For a moment I got excited that the greatest show had arrived at my door. It was pre morning coffee.

A bank holiday of sewing... Can't put the sleeves on the jacket until the trim arrives tomorrow, so I'm getting started on the skirt...

Never in my life did I think I'd have the confidence to Stage Manage a show...but here we are. The 2nd I've done. 1st was panto, dropped in it, no idea what I was doing. Nailed it, and asked to do Wind in the Willows. #Volunteering is an amazing way to get new skills.

I'm walking to work in daylight. Like real actual daylight not dawn or a tiny shimmer of light, real actual daylight ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜

Today I've discovered that the child who hates maths has just used 'a' as an unquantified variable amount in the sentence 'Please may I have a quality street?' Smooth move kid, smooth move.

Volunteering. A ๐Ÿงต I've just finished Stage Managing our local pantomime. I've never been SM before and wow it was a baptism of fire. Opening night - production was too long - cuts made over night and given to me at 12.45. Curtains up was 14.15. I had to train 2 stage hands, edit

more stage hands, reset stage, removed now unneeded props from table. No idea if I ate. Show 3 fire alarm! Full theatre evacuation. All safe and well, build up of fog and smoke from pyros. We planned to open all doors during the turn round but forgot as too much else to do.

Luckily it was near the end. A dozen came back and the applause sounded like the auditorium was full. Show 4... Lights tech thought the show was later than it was. Couldn't get in until 45min after curtain up. Apologise to audience stating tech issues & 15 min delay. Chat to tech

The big one has been living at uni for ~7 weeks now and was having a bit of a wobble. Ironically, this time of year is known as wobble week for 1st yrs. Unis acknowledge it & have lots of support in place. I suggested he come home for a visit. He did and has left me this note ๐Ÿ˜

When your mate gets a gig stage managing a big theatre panto (paid) guess which mug steps in to stage manage the local theatre panto (unpaid) More to put on the CV I guess...Now, if only I could put all my (exceptionally diverse) skills to use in a better job. What would it be?๐Ÿค”

A boat. I have to live there, not stay there permanently and never leave. I live in my house, doesn't mean I never go out...
