First Post

Well, peoples, the time has come (I said) to talk of many things. Of shoes and ships and sealing wax, of cabbages and kings. And why the sea is boiling hot, and whether pigs have wings.

Or indeed of anything other than the abovementioned. Lewis Carrol (Charles Dodgson) must have been out of his tree. (Hmm, that's possibly some more work for him).

Anyway, after seeing the movie Julie & Julia I reckon it's time to start posting a blog (and to get right into this cliche thing) a journey of a thousand miles begins with one step. Problem is, my blog is most certainly not going to be about cooking (it may get an occasional mention). In fact, what it will be about at the moment is still indeterminate. But hey, let's not let that get in the way of things. Certainly a lot of events will popup that are going to be of interest.

For instance, today I have returned from one of the very last rehearsals of "No Sex Please, We're British" which is to open for Wyong Drama Group on 5th November. Like any play in the last week of rehearsal, this was far from perfect. I've never been involved in a play where an extra week or two of rehearsal before opening night wouldn't have gone astray. The poor souls in this play have only had nine weeks of rehearsal - I always like to get in twelve. However the play has a very athletic highlight done by Duncan Mitchell which I really should keep mum about for now. Duncan in fact does it twice in the second act. And it's almost worth turning up to the play just to see that!

Oh well, let's see what transpires, or do I really lead a humdrum existence as my wife Sharon would have me believe??
