Have to take daughter to various extracurricular activities, all day long! [emoji33][emoji23][emoji33]
PostNord is really keeping me happy this year! They’ve just delivered a gorgeous card from Ed! @ZEROPILOT, please tell me the truth: did Kelly pick these? It’s very beautiful.
And no, you don’t write like a 4-year-old: all your R’s and E’s and D’s look in the right direction. [emoji12][emoji23]

P.S. I love the way you think about gløgg, not snow. [emoji33]
Given that it’s Denmark, these decorations are more likely to have rain drops than a dusting of snow in them anyway [emoji23]
The Danes built beautiful castles.
I hope your sore throat goes away quickly and doesn't turn into anything worse
Beautifully photographed too. I love your postcardsAnd today our city looked beautiful. As daughter said, it's the most beautiful street in Denmark. (Ouch!)

A very impressive building. Outdoors and indoors !Good evening all
Today’s “Heaven to Hell” tour was backstage at The Globe theatre in London.
This theatre is a reconstruction of the theatre originally played in by William Shakespeare over 500 years ago. It has an oak frame, thatched roof and wattle and daub walls.
You start at the top (heaven) and end up under the stage (hell)
Given the theatre is open to the weather - no roof over most of it - hell was a little chillier than reputed
From the outside:

It’s the other side of the River Thames from St Paul’s Cathedral

We were guided by the Head of Stage, the man responsible for the management of the non-acting side of productions. He has been there from the start, around 20 years, and knows everything!
Up in the rafters is the den of the backstage crew

And the topmost shuttered window to the stage where performers can also be harnessed up and “flown” through a trapdoor down to the stage; it’s a long drop!

That is mean, to post such delicious looking food. Now I am hungry.And finally into the basement props and costume stores.
There are two costume stores. The one we saw is the Elizabethan costumes made in the same way, and from the same materials, that they would have been in Shakespeare’s time. The only concession is rubber added to shoe soles to stop actors slipping if the stage is wet.
We were allowed to handle the clothes and they were so heavy! There’s a lot to be said for modern clothes

And here our, and your, tour ends. I hope you enjoyed it.
We headed off for a traditional pub roast Sunday lunch. The choice was beef

I’m not sure I’ll be eating anything else today
I think I will ask a MOD if posting pics of ( human ) food can be forbidden .....
