A quiet weekend (for a change)

For a change I spent a day in Cardiff on Saturday (who’d have thought). Perhaps I should backtrack a little. Friday night was our wrap party despite us having another two weeks of filming. It was lovely to see everyone and for once not have to dash off to do something mid-conversation. Thankfully it wasn’t too much of a late night so I was still able to enjoy my weekend as well as celebrating on Friday.

Saturday as I say was a quiet day, very productive though before I headed back to college to see ‘Rage’ at college. It was nice to catch-up with Emma beforehand and to be back in college (I never thought I’d say that about college). It was another Simon Stephens (they really do like his work), but for aching it felt very different and contemporary. Quite how the cast could do it for an entire run I don’t know as it was very physical, very full on, but great to watch. Afterwards it was great to catch-up with the cast and crew.

Having had a quiet day in Cardiff, Sunday had to be a trip out of Wales as I can’t sit still for that long so I popped across to Wimbledon for the day to catch-up with the ever delightful Renu Setna, who kindly invited me over for lunch. We chatted for most of the day as well as Renu showing me something of the area, as I can’t say I know Wimbledon at all (apart from walking through it late at night one day, but that’s another story). After a relaxing and lovely day I headed back to Cardiff after (as ever), a relaxing and what felt like a very long weekend.
