Vintage Victorian-style artwork of a crescent-shaped "Man in the Moon" face, set among a blue background and golden Victorian-era stars, with clouds below. He is smiling at a small cherub angel, who has flown up to give the moon some gifts of shining light. Text (in stylized cursive font) reads, "Happy New Year!"

Vintage Victorian-style artwork of pantomime clowns playing with an oversized clock face. The clock reads midnight, and a painted-whitr-faced clowns is laying over the top of the clock and pouring some champagne into a glass that the unpainted female pantomine clown is holding. Stylized text around the image reads, "January 1" and "Happy New Year!"

Vintage Victorian-style artwork showing Old Father Time with his sickle and in a brown coat/robe. He is leaning down and shaking hands with a small boy, who is carrying a suitcase that reads "January 1st." Behind them, a Grandfather clock reads midnight, and an hourglass is resting on the floor at their feet. Along the top of the image, barely visible due to color similarities, is yellow text that reads "Happy New Year!"

Vintage Victorian-style artwork showing two little girls in Victorian dresses. One is admiring the flowers in a four-wheeled wagon, and the other has a basket of flowers on one arm, and is tearing off a calendar page with the other, to reveal that the date is January first. A large evergreen wreath is above the calendar.

Yesterday was as bad - or worse - than expected.

The #pantomine was dreadful. I know I said I hate them, but it was a poor production and incredibly long. It was 3 hours including the interval, no wonder most of the children were getting disruptive.
The amateur dramatic company doing it are normally excellent, but this was, frankly, a disaster.
Even Sacha didn't enjoy it - and she enjoys everything!

My son cooked a meal for us when we got back with his children, but I wasn't in the mood to enjoy it and it gave me indigestion in the night.

Today? It's an allotment trip - we need more sprouts, and I'll see if I can get some leeks up without needing a road drill.

Have a good one y'all!

Went to see the #SensoryFriendly #Pantomine in Cork's Opera House yesterday and it was so incredible. My kid's adored it. The lights were not too dark, the theatre was only half full (by design), the characters came out before the show and showed their masks going on and off so the kids knew they were just actors. We were welcome to move and make noise. The social story and video beforehand was so detailed and helpful.
It was truly amazing for my #Autistic family 💞

The Pavilion Theatre on Renfield Street in Glasgow. Designed by Bertie Crewe in a French Baroque style, it opened as the Palace of Varieties in the 29th of February 1904, making it one of Glasgow's oldest surviving theatres. In 1920, it put on its first pantomine, an annual event that was many Glaswegian kids first taste of visiting a theatre. It continues to put on pantomimes each Christmas to this day.
