When we returned from Mull we were a bit disappointed to learn that Braemar had bathed in sunshine during our week away. Ah well no good crying over spilt sunshine. Soon after our return John Macpherson joined Julie, Richard and I on a visit to Pitlochry Theatre to see the new musical Whisky Galore! What an excellent night, with a very high feelgood factor. My face muscles ached because of the smile that remained the whole evening. The music was inspiring, the acting first class, the choreography slick and cheeky, the set and scenery outstanding and the story funny and very entertaining. What a cast, what a crew, what a treat. Before Julie left on the Friday she agreed to cook her wonderful Green Thai Pork again and we invited Doug round as he was heading off to Australia at the weekend. Dinner was delicious. Unfortunately I fell foul of a 36 hour tummy virus which left me with stomach pain and exhaustion on Julie's last day. So she became my nurse, poor lady, on the day before she had to travel once again overnight to London.
I was quite well by Saturday morning and that evening we made our way to Pitlochry once more, this time to see The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie. A totally different evening from 'Whisky' but no less enjoyable. Helen Logan who played Jean was as good as Maggie Smith in the film. She was on stage for a good two hours and had lines all the way through. How do they remember so much?
