About 24 hours ago I was at work. Since then I have chatted with visitors from the National Theatre of Scotland and other friends old and new at the opening Festival reception, heard a witty and informative pre-concert talk from Max, been chilled and gripped by Psappha's production of The Lighthouse chamber opera, had a (thankfully minor) audience-participatory role
in the overwhelming and fantastic Oiseau Rouge 2 circus cabaret hosted by the more than satisfactory Ivy Paige in a Belgian speigeltent, heard local musicians Liberty at the Festival Club and miserably failed to dance, slept briefly, had thought provoked by a talk on 200 years of activities of the Northern Lighthouse Board in Orkney by Bob McIntosh, eaten paella and then garlic prawns for lunch at the European Market outside St Magnus Cathedral, and staggered home for a cup of tea.What have you been up to?
Share your thoughts here, or (if you can express them in 140 characters) tag them with #StMagFest, follow http://twitter.com/stmagnus and tweet!Must dash: "Transform Orkney: Mixter Maxter" is only about an hour away. Hopefully there is *just* time to grab some bread, cheese and olives on the Kirk Green before that!
