Life

... not really on-topic for this blog, but it's sometimes good to share.

The fates were good to me on Wednesday - got very good seats at short notice and good price to see Jonathan Miller's excellent new production of La Boheme at the ENO. And then got home in time to see the second period of extra-time in the FA Cup Replay between Everton and Liverpool. ITV failed to show Gosling's winning goal live, but the victory was no less rewarding. Furthermore, I am assured that the preceeding football was tense but dull. Trebles all round, as they say.

The fates were less kind this morning. Up at 5.45 to head to Stansted, for a long weekend in Rome. 8.40 flight finally cancelled at 10.00. Couldn't rebook a later flight, so we're getting up at 5.45 tomorrow for a truncated weekend. I hope.

Think we'll have pizza tonight - probably cheaper here....
