At last!

So this might be a long one... And I'm having difficulty remembering what I've done. Which is annoying. That's why I don't like to leave it this long. I don't like having gaps in my life!

Friday 2nd Feb - Savoy fundraiser concert
Concert was quite good actually - I've not heard most of them perform before. It was a very poor audience though... Afterwards I accidentally got drunk and stayed up late.

[Get outta my dreams, Billy Ocean, just came onto my iPod. You all need to know that I used to think this was Get outta my fridge.]

Saturday 3rd Feb
Met up with ex-Housemate Kat for a curry, combined with a trip to Leith to find a material shop and some other various costume/shopping stuff. Went home about 5 and went to bed. Was tired and felt awful.

Sunday 4th Feb
Nowt, maybe.

Monday 5th Feb - Notes on a Scandal
Went to the cinema with Caroline and a friend. Very much enjoyed the film.

Tuesday 6th Feb
Pass.

Wednesday 7th Feb
Went to Glasgow with work. Pass.

Thursday 8th Feb
Adam came to the pub after orchestra!

Friday 9th Feb
Pass.

Saturday 10th Feb - The Ball
I went to Savoy's 45th Anniversary Ball and had an excellent time. I did my usual trick though - had a lovely and sensible evening until getting exceedingly drunk and forgetting. Oops.

Sunday 11th Feb
Gondoliers sing through followed by watching Dave get his hair cut off. That was weird.

Monday 12th Feb
James tried to make my internet work, but the router is broken. Pah. Kelly came and helped me do some cutting out of material for costumes.

Tuesday 13th Feb
Went to Irvine with work. It's far away. Well, ish. I didn't finish there until 5.30, which meant I didn't get back to Edinburgh until 8, so I missed my production meeting at 6. Oops. Went to bed.

Wednesday 14th Feb - Valentine's Day
Spent the day in bed, alternatively sweating and shivering. It was ace. But I suppose better than realising the rest of the world is being romantic!

Thursday 15th Feb
Spent in bed again, followed by a short trip to the pub to see Caroline for her birthday, and Shaun and Nat who were visiting. I was pretty lame and not out long.

Friday 16th Feb - home
Still wasn't feeling great, so didn't go to work. Which meant I could get a lift from James (THANK YOU!) earlier in the day and got to my parents' house for about 5. Saw my parents pictures and mum's bruises (she fell off a horse whilst they were in Cuba). Then had dinner and showed them my photos from America. My dad said there are some very good photos, but he doesn't know how as they are all random. They saw my glasses for the first time, and the general consensus is that they are ridiculous, just like me. Everyone was a little giddy, but maybe I just noticed cause I didn't drink.

Saturday 17th Feb - MUGSS Show
Up early and to Bolton to swap my router. Then into Manchester to Abakhan/The Attic/Primark to do costume stuff. I miss those shops. Then met Dean for lunch before dropping Carl's car and stuff at Liz's and joining the soaks at the Mark Addy - traditional show week ritual. Had a great day catching up with people. Then The Show. I've realised over the years that I don't often enjoy watching shows. Oops. That's probably why I get involved - so I don't have to watch. But as shows go it was good! I enjoyed seeing all the effort of the set and costumes, and how co-ordinated the cast were. And Rosy! Rosy was blue!!! The aftershow party was fun too. Me and Carl left about 6. Oops.

Sunday 18th Feb
Up at 10 to get into town to meet Charlotte, etc. It was lovely to see everyone! It made me want to move back. Now I am all muddled again.

Monday 19th Feb
Now. I'm at work. I have a headache. Owie. I think caffeine is just about helping.

So there you go! Not as bad as I feared. Just a few days gap in the memory. And gmail wasn't working at the time, so I can't even check there. Grrr...

I've got 35 costumes to make in 1 week. Panic! Ish. It'll all be fine. I just might not be able to enjoy Melissa and Gwen and Liz and Andrew and Cass and Andy as much as I would like to when they visit.

I want to waffle about lots of other stuff in my head, but first I need to let it swim around a little longer, until it is coherent. So for now, I shall go to the bank and material shops and rehearsal and home. I look forward to home.
