Oh for heaven’s sake Dear Reader. 2012 is dashing by at the same speed as the past year did and not a blog entry to be found!
In no particular order – a small update.
Theatricals are taking centre stage (see what I did there) at the moment. Currently in rehearsal is ‘Cash on Delivery’ – a very funny farce with lots of cross dressing, being knocked out by doors and ‘in one door and out the other’ moments to keep the audience amused. Next on the agenda for February (one night only) is The Vagina Monologues which we are performing once more in aid of the Island Women’s Refuge. We had SUCH a laugh doing this last year and it was so successful as a fundraiser that it was decided to wheel us out again this year, vajazzles and all! And lastly there are auditions next week for Calendar Girls to be performed in September in Cowes. Whilst being somewhat dubious about the stripping off thing and needing to lose half my body weight at least a stone, I am going to go along and see if I’m successful. Watch this space.
Apart from that, the Smallest Baby Boy is one on Friday and has just taken his first steps (he is a lazy little git) and he and the SBG are coming for a sleepover with Nanny and Pops at the weekend. Whilst this fills me with joy, it also fills me with dread as you can’t take your eyes off the SBB for a nanosecond otherwise he’s on / in / under or behind something. Either that or he’s jamming something totally unsuitable (including parts of the cat) down his throat – parcel tape is currently looking like the best option…..
Apart from all that, there has been gardening – well why not as it’s so flippin’ mild and a few undercover projects on the go to be revealed in due course…
These are busy but exciting times, Dear Reader and I shall update soonest. I may meet myself coming back (as my Nan used to say)…
Glad to hear that everything’s ok Amber and that you’re just busy!
OOH The Calendar Girls – how marvellous!
Looking forward to hearing about your undercover projects in due course
Big hugs x
All is ok Al. Dad is still with us but there has been no improvement at all and he’s now given up speaking all together which is very tough for his partner. They’ll be discharging him soon and we’ve found a nice nursing home for him to go into. It’s all very depressing! I’m going up again to see him next weekend and also sorting my friend June’s stuff out so not looking forward to it much!!
Hope all is well with you. xx
Sorry to hear about your Dad…persevere with his speaking. Hum songs gently too him to encourage him to respond – and as I’ve said before, breathe at the same time as him – so he knows he’s being listened too and that his own attempts at communication are being valued, however small. These are little music therapy things I do weekly with patients. What a difficult visit it will be – but I hope it went ok – big hugs & come visit whenever you want! xxxx
