Saturday in the city

Saturday we headed off into the city. The usual gang minus one. Still off we went to see 
Agatha Christie’s The mouse trap.  

Not usually what I like but a day out. Is a day out. 



Once again Clare got great seats and we settled down to watch the show. 
I was pleasantly surprised. It was funny and engaging. 
And I didn’t see the end. I had no idea who had done it!

After the show we needed up back at our favourite roof top bar and enjoyed a couple of drinks in the sunshine 



After which we headed off for dinner and then back onto the train home. 

I learnt two things that will help in the future 
Take my walking stick. ALWAYS 
And take pain meds before you even start, because once the pain becomes unbearable it’s too late 

Other than that. It was a lovely day out, with good friends, on a Beautiful autumn day in the city

    1. Absolutely. Last time I went into the city I took my walking stick and I felt much better. Live and learn

  2. I just watched a movie on Netflix a few days ago that plays off of Christie's "Moustrap" play -- it's a 2022 movie called "See How They Run." You might enjoy it too, especially since you've seen the play!

    1. It was rather good. A few laughs along the way. If you get a chance to see it I recommend you do

  7. My goodness but I am sorry to hear that your otherwise happy outing was besmirched by pain. I, too, know that is like. For one thing, it puts a distance between the sufferer and his/her companions because to talk about it will bring them down, but to not talk about it requires that they be deceived.
