The second box

I've finished the first box. 

It took me ten weeks. There were 89 theatre programmes in it. Of those I saved ten.

Things I've learned:

• Typing so many names makes me realise just how many uncommon names there are, although I suspect this is partly because people can't have the same name as another actor.
• I've forgotten so many things - sometimes I've forgotten that I've seen something, other times I've forgotten what it's about, and a lot of the time it's been both. It turns out there are people I was certain I hadn't seen who I have very definitely have seen. With dementia and Alzheimer's being such a worry for us all discovering how much I've forgotten is a bit scary.
• There are a lot less adverts in programmes now - the local theatre one used to include ones for local shops but that's all stopped. 
• It's interesting seeing other stuff advertised in programmes and makes me wonder why I made the choices I did because the other stuff, which of course I might have seen and forgotten, often looks more interesting than what I actually saw.

So it's time to open the second box:

I got a bit excited and started sorting through that before I remembered that I ought to take a picture so I shoved it all back. The lid used to fit.

This box seems to have a large amount of dance and Art stuff in in but there's still a big pile of theatre programmes to get through:

I'm already very excited about some of the stuff I can see in there.
