He's a very funny man

Apologies for my non-appearance last night. I got back rather late (about one:30 in the morning) after seeing Eddie Izzard performing. His show only ran until about 11 or so, but the journey back home from Wembley proved to be an arduous trek, fraught with peril, danger and... well ok, no peril or danger, but it was a bit chilly and involved three different tube trips followed by a bus ride. I was consequently absolutely exhausted this morning and spent most of the day at work looking rather tired. Fortunately I happened to be surrounded by other people who also looked rather tired so no-one really noticed. I didn't ask what their excuse was.

I'd never been to Wembley Arena before, so I didn't realise quite on what scale the venue was. I'd imagined something along the lines of a theatre, perhaps a little larger. It turned out to be a lot larger. A lot larger. I should probably have been a little suspicious when I saw the sign advertising binoculars for hire. As it was I found myself far back enough from the stage to be looking at a very small man standing on a very large stage. Fortunately he was wearing high heels which helped (oh, as did the extremely tall video screen behind him. Probably more so than the heels in fact).

I wish I had more to say Eddie Izzard, other than that he's a very funny man indeed. But I really can't come up with anything more amusing than the man himself. If you get the chance to see him I recommend it.

Now, if you'll excuse me, I need to get back to writing some more Christmas cards. I've only managed to send out one card so far, which I really ought to be quite embarrassed about. Come to think of it I am embarrassed about it....

Sigh.
