You'll get the serious reviews when I return to blighty, but just to say that some comps were thrust into the hands of my party today and exactly what I feared, transpired i.e. we walked out of the play which I earlier simply described in a text msg as 'horrid'. When probed a little further, I added that it was dull, boring, trivial, pretentious, monosyllabic, predictable and percussive.

The weather here is very changeable and we've caught some of the worst of it at times.

On the plus side, the buses seem to be particularly reliable (except on Sundays).
