Update

I haven't updated my blog in a good while, I know. But there's good reason for this. First work. I'm currently innundated with stuff I HAVE to do by the end of November. On top of that I have to answer the phone and e-mails which are none stop. On top of that I keep getting colleagues coming up to me asking me to do things which I have to do at that moment as they can't and it's urgent.
Ok work shouldn't stop me from updating, but it does when I come home feeling absolutely shattered, not wanting to do anything, when there's a load of things i do need to be doing at home (not essential, but have to be done at some point).
Now these next couple of weeks are going to be manic. Sweeney Todd is coming to an end in a couple of weeks. We've got mid-week rehearsals coming up and the get-in (seeing the theatre for the first time) on Sunday next week, then dress, tech and final rehearsals THEN the show in two weeks.
I've taken Thursday and Friday for off for the show, or I'll may die from feeling so tired. I've enjoyed these rehearsals and looking forward to the show itself, but unfortunately because of rehearsals I'll be missing Saskia's third birthday celebration. I can now see my mum's reaction...yes..i know
On the same day they're having the 'adult' celebration for Saskia, there's the rehearsal from 10am til 10.30-11pm which Tom and I can't miss unless we want to mess things up for everyone. We made up for it a little by babysitting the other day, but still it's a huge shame we can't go. However, these next couple of weeks are going to be exhausting and I can't wait until the year is over. Everything's manic.

However, the next play I'm looking forward to immensely. It's Weird Sisters by Terry Pratchet and I'm crossing every digit in hope that I have a chance at getting Magrat (the youngest, slightly ditzy witch). However, even if I don't, I may be in the postcard advertising it which is awesome for me. Auditions are in Feb and I'm really looking forward to them.

On some other random topics, I've had an old college 'buddy' contact me via friends reunited, wanting to meet up. I wouldn't mind meeting up to see if she's changed but I'm also a little reluctant as she messed me around a little in college. In the second year I was her 'convenience friend', the person she turned to when no one else was around. However, I'm willing to give her chance to see if she's changed, but I'm not going to be tagged along like I was last time.

Typhoo's extremely happy to have Tom and I there. She won't stop following us when we're at home and accepts any cuddles we give her hungrily. I get the impression she's not happy with being left for 8 hour straight everyday. But then we make up for it but making dinner, then sitting in front of the TV for a few hours before bed, whilst pampering her (I've had to clean Tom off a few times as his shirts have become fur coats)
Oh we also hugely appreciate having an iron and I may invest in one for the future.

So apart from manic work, tiring rehearsals, not much else is happening.

Oh one last thing, Tom and I went to see Borat on Wednesday. It's so offensive it's hysterical. The things he says/does are so ridiculous they CAN'T be taken seriously, which is why it astonished me the way people reacted to him. If you saw someone like him in London you'd think him a street act!
At certain scenes Tom and I were trying desperately to climb into the upholstry of the cinema chairs whilst tears of laughter poured down our faces. It makes Curb your Enthusiasm seem like a news reel. It's the epitamy of absudity and it's unbelievable he can get away with it without being arrested or put in hospital.

It's a truly funny film, not to be seen if offense it taken easily, but as I said, he's so extreme, it can't not be seen as a joke.
