Happy Australia Day!

I'm at Mum and Dad's place in Newie, catching up on sleep (it's so relaxing here), being too well fed, watching televised sport and reading Richard Matheson's original 1954 novella of "I Am Legend".

Earlier, I rendezvoused with PG and DG and we saw the play "The Philanthropist" (1970, revised 1985) by Christopher Hampton; the tale of an academic so accommodating of the behaviour/opinions of others that he loses all sense of himself. This production was staged by the Hunter Theatre Company at their modest Lambton digs. It was directed by an old acquaintance of ours, DH. Decent script - slightly dated and overlong, but also amusing, startling, witty and it covered a lot of ground. Bravo to DH, cast and crew...even if they did make us passively smoke umpteen herbal cigarettes.
