In my defence, I don't really have anyone here to go with - or to suggest that we go. I am also without an income at the moment so trying not to spend!

I don't think I'm generally too bad at making an effort - when I was in London my preferred was of getting around was by foot (often looking upwards and around), and I would try and explore as much as possible (though when I was living a long way out the distance and tiredness got the better of me). I do walk around here a lot too. I do try to appreciate, just not so much of that has involved the theatre recently.

Ah, the theatre, unlike the pub, is somewhere you can go alone...for a fiver nikki, once a month ?

I look ip too. I think people sometimes think i am a tourist, but i am just a nut.

I thought that just after I posted. I'm not bothered about going to the cinema/ theatre on my own. I'll even go for drink in the pub on my own, and have gone for meals/ to gigs solo too. Haven't done that for a while (as had someone to drag along), but I do definitely intend to rediscover my independent streak

Apart from making excuses (!) I am being a bit (lot) of a hermit at the moment - will make an effort to go! Promise :A

The limes we pollarded have grown back a bit and they look like women with long hair being windswept. I am loving watching them.

Easier access, also for me, not having to explain to anyone where you are going/ what time you'll be back... or why you are going to the theatre on your own!

£10.50 for RSC http://www.hallforcornwall.co.uk/show/434/RSC%20Open%20Stages%20Showcase/

Plus the cost of fuel/parking, so that's another £10.

Never been, not interested.

It's not even "proper Shakespeare"

See 11 local amateur companies take to the HfC stage as part of a celebration of Shakespeare in our region. Each group will showcase a 20 minute extract of their Shakespeare, or Shakespeare themed, production to give the audience a real flavour of the diversity, ambition and talent of the amateur groups involved.

Sounds UTTERLY dire.

£20 to watch a load of old sh11te.

Spent quite a lot of time battening-down various hatches this morning, but so far it's just the usual wild stuff we get here from time to time.

The afternoon was spent in the polytunnel. That has about 4 tonnes of concrete stuck to it, plus 16 X 60cm plates attached to the legs and buried 70cm deep, so I'm confident that's going nowhere.

No ripe toms though LJ. My first ripe one last year was two days from now.....

Nice to see you again lj. Hope things are getting better for you. Glad you had a good time last night - you were in my neck of the woods

Has anyone else twigged this?

Nikkster - single (I think) and in the locale of LJ....

who last time I checked was on the "lookout"



Am I an official matchmaker or has this been done?





Sorry, but not been on much due to busy at work and thanks for the heads up on other matters zag.
