After a whingey start to last week, things soon picked up, I’m pleased to say.<\/p>\n
On Thursday I had lunch in the Dorchester with the Sister and the Brother; it was the Brother’s Christmas present to us. \u00a0Fabulous food, great service, as you would, of course, expect. Unfortunately, at the end of the meal I came sashaying out of the Ladies’ Powder Room with my skirt tucked in my knickers. \u00a0Fortunately, the Sister was behind me, or I’d have sashayed through the foyer and up Park Lane liike it! \u00a0As I said on Facebook – you can take the girl out of Essex!! \u00a0And as a “friend” said on Facebook – “Good job you had some on for a change!”<\/p>\n
And then, on Thursday afternoon I found an apartment. \u00a0Yes! \u00a0Now all I need to do is win the Euromillions to pay for it. \u00a0Seven en-suite bedrooms and four reception rooms, in Mayfair. \u00a0Very nice! \u00a0\u00a39,000,000. \u00a0The Sister and I saw it in Harrod’s Estate Agents in Park Lane.<\/p>\n
On our way home, the Sister treated me to the cinema with a voucher she had. \u00a0We went to see Last Vegas. \u00a0Okay, it’s not the best film ever made, but it’s funny and light and good entertainment, especially as a follow up to Twelve Years a Slave, which, as I said, was harrowing. \u00a0And being of “a certain age” I could identify with much of it.<\/p>\n
Friday brought lunch with the Daughter, whch is always a delight – especially as she paid! \u00a0Whenever I start to complain, seeing her makes me realise just how blessed I am. \u00a0Love you, darling! \u00a0And then I whizzed to Ilford to see Auntie J in hospital, then up the A12 to Holloway and rehearsal for the sketch I’m in with Sally-Anne at Anna Scher Theatre Birthday Celebration next Friday. \u00a0The journey home was awful – why does it always pour with rain on a Friday night?<\/p>\n
Saturday brought my drama classes at Stages Studios. \u00a0I love those two groups! \u00a0They always work so hard. \u00a0Unfortunately I had a coughing fit through the first class. This was followed by a casting at the Ealing Studios and on the way back I started to feel really awful. \u00a0It was getting dark and absolutely teeming with rain and then for about fifteen minutes, there were huge flashes of lightening. \u00a0My eyes hurt with the glare of the lights. \u00a0By the time I got home I felt really poorly. Then through the night, I was burning up then shivering with cold. \u00a0Every time I blew my nose a cannon went off in my head and when I coughed a razor blade was run down my throat. \u00a0If I turned my head it took five secods for my eyes to catch up. \u00a0Then my voice went completely. \u00a0Today I dragged myself to the doctor’s to be told “It’s just a throat infection” \u00a0JUST?????? \u00a0How very disappointing! \u00a0He prescribed Amoxicillin, complete rest and Paracetamol. \u00a0If you need to contact me please use FB, text or email as I can’t talk.<\/p>\n
On another subject, the final edit of Singles and Spice – that’s the name I’ve decided on – is complete, so I’m just waiting for the wonderful Lisa Moreno at Vanilla Gecko to complete the art work for the cover and we’re good to go.<\/p>\n
And I’ve gone through the 300 followers barrier on Twitter, thanks to Kim Nash.<\/p>\n
Right! \u00a0I’m going to post this and then get back into bed. \u00a0I’m not a very good patient so it’s a good job I’m looking after myself!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
