Distracted by Shakespeare
Jun. 5th, 2010 05:50 amTonight I ended up unexpectedly seeing a midnight performance of Macbeth with
mattp at Shakespeare's Globe.
We stood in the yard, and by the end of both acts, it was 3am and our feet were killing us, but we headed off to find night buses on foot anyway, walking along the south bank of the river as far as Blackfriars, then along the north bank to the Hungerford foot bridge and up to Trafalgar Square, talking all the way, about the play and how wonderful and beautiful and fabulous London is.
It's now 5:50am, and I'm finally about to crash into bed; I'll catch a little under four hours sleep before I head out again, but I'm happy, really happy.
I love my city. I'm so glad I moved here.
