^ Hope you get through tomorrow alright. I don't think I could cope with the Irish open coffin habit. I have Irish relatives so know about it but haven't been to any of their funerals so haven't had to actually see it - I suspect I'd scream the place down, having never seen a dead body before.

Oh, dead bodies are no problem, it's the live ones that cause all the problems for me. As Dawnstar knows, it's almost 7months to the day when I witnessed my neighbour at number 9 murder the man at number 8. Old Bailey last month was an experience ...
(For the curious, google John Martin Kingsbury).

The Irish rellies are descending for Uncle Pat's funeral tomorrow......... etc......Oh gosh, tomorrow will be a long one... Having grown up around lots of Irish, your lot seem like pussy cats.......... Good luck tomorrow - I'm sure there'll be more stories to tell.

Put a dampener on my evening at Titanic. And Romeo and Juliet a few days later might not have been the best idea.
I get a name check in The Irish Times, Wednesday 1 Feb 2017. My Irish parents would be so ... Hmm, I wonder what they'd have said.
But I did get to say "c*nt, c*nt, you f*ck*ng c*nt" in the witness box.

Got to do pancakes again now for one of the mini Tibis who wasn't here on Tuesday. SUCH a chore.... I also need to cheer up the other mini Tibi who seems to keep getting the same driving examiner who obviously hates her *cough cough* (or owns the local taxi company and will miss our contributions too much every time she misses the school bus........sorry...every time the school bus comes early. )

Taking it extremely easy today - I now have six days off work, no theatrical trips this week, but I'm going to see Elbow at Hammersmith Apollo tonight, then Daniel Kitson at the Bill Murray tomorrow afternoon followed by Thievery Corporation at the Roundhouse in the evening, then down to Brighton for a few days, including seeing Peter Hook and The Light at Concorde 2 while I'm down there.

Went to the Library. Bought a lawnmower. (Not at the library I hasten to add).
Enough excitement for one day.

My day is going well so far. We have three of our favourite people joining us for dinner. The curried parsnip soup is made, the beef is slow cooking in mulled wine. the veg prepared and the bara-brith pudding prepared and chilling (that's a Welsh thing). Trouble is, now I want a glass of wine and it's far too early - oh bo**ocks, get me a glass of something white and chilled!!!

Telling both my sisters today about Uncle Pat in his coffin wearing glasses and shoes we were trying to think if we gave the undertakers shoes for our Mum when she died ... Which led us to the conversation with the lovely undertaker as to what they would want for, er, dressing the body. My elder sister the drunk had sorted through Mums wardrobe and had an outfit for her, but had thrown all her underwear away, and had to buy new knickers for our dead Mum..
Stuff you can giggle about years later ..

I gave in to the hype and bought Ed Sheeran's new album. Castle on the hill is just too damn catchy.

It was rubbish. I have a stinking cold. Work was stupidly busy and despite the 5 of us working our absolute arses off, we still finished the day 60 cases more in our group inbox than the start. A racing pigeon (who we named Ringo) that took up residence at ours in September and has eaten in the garden and slept on our roof here every single day/night since, has mysteriously decided to sleep elsewhere and only sometimes eat the gourmet platters we put out for him every day. Coh and I came home to an empty house after said crappy day at work.
However, on a much more positive note (so you don't think I'm feeling at all sorry for myself 😉) this week we're seeing Sue Perkins, Hacksaw Ridge at the flicks and then off to Crufts on Saturday to cuddle lots of dogs and watch my friend show her dogs in the ring.
So it's not all bad!

Hadn't dropped into this thread for a while. Good grief, it has more drama than anything I've seen at the theatre lately...

A rubbish day pondering whether I fit in or am welcome on this forum.

We're theatre kids, we'll never fit in anywhere. But I do hope you'll stick around anyway.
I'm off to see Fences this evening. In hindsight, when my co-workers asked about my evening plans, maybe I should have stopped *before* gushing about Ma Rainey's Black Bottom and how I need to get more August Wilson into my life.

I'm sad because a co-worker is leaving for a new job (amicably, at least!). The weather is annoying. But I had good cereal this morning.
That's all!

I saw something earlier suggesting it was cereal day so cereal was a good choice.

Ultimately the good outweighs the bad I guess and my attempts to discuss theatre on other forums I use related to football, professional firing systems and roller coasters don't seem to bring about decent discussion so I guess I'm stuck here keeping the different worlds apart.

I had my car washed properly for the first time in years, resulting in a substantially cleaner vehicle than I ever achieved myself with a bucket and a sponge. Now I'm terrified of getting it dirty again, which is ridiculous because a couple of days ago I was happily driving over soggy verges on single track roads without a thought for the mud that was spraying up on to the roof.
It won't last. I have to go out tomorrow. I have a choice of the boring A roads or the fun unclassified roads. It'll be the latter. Goodbye clean car, hello mud-brown one.
