Also a job. UCL is in need of a new Shakespeare specialist and well, I fit that bill so across the ocean I come

Is that different to whatyou’re doing now?

It’s a role that doesn’t require me managing people which can only be a good thing. I’m fine at managing people, but it is not where my passion lies.

Where does it lie? Just teaching?

Yes and no. I like teaching, but I like learning more. My real passion lies in getting back to my PhD.

Which is about?

It will surprise you to know that I, someone who called herself a Shakespeare specialist, is doing a PhD in Shakespeare. Specifically women. I will not bore you with the details at nearly midnight your time

I highly doubt its boring

No, it isn’t – and if you want to hear the details then I will give them all to you when I am not concerned that you should be doing something like sleeping??

Fingers crossed.

I’m going to eat some toast and go to bed

Toast with what?

Peanut butter on one slice, chocolate spread on the other

Crunchy or smooth?

Always crunchy

You can stay! Start doubling up the amount you buy! Good night

Six

T-minus four weeks until Addie gets back to London

Much Ado About Nothing is overrated

Eli, you know how I said that you can stay? I lied. Take yourself to JAIL

A favourite of yours?

Honestly, not my favourite comedy. But it is not overrated. Benedick and Beatrice are the blueprint

To what? They bicker constantly

They flirt with barbs not flowers. That isn’t necessarily bickering
