I am writing this late on Friday to warn you that tomorrow this blog will fall silent because I am taking the 'Memsahib' to Bath for a combined shopping (dread thought!), lunch (ah, that's better!) and theater visit (excellent!) so posting will be minimal to nil. We are going to see one of my very favorite plays, Arcadia by Tom Stoppard, and as I know it backwards, forwards and sideways, having directed it myself, it had better be bloody excellent or there will be ructions in the Dress Circle! I shall return to these distinguished columns on Sunday.
