It’s been a weekend of coincidences and spooky connectedness. The coincidence is that I spent all day Saturday with Dan as he cheered me on in the Swimathon and helped me celebrate afterwards, and Sunday playing for Rachael Hunt’s class at the Phyllis Bedells Bursary. Chris Hampson was one of the judges, and Lynn Wallis (Artistic Director of the RAD) oversaw the whole event. Now who could have foreseen all that when, 14 years ago, Dan, Rachael, Chris & I (among others, of course) were all larking about in the sea off a Greek Island and in the pool of the Hilton in Athens when we were on tour there with ENB? Or that having just done the Swimathon for the first time in the previous year 1992, when all those people sponsored me, I wouldn’t do it again until 15 years later, and then see them all on the same weekend?
