Oh the bliss! \u00a0The relief! \u00a0The just plain LOVELINESS of finally having my furniture out of storage and my own things around me once again! \u00a0I have boxes and bags everywhere, both upstairs and down, but I’m going at my own pace, unpacking and unwrapping as familiarity slowly surrounds and envelopes me. \u00a0And sleeping in my own bed again! \u00a0PRICELESS! \u00a0I’m happy to be living back within Greater London, not least of all because I am nice and near Theatreland. \u00a0After my bargain ticket to see Handbagged, I was fortunate enough to get another one to see The Importance of Being Earnest, which was great, especially as my friend Carol Dance is in it. \u00a0We went for a drink and a catch up and it was lovely to see her again.<\/p>\n
It was lovely, too, to have the Daughter all to myself for 24 hours last Friday-Saturday, and we both went to the seaside, to Clacton to see the Sister and for the Daughter to see her aunt’s new abode. \u00a0It was a glorious day so we went down the front for lunch and then sat on a terrace with a jug of Pimms. \u00a0I’ve grown quite fond of Pimms, which is strange, because Pimms is gin-based and I’ve never liked gin. \u00a0Well, until now, obviously!<\/p>\n
And once this chaotic muddle at home turns into peaceful order I’m sure my head – i.e. my thoughts – will, too. \u00a0At the moment I’m carrying the end of the Cinderella script, the rest of Single All the Way and a further trilogy which is my next writing project. \u00a0Is it any wonder I’m in a spin? \u00a0But the sooner I get on with the writing, the better it will be. I’m so looking forward to being at Avocado Cottage next week so that I can have a huge writingfest.\u00a0http:\/\/avocadocottageantigua.wordpress.com if you think you might like to stay there.<\/p>\n
Tickets for the world premier of Singles’ Holiday at the Brentwood Theatre, 13-17 October have gone on sale and are selling like the proverbial hot cakes! \u00a0You can get yours from the theatre website: \u00a0http:\/\/www.brentwood-theatre.co.uk\/showdetail.php?seq=665<\/p>\n
My friend J and I finally got together for lunch today. \u00a0We’ve been trying to see each other for about four weeks and something’s turned up at the last minute every time. \u00a0But not today! \u00a0We had a good lunch at the Optimist, Hornchurch, and a long chat. \u00a0J is one of my oldest friends, from school, and we still get on as well as we did then.<\/p>\n
And some joyful news; the talented Lisa Morena, who does my book covers and website had a little girl, Evelyn Jessica, born on 24th July. \u00a0Mother and baby, both beautiful, both doing well. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
