Think No Evil Of Us, & Spuds

I have always liked Kenneth Williams. Well I suppose "like" is the perhaps the wrong word to use when describing my feelings towards the waspish comic. I always "enjoyed" his one man show. Flaring nostrils,bitchy comments and a flair for wicked and self indulgent speeches, I always suspected he was a better performer than a stable friend(or even an enjoyable dinner guest) .The Kenneth Williams Diaries and The Kenneth Williams Letters supported this insight and tonight we were entertained with similar themed one man show Think No Evil Of Us – My Life with Kenneth Williams by writer and performer David Benson. The likable Benson linked his own dysfunctional family life,( with a mentally ill mother ), with stories of William's rather unlikable self loathing personality, and in doing so humanised both characters.I thought the whole production was rather clever and at times very, very funny.


We rather enjoyed the evening.

This morning I planted six large rows of early spuds, I remember reading last year that to gauge when it is right to plant potatos, old country folk used to "dip" their bums into the dirt.....if it wasn't too cold for them to do so, apparantly it was the right time to plant out....... think I will skip that........
