Sugar
Hi All, sorry I have been absent from blogging for a while. The photos I have just bombarded you with are from the production of Sugar (Some like it hot) that we did in May. The photo's are all copyright to Mick Bell - standing next to me in the group shot. He is a local photographer who luckily is the brother of two cast stalwarts, Margaret and Anne. Margaret has been cast as the eponymous Mame of our next production in October. I have been cast as Agnes Gooch, a daggy unimaginitive secretary who gets a fabulous makeover and a night on the town only to return pregnant and terminally daggy. It will be v. funny.
Work has been keeping me hugely busy. Going from 3 short days a week to 5 long ones was a culture shock. The school holidays never really happened for me. The systems that we thought were in place were not systems at all, so it has been hell! Susan, the boss therapist is a very gentle woman who talked me down from the ledge a couple of times. We are working things out between us, but it's not boring.
G and I are buying another car. Initially we have been looking for a vitara like we used to have, but in the last few days are thinking we might get a newer station wagon with fewer miles on the clock and better fuel efficiency for the money. Problem is that we'd know what we were getting with a vitara, but neither of us has much experience of different models of station wagon.
the house is coming along. G is laying bricks today. He is working from the bottom of the hill upwards in logical fashion. The footings have been done for a while and the tank dug out. It will hold 20,000 litres of water in case of bush fire. once the blocks are laid I think they can do the bottom slab. All these are terms I never knew before, but I have to keep them cluttering up my brain so I can tell people what is going on.
Time to go. Love to all.
