Mmmm, raisin toast.

Mutterings continued.

And Friday rolls around again. Where do the weeks go? Stinky the penguin was on the telly last night - Michael Shultz was holding on to him while doing the weather report. Stinky stinks of fish.

Today's this time last year.

Stratford, day 2. Cold day but I spent most of it tucked away in a small room in the Shakespeare library watching videos. Today's offering - Hamlet with Sam West and Larry Lamb as Claudius. Modern dress, staged with Denmark as a corporation - name badges, brief cases, etc. 3 acts.

Horatio videos Gertrude and Claudius during the Mousetrap and the images are shown on a large screen behind them.

Hamlet shoots Polonius, drags the body in a garbage bag while humming "Hernando's Hideaway" and dumps it down the trapdoor, slamming the door on "Safely stowed!". Hamlet, Ros and Guil share a spliff.

Duel scene - Hamlet in black, Laertes in white. Claudius gives Laertes' poisoned sword to Hamlet.

Had lunch at the wonderful Bensons restaurant.
