Yesterday’s visit to the dentist proved inconclusive and I endured another disturbed night.

Jackie and I spent the day shopping – groceries for the household, scarves for Jackie, dental supplies for me. At one point we arrived at B&Q but neither of us could remember why we were there – we walked aimlessly up and down the aisles a few times and then left feeling rather embarrassed.

In the evening, we drove to the Watford Palace Theatre for the one and only performance of 200 Years. This is a piece written by Watford’s African Caribbean Writers’ group to commemorate the 200th anniversary of the abolition of the slave trade. The writing was, I think, quite brilliantly pieced together by Director Gbolahan Obisesan and performed with energy and passion by a troupe of five actors. Much credit to all concerned.
