A theatre trip last night was the best way to mark a post-season @rainbowowls.bsky.social break! 🎭

How Could I Forget? is a triumph: such a subtle, touching, witty & expertly performed musical about dementia that deserves a long run. 💙

And I'll be digging out my old White Stripes & Strokes CDs! 😉
