Most years since we've come to Nelson, there was a local Shakespeare production every summer, often outdoors, involving many high school kids and other young folks. In recent times the focus switched to professionalism, with smaller cast, but this year's Comedy of Errors went back to the older style, just superbly choreographed and rather polished. It's always fun to spot actors we saw in previous productions as well.
Ben and I were the first ones to arrive on Saturday, and though I have no way of knowing for sure, there may have been between two to three hundred in the audience, enjoying a balmy summer's evening with picnic food and good company.
I've been a super late convert to smartphones, but with the Covid tracing app, I'm having to get used to it. I finally started carrying around Ben's old cell, only because manual recording of places became too "onerous" when I'm in and out of half a dozen shops just to pick up/drop off things. The good thing is, Ben's phone has a superb camera, (which is why he bought it ages ago in the first place;) the bad thing is, since it's an old phone, if I take too many photos the battery dies within hours, which doesn't exactly help when the primary purpose of carrying it around is the QR codes.
