We made a rare visit to the cinema last night to see the recording of the Barbican production of 'Kiss Me Kate' with Alan Dunbar. It was thoroughly enjoyable and an excellent respite after the last week in the Church of England.

A lovely day today. One of the congregation brought Galette des Rois to share over post-Mass coffee this morning and a visiting choir meant we had a festal evensong and benediction with more cake this afternoon.

Next summer's 'big' holiday will start in Nashville in late August - for a Laurie King event and Bouchercon - and end with several days in Chicago. Suggestions of places to go and things to see in both, and on a road trip between the two, would be very welcome.
