Enjoy yourself. It’s later than you think.

 

Olden Community Garden…

A hidden 2.5 acre green oasis runs along the railway embankment in Islington. A stone’s throw from Highbury Fields and Arsenal Stadium is Olden Community Garden. Stuart & I visited for Open House.

You can sit beside the lawn, listen to birdsong, follow trails through woodland, meadow and orchard, and discover vegetable patches and a wildlife pond. Lovely. Oh, and a beehive 🐝

How the Other Half Loves @oldvictheatre…

Last Friday night with Stuart went to see How the Other Half Loves at The Old Vic in London’s glitzy Waterloo. Alan Ayckbourn’s domestic farce serves up adultery, dinner parties and spectacularly bad alibis. Roger Allam and Dorothy Atkinson lead a terrific cast, with Allam’s comic timing doing fabulous overtime.

Brighton 3 - 0 Arsenal…

Well, that escalated quickly. Brighton celebrated 125 years by handing Arsenal their first defeat of the season, with Gross, Kostoulas and Andrés doing the damage. Arsenal had 60% possession and apparently decided to admire Brighton’s pressing from a safe distance. A thoroughly miserable afternoon on the south coast.

Onwards and upwards, my friends.

Golden Boy @almeida_theatre…

Last night with Stuart, Darce and Wayne went to see Golden Boy at Almeida Theatre in London’s glitzy Islington.

A punchy boxing melodrama with a live string quartet, outstanding Josh O’Connor and superb Daniel Mays. Excellent play, though some characters bordered on caricature.

Heathrow Pods…

I love monorails. I love funiculars. I love elevated railways. And now, apparently, I love Heathrow Pods. These futuristic driverless electric vehicles whisk you between Terminal 5 and the car park in minutes. Four seats, luggage space and absolutely no driver to judge two excitable big kids enjoying themselves far too much.

Ipswich 2 - 4 Arsenal…

Seven wins from seven, and Max Dowman is apparently determined to make being 16 look embarrassingly productive. A brace, plus goals from Madueke and Merino, had Arsenal 4 up before Ipswich remembered they were playing too. A few late nerves, but comfortably through.

Onwards and upwards, my friends.
