Good morning, Mick and all who follow from a wet Torbay.

Last night we went to see a performance of Crown Matrimonial in Paignton, in which several of our theatre company members were performing. It covers the period in British history involving the abdication. Sadly, towards the end of Act One, the leading lady (Queen Mary) fainted after struggling, uncharacteristically, with her lines. The stage manager had the presence of mind to bring the curtain down.

The ambulance came fairly quickly and the lady was taken to hospital. Several Toads Theatre (our amdram company) members were in the audience to support our friends in the cast; some of us waited in the bar where the Theatre Manager soon announced that the play would not proceed. I have no further news.

When we reached home, it was to the news that my DD2 has tested positive for Covid. She has been double vaccinated but, as DH of a large Primary school in Staffs., she is in daily contact with the virus. I hope to speak to her later this morning. I’m so glad that olddudders is still here for a few more days.

I've slept little but look forward to reading happier news from others here. ?????
