hooray 28 January 2008
Hooray, back on the laptop. I suppose I should explain that times are only unhappy (see yesterday’s blog) because myself and Owen are feeling old by comparison to the lovely lads who grace the younger roles in the play. We still have a bit of go in us, it’s true, but I would say we are more careful of ourselves than we used to be. Richard (imaginary hubby) says when we are away in cold countries and there’s snow I walk like a little old lady – very VERY care-ful-ly, so I guess that’s more of it. You wouldn’t think I was being so careful though if you could see the bruises on my legs at the moment. I bruise really easily anyhow, but doing a show always brings more and my left leg is in a terrible state. I can’t work out what it is I am doing that is causing it but it really hurts at the minute and I look truly battered. I am having to make up my legs to hide the marks because I am convinced it would frighten an audience to see such a sight. Tonight, in the middle of a scene I will probably knock into whatever is causing it, will be too busy to do anything about it and probably forget by the end of the performance, which is naff all use and will assure a continued cycle of bruising. Ah, the glamour…
