Went to see a one man play tonight about Ray Gravell. It was very funny, very touching & very Welsh

Went to the Art Gallery of Ontario this afternoon to see the Guillermo del Toro exhibition – it was amazing. I came here in April & saw Georgia O’Keefe so doing well.

Went to the Bernie Sanders talk at the Hay Festival today, with my daughter. He was very inspirational & as an added bonus the wonderful Michael Sheen conducted the interview afterwards.

Sound & Fury

We went to the Globe today to see Macbeth. I haven’t been here before – it was a solid production, the globe allows for more interplay with the audience which is good fun. We lived it up & had seats & cushions

When my daughter was about 6 we spent a few months playing Pokemon Diamond on her Nintendo DS. It was a really good game, she could progress, didn’t get frustrated, we worked on strategies together, etc. So, when she came round tonight we downloaded Pokemon GO. I won’t go into all the issues and stories that are going around. It was quite fun to see a Pokemon in the real world. But I think it’ll wear off quickly for me. It’s a long complex game and I don’t want to be wandering around doing this. But I did think if there was a whodunnit or crime noir one where you had to find clues around your neighbourhood, that would be quite fun.

Daughter and I went to the Hay Festival today. We saw Jim Baggott talk about science of creation and then Billy Bragg in conversation (he sang a few songs as well).
