at the National, REALLY GOOD.

DAY 42: Up early for tour of the National Theatre, info about all 3 theatres, some stuff backstage...very good and interesting.

DAY 43: Had to go back to [Cliveden?] to get more money, no choice, it's in the bank. So I brought some groceries, had lunch, did my laundry and finished up the last pages of a book (and got a couple more out of the [Cliveden?] library). Met Jules at 6:00 [and?] trotted off to see the friend from [Tours?] we'll be staying with. He wasn't home so we watched the Olympics on TV with a house mate then a decent sitcom then went to MacDonalds for dinner (nearby and easy). Gave our host a heart attack when we finally saw him, and then talked about the past 6 weeks until 1:30 in the morning (he had to go to work Friday too .. EF [Hutten?], London).

Both were quite good - the farmer played a lot off the audience, but there wasn't much of one so it wasn't as
