More theatre in London, March 16

Today was less busy.  We had a slow morning, complete with salmon and scrambled eggs, a la Mark.
Then, off on the train for a matinee of "Quartermaine's Term" by Simon Graywith the incomparable Rowan Atkinson.  This was a gift from Maura, which was incredibly generous     It was set in a rather run down language school in Cambridge in the 60's.  Atkinson played a sad, incompetent, lonely teacher.  Everyone in the staff room had dysfunctional and lonely lives.  We disagreed about the play.  Maura found it rather pedestrian and sad.  Mark quite liked it, especially the acting, and I guess I was in the middle.  It was written in 1987 and Michael Palin had played Quartermaine  earlier in the West End.

We went home after the play.

The weather has been cold, windy, but with just sprinkles, so we have not let it stop us.

Mark made a lovely dinner of rosemary potatoes, chicken, broccoli and garlic.
