RSC Shrew

So jack came up this weekend, partly to help me get the flat sorted out and partly because the RSC were visiting to put on a child-friendly performance of The Taming of the Shrew.

( review-ish )

So anyway, that was fun. We also managed to finish most of the last bit of sorting out the flat, including acquiring and building a proper wardrobe after my temporary clothes rail collapsed at what was either a really fortunate or really unfortunate moment. My friend GS from shul had come by on Saturday and helped me to put in curtain rails, which was another major step towards making the place liveable. And today I provisionally accepted an offer on my old house. Obviously there's a whole lot that could go wrong between now and actually exchanging, but I am feeling somewhat hopeful that I'm going to be able to move on to the next stage of the plan, the scary stage that involves trying to buy a home in Cambridge...
