Saturday. Part play day, part chore day. Off to the city to do a few things including #lateagain to meet up with some colleagues organising a rally to oppose the language on a certain cheap camper rental company's cars. Nasty business.
Then, off to a Beckett play. Now, Beckett is not what you would call a laugh a minute type--it was gripping, thought-provoking, pause-for-thought Beckett. 'Happy Days', though not for all. Tonight, the entertainment continues with an opera, Candide by Bernstein via Voltaire. I can't wait.
On the way back from the play and towards the opera, I paused at one of the new vantage points at South Bank, the restored section of the Victoria Bridge, a beautiful sandstone structure I'm pleased they have preserved.
I hadn't yet had a chance to get a close up look. I was at first intrigued by the shadows cast on the stone...

| It's South Bank, it's all about the wheel, really |
It will be a nice spot to get some different perspectives on the city...and that can't be a bad thing.
