San Diego 2

Maxwell traveled out with me to have an Easter holiday and help me settle in, but has been grounded till heaven knows when by the ash cloud. He's booked to go out on Tuesday but the signs are not looking hopeful.
And Adrian, who is directing the Madness of King George and Lear is due to arrive on Monday, but may well not... The entire company will be lined up, the refreshments will be ready, but we are all at the mercy of the volcano. At least we will be allowed to get on with fittings. Unfortunately Ron Daniels, who is directing Shrew, is working on a production of Bohème, [or possibly Traviata] in Denver and won't be here either.

Meanwhile we have been choosing fabrics and the 'drapers' have been cutting trial shapes, which is going very well - it's a very good wardrobe.

I have taken the brave step of renting a ”woman's step through“ bike which will be delivered on Monday morning so that I can ride to work through the park in a stately sort of way.
