Hamilton

Too much of my morning was spent queuing inside of Wilko. No queue to get in, instead I was sidewinding across two aisles because my local branch only had two tills in operation. Though I can generally sympathise due to the pandemic, my fondness for Wilko wanes every time I visit a Wilko.

Returning home Rebecca and I cracked on with a big tidy up which was a little overdue. Her parents are down next weekend so we got the drop on some of the bigger jobs so there wouldn't be a mad rush this time next week. Rebecca pushed the boat out for dinner and prepped some homemade pizzas with, wait for it, cauliflower bases. No bread at all, just blitzed up cauliflower and a bit of cheese pressed into a pizza base and topped usually. Sounds bizarre, tasted like pizza - wins all round.

Speaking of wins, we watched Hamilton while leeching off Mark's Disney Plus account (thank you Mark if you're reading). The first half of the show was sensational, great tunes interwoven together, meshing fun tunes with themes and character motivations. There's a lot going on under the hood and the more you think about it the more you mind begins to boggle. The second half didn't quite carry with it the same momentum, while the rap battles were entertaining, they came across a little gimmicky, especially when the rest of the songwriting was so confident. I can see why its so cherished though, Daniel has long been an advocate for the show and I'm glad I can finally chime in on the jolly vibes he exudes whenever he chats about it.
