"Women always figure out the truth. Always!"--Han Solo
We've put both operas to bed. Elixir finished Saturday night, Fledermaus Sunday afternoon. At the last performance, before coming onstage in the second act I felt unusually sleepy. Moira and our friend Pui-tak came to see it.

Beatrice didn't announce what we're doing next year like she did at the final show last year. On Thursday night the opera group is coming together to take turns with informal singing, which sounds fun, but that's the same night as my History Discussion Group!
I like the weather just now, with some snow still on the ground but the temperature above thawing. (I've come to see March as a favourite month of mine.) I've put away my winter coat and brought out my spring jacket. This afternoon I visited the Davenport and Wychwood library branches to see if I could spot any books suitable for my Classic Book Club or my History Discussion Group. I didn't find anything, but I really just wanted to get out of the house!
Since I have some free time now, I went to see J.J. Abrams' Star Wars sequel The Force Awakens tonight at Canada Square. Lots of plot elements from the earlier movies getting put together in a new way. It was competently made, but meh. I think I'm too old for the fantasy adventure genre. (In middle age I've come to understand how my parents felt about this kind of entertainment--or didn't feel--back when I was young.) It was a bit sad to see Harrison Ford reprising Han Solo: unlike Mark Hamill and Carrie Fisher, he outgrew this kids' stuff. I could have seen it in 3-D, but didn't bother.
