First outing to the theatre in 2026 last night to see The Rivals update to the 1920s at the Orange Tree, Richmond, long since sold out. Dame Patricia of Hodge is simply divine as Mrs Malaprop. I'd say she's at the pineapple of her career.

This beautiful little chap has come to see me in the same spot in the park across the road three out of the last four days. He's already eating mealworms out of my hand.

We're now going to expect migrants to have a better standard of English than a large percentage of the born-and-bred population - including most of the far right flag shaggers - who don't know the difference between they're, their and there, or spell the word separately. FFS.

Perfect autumn walk in Bushy Park. Warm sun on your face plus a gentle breeze with a slight chill to it. And a magnificent creature saying hello.

I bought this waistcoat in 1999 for an audition (JW Wells in The Sorcerer) to bring me luck against a chap who'd played it 5 times. I got the role and it's become famous having been worn for some 30+ auditions since - and only auditions - and has yet to fail me.
