So far down the rabbit hole, I’m at risk of growing floppy ears. Currently addicted to Thomas Lupton, but always dreaming of Measure - before, after, forever. Not an academic, life got in the way. Maybe I’ll find a way back, one day.

My beautiful boy left on his final adventure last week, and I am utterly broken.
Thank you for everything Medyg - my search partner, my trusted friend, my companion on uncountable adventures.
Nearly twelve years by my side, and it will never be enough.

Decisions decisions…
I have a free evening tomorrow.
I have a ticket to Measure at the RSC.
Can I be bothered to do a 7 hour round trip to see it for a third time? (I dislike it, but there are a couple of things I want to check for my notes so that I don’t have to do it from the archive copy).

It’s going to take a while to recover from that. In a very good way. This is what theatre is for. #Cyrano

“Dido and Aeneas” as my background music as I await Cyrano at the RSC. Who doesn’t love a MfM related Tate/Purcell mashup?

I’d not paid attention to the casting for this. What an absolute treat to spend the afternoon with Jodie McNee!

Waiting in the BL for a manuscript to come up (and hoping they let me photograph it!) before a mad dash across the river for Troilus and Cressida at the Globe. (To be followed by Mincemeat tonight…again!)

Next up - 23.5Ct gold leaf time. Of course, it wasn’t until I’d tooled it onto the leather that I realised my lines aren’t quite true 😒 Still, it’s a sample board and not an actual book, so that’s a relief!

Went to see my “other” Thomas’s things today, and spent some quality thinking time in Wolsey’s Closet.

My Saturday consisted of a seven hour round trip over the Cat and Fiddle to collect this baby. Well over 100kgs of Victorian cast iron, and stairs of death to navigate with it. Luckily I am extremely bloody minded, and refused to leave empty handed.
It is now Monday, and the DOMS is very real.

A trio of washi covered notebooks, with split endpapers (I have a beautiful sample book. The issue being that there is only one sheet of each paper. This is my solution, and I have to say that I rather like it!)

Next up is the very well reviewed “The Winter’s Tale”. A play I haven’t seen before, and only vaguely know, so this should be a fun ride!

Is it just me that gets really excited to see an understudy in the role? (Although, had I not seen it before, I might be a little disappointed I suppose).
Also, I think they’ve cut a fair amount off the run time, so this should be a fun ride!

Last minute ticket for 4:48 Psychosis in the early hours of Sunday morning!
A triple bill for me this weekend then, although I might find myself sleeping in the car.

An overhaul of the 1888 edition of Mrs. Beeton - a skip find 30 years ago, that has been sat in a box ever since. Fortunately the stitching was sound! Cover off, old glue off, tapes reinforced, sewn endbands and an Oxford hollow. New leather, boards and cloth. Saved the spine print
