but time to kill. Very slowly, the audience learns the reasons why they're there and finds out what happens to them. Spoilers beyond this point. I really mean this; I give away the end of the play. )

So, yes, I recommend this play if you can still get a ticket.

Irrelevant observation: I noticed that the group of theatres of which the Duchess forms a part is called "Nimax", which made me think it some kind of theatre-related Dr Who monster. Perhaps an impresario with extra horns.
