First time in nearly seven years I've spent a day alone with meeware. Both the kids were at forest schools, and we walked all over Stanmer Park, revelling in the peace and harmony (and tasty pasties from Proud Country House)

Planning for next term's home education topic: Primates. All ideas for activities, child friendly documentaries, visits and books welcome!

It would normally be a show week for me this week, but instead I've performed in a musical radio play youtu.be/V53Xa46D-mY

Eastbourne performers! I need you for the production of Pirates of Penzance I'm co-directing eastbournegands.com/pirates-of-pen… (especially young tenors and mezzos) << Please RT <<

Post #Eurovision musings... IMHO, Italy won because the song captures the mood of the times more than any other: raw, real, hungry for hedonism. Also the singer is hot and totally pulls off the guyliner thing.

Excited to get these in the post this week: gender equal playing cards. Tried them out with the kids this evening; a successful game! #queeng #kickstarter #playingcards #feminism #genderequality instagram.com/p/CP_jAr2sxkE/…

Trying to register for a free English National Opera ticket for my daughter but the system isn't working for me. Registered twice and had email confirmation, but box office can't find me on the system. Supposed to be at HMS Pinafore on Saturday. Help!

A little something I worked on...

Gosh I've been quiet lately. It's because I've been busy rehearsing for this show, which is on in 2 weeks bit.ly/3iMcFWg Please come and see it if you can!

Teenage daughter, once an avid Caroline Lawrence Roman Mysteries fan, has moved onto more gory territory with Cliff McNish's ghost stories. Both excellent writers and lovely people. She is a reader of good taste!

Fabulous afternoon at Glyndebourne schools performance of The Marriage of Figaro. Such an enthusiastic audience and a wonderful atmosphere. Bring on the next gen of opera buffs!

Any of my friends/followers moved over to Mastodon? Hit me up with your handles. I'm all alone so far!

Nice lunch Moshimo Brighton today, apart from the kale crisps which were supposed to be like tempura but all the batter had fallen off and was in separate little clumps. Looked unappetising and tasted greasy and bland. Disappointed.

I've not been active here for a while, and I gather many folks are switching to Threads. I'm there too if you want to connect threads.net/@rowanstanfield
