overyourhead - some irreverent musings by a gay London guy - crawling though technology, love and life... so you don't have to.
Last night Stuart and I went to see Martin Guerre at The Old Vic in London’s glitzy Waterloo. A reimagining so radical it still can’t rescue this lame duck of a musical. The folk inflections are all very well, but a little musical surgery cannot disguise the underlying problems. From the creators of Les Misérables? Les Mis it ain’t.

It’s that time of year again. First batch of Highbury homemade quince jelly boiled, filtered, sweetened, tasted, jarred up, and labelled.
Goes well with the sloe gin!

It’s that time of year again. First batch of Highbury homemade sloe gin decanted, filtered, sweetened, tasted, & bottled. Second batch infusing. Nice pink colour. Tastes magnificent, if I say so myself. Hic! 😉🤪
And Stuart’s excellent quince jelly was jarred up too.

It was lovely to be invited to help Dip celebrate his 40th birthday on Saturday. Great food, great company, lots of laughs. Cheers buddy X
Talking of Ted Lasso. Have you watched the most recent episode? Season 4, Ep 9?
No spoilers.
But that closing shot. It caught my breath. The way it was filmed. The last gesture, the movement of his head had me in tears.

Tonight’s supper a Yotam Ottolenghi recipe; chickpeas with baharat and orange recipe. Let’s see if Stuart appreciates the 12 gloves of garlic. Lol
Dave is in town over from Melbourne so what better excuse than to go on a little bit of a pub crawl last Saturday with Stuart, Darren, Darce, and myself 🍺 🤣

On Sunday night Darce and I went to the @royalalberthall to see an orchestral performance of Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone.
It was fantastically played by @royalphilconcertorchestra. Very entertaining and great fun. Hogwarts, but with considerably better acoustics.

A brilliant Friday night in Hastings and St Leonard’s. Rumbling up two funiculars with Paul. Then cocktails and burgers with Simon and Charlie too. Then Think Floyd. And Charlie put me up for the night in his fabulous marine apartment. Good times.
