Gimme the Cash!

I joined Pete this morning at a rehearsal of a performance which starts at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival at the end of next week. We were there to take publicity photos, having undertaken a similar task two years ago. The company is more than twice the size now and so is the stage. The photos are embargoed until after the first night so I can't tell you any more, or, regrettably, display a photo today.

Instead you see a posed phone shot taken at the Berber Shop this afternoon. Lewis is reluctantly handing over payment to Aziz for a lovely silver bracelet that Aziz had made for Lewis' daughter's birthday tomorrow. Everyone was laughing. Aziz had told him that he would always regret coming into Loughborough because his wife and daughter would make him come to the shop to buy something.

Last episode of Montalbano tonight. I am not at all surprised that tourism from the UK to Sicily rocketed after screening Montalbano. The stories have such charm and you come to identify with the chief characters as close friends. Even Mimi.
