Alphabetically speaking, the first tag in this blog is 'ballet', and I haven't done a post on the topic for ages. So there was clearly a need to do something about that, and so LC and I went out to see "The Snow Queen" at the Festival Theatre in Edinburgh on Saturday. (Or something. There might have been some other reason, but what could it have been?)
Anyway.
We arrived at the theatre nice and early, in plenty of time to find our seats and to pre-order our interval drinks. (That last is a particularly nice idea - it meant that at the interval it took us all of 20 seconds to get our drinks rather than waiting in a lengthy queue.)
The performance itself seemed to fly by. I made the mistake of not reading the plot summary from the programme before it started, which meant that while I got the basic plot, some of the finer details were lost on me. Plus, it didn't help that none of the characters had names.
Still, it was a well-staged performance, with good music, good dancing, and a third thing to complete my list.
And that's more or less that. The only other things of note are not really anything to do with the performance - Scotrail managed to let us down again, which meant I had to endure the horrors of driving both into and out of Edinburgh; and Funsize actually slept right through the night on Saturday, which both meant that we were able to get some sleep... and also that Nana and Grandad did something different when putting her to bed that made all the difference. Still, it proves that it is possible.
