Hi All,
I'm still here, but have been away in various places over the last few weeks. Latest destination was Inverness where we went to the recently refurbished

Eden Court Theatre. I've also been called upon to refurbish a couple of magnificent Marshall combo amps from the 1970's for a local band, which filled several days. Consequently there's not been much time for crosswords or forum lurking, but I did finish this week's RT last night in about 45 minutes whilst watching Gareth Malone trying to tame 39 wild primary school boys.
Mostly fairly harmless, but at first I wasn't impressed with 1D. After studying the only answer that fitted I found the wordplay, which is actually rather neat. More of a Grauniad clue than RT I think.
Got to go and rig for a gala opera concert which is in the theatre tonight and then we have a performance tomorrow of "Messiah In A Day". A scratch chorus from all the choirs around the island and some students from the Royal Northern College of Music are starting rehearsals at 2pm and performing the whole thing at 7:30pm. I just hope it's not too awful. More info
