New local site


Courtesy of the JEP I found a new Jersey forum called the Channel Islands Online Community. I have done so many searches for sites from Jersey, or the Channel Islands (did you know there are some Channel Islands in California (see image above)? Oh you did huh?) how did I miss one. Makes me wonder what else I have missed.

Squished

We went to the Opera House tonight to see Dial M for Murder. Very impressive - much better than the review in the JEP sounds. I overheard lots of praise as we made our way out. But the seats are so squished together. We were first row dress circle tonight, able to look down at everyone sitting with coats and bags bundled on their laps, struggling if someone needed to pass them. We had sweets with us, and there was nowhere to park them. I couldn't help but think affectionately of the seats at Cineworld, where there is ample room, and well as little cubbies for drinks/sweets on each seat. In my seat, which was verging sideways on the stage, I had to twist slightly sideways to get a good view, but doing that made the arm of the chair dig into me.
