"There is a crack in everything/That's how the light gets in..."

Culture packed weekend with Ma Bonner.  Friday, took her to her first ever rock 'n' roll gig -- L Cohen Esq at London's bijou 02 Arena.  We were five -- count 'em -- five rows from the front, courtesy Ms Lorca Cohen.  Highlights?  Way too many, but I nominate "The Partisan" and "Suzanne".  Then, boozing with SamAndSimone Upstairs until very late.  Ma Bonner is now a Nick Cave fan.  Who'd have thought..?

Saturday, post-breakfast with Ma and a cameoing LaLa, to Stratford-Upon-Avon and David "Doctor Who" Tennant as Hamlet, with Patrick "Captain Picard" Stewart as Claudius.  It was a melding of sci-fi brains.  Phasers to stun, polarity of neutron flow reversed, Tennant sparky.  Long drive back to the Bonner ranch.

Sunday, playing with the cat and eating roast beef.  Weight:  a smidge under 11 stone.

Then, later, the Lock Tavern and a 3am touchdown.  Good work for a school night.

Weirdly, BBC1's going dead pastoral singer-songwriter as I write.  J Buckley's "Hallelujah" on some generic BeebEeeCee trail, and N Drake's "Pink Moon" playing in Holby City.

Wha' 'appen to the world..?  What did I miss..?
