Liverpool
I first met Nu way back in 1989 and for much of the early 1990s I socialised with her three physiotherapist friends in Sheffield and in Liverpool.
Tonight I was reunited with all three, Dymphna, Gráinne and Hillary as well as Hillary’s husband Brian and Nu’s Hubby Jim. over in Liverpool and 27 years after we first met nothing very much had changed at all.
True , we all agreed , that most of us were now wearing non prescription reading glasses and all of us possessed more wrinkles than we cared for having but the banter was as loud as it ever was.
And the laughter was as raucous as it was in the ledmill circa 1991 where the girls referred to me with the bizarre and unlikely nickname of cheese n’ chives and I felt joyfully tearful when they yelled it at me again when I left them all, very squiffy in a lovely crowded Italian restaurant on Bold Street
Antigone
Unfortunately some aspects of the play didn’t work as well. The young, presumably student amateur actors in the supporting roles were wooden and awkward compared to the leads and the occasional use of 1980s pop songs intended to support and lighten the piece was a mistake.

When I was a student nurse I had a placement with the district nurses in The Manor which was the well recognised roughest part of Sheffield .
