On Being Connected

A strange day yesterday, one of contrasts. I came unstuck at work for most of the day due to 'connectivity issues' with my laptop. How did I become so reliant on the thing? Why is it necessary to send out so many messages just to keep up with the ebb and flow? What has any of this got to do with actual teaching? Frustrating, much. 

And then it was off to watch the musical Hamilton as performed at the theatre at Marina Bay Sands, in completely the wrong frame of mind. Having got myself there doing my man of the people thing on the bus, with Saravanan for company, I wasn't exactly looking forward to three hours of musical theatre up to 11.00 pm and severely doubted that I'd be able to get into the show.

Gentle Reader, I was wrong. The three hours were up there with the very best I've ever spent in a theatre anywhere. Relentlessly astonishing stuff. Glorious. Just ridiculously brilliant.
