The Official Nonsense Thread

[Caspin]

I've finished the first series and have just started the second. It's quite funny and there are loads of interesting characters. Not as good as Breaking Bad, perhaps, but entertaining all the same. One of those programmes where you find yourself rooting for the criminals!

I had a very weird week - I injured my right arm so have been struggling to do simple things like type, wash my hair and carry cups of tea. It was a bit like having tennis elbow but without the tennis. Fortunately it's getting better now. I'm going to have to wear one of those tubular bandages at yoga to remind myself that it's injured, otherwise I get all overenthusiastic and excited and start attempting things that are not really feasible.

Despite being physically incapacitated to a small degree, I was still able to go to the cinema and the theatre this week. I saw Ian McKellen as Sherlock Holmes in "Mr Holmes". It was quite a sweet film but I somehow managed to go to see the captioned version of the film and it was quite hard work to avoid reading the subtitles, particularly when there were two girls sitting just behind me who would occasionally read them out to each other!

On Friday I saw Measure For Measure at the Globe. That was hilarious and very saucy - terrific fun. It was baking hot though, even though I was right at the top where you get the best chance of a breeze. I don't know how the actors manage to keep going. I guess they must guzzle buckets of water when they go off stage. And all the people down in the pit looked like they were wilting.

Right, I'd better get on with some ironing. It may take a while with this dysfunctional elbow!
