- I joined Andy at the Leicester Square Theatre for Russell Howard’s warm-up show. Scrappy, in-progress shows where the comedian jumps around and ad-libs are somehow funnier than polished sets.
- At work the HR team asked me to help present in their company-wide training sessions on annual performance reviews for our leaders. I have clearly gained a reputation with HR as someone pushing for leadership training, so I guess I brought it on myself! It seemed to go well.
- I walked C to our village’s Guy Fawkes Night fireworks at the sports field. It was packed. We queued for an overpriced burger-van burger for him and then ooh’d and aah’d at all the whizz-bangs. He loved it. At some point we both stepped in dog poo in the dark so I had to scrub and disinfect our shoes back home. Not for me.
- The house exterior painting is mercifully finished. Our windows can be shut and cars parked back on our drive. Next we need to coax back the scaffolders to dismantle their platforms and poles.
- The Celebrity Traitors concluded spectacularly, we finished the nerve-shredding Blue Lights and have now started Pluribus which has already gripped us.
