Stuff, various

[pensnest]

Thanks, everyone, for your opinions on the Dragon Challenge. Looks as though I can go ahead and open signups on Monday, yay! We are in for a succession of treats, I hope. Now, if only JC's album could be released.

You know, it is nice to have one's daughter in the house, but really, it gets *expensive*! We went to see 'Wicked' and 'Jump' last week, and yesterday to 'Avenue Q' (thoroughly enjoyed it, the sex scenes were hilarious!). Which involves train fares - admittedly, when you can get four Travelcards for the price of two, that is not so bad - and, as it turns out, having dinner out as well. (She was peering over my shoulder a moment ago, and pointed out that I enjoyed it. Well, yes, to be sure.) Still, she goes back to Bristol tomorrow.

I spent the morning teaching about fifty ladies (in two shifts) to make cards using glass paints. They descended on my pile of papers and peel-offs with gannet-like voracity! However, there were some very nice things produced, and as usual I learned from them. I always pick up a couple of new ideas, assuming I remember them next time I sit down to Create. It's also quite satisfying persuading people who are 'not artistic' to create something they can be pleased with. Plus, they gave me a fee (as well as materials) which is to be donated to the Stroke Association, so I can feel noble.

sounds like a most productive few days :D (and isn't Avenue Q *brilliant*?)

It is a *lot* of fun. Also, it was a great deal easier to hear the words than it was at 'Wicked', despite not having taken advantage of Bun having the entire cast recording on her computer. My Boy grumbled about being dragged out *again*, having been out last week - really, he's a born hermit - but had grudgingly to admit that he did enjoy himself.

Very clever stuff.

Dammit, the cat is sitting on me again. I think purring must have evolved as a manipulative device. It is impossible to push a purring cat off one's chest.

So very very jealous of you... Wicked AND Avenue Q!

I should be grateful to Bun, really. If not for her pokepokepoking me I'd not have got myself organised enough to go.

Heeeeee, what did Bun think of "Jump"?

God, I wanna see that again! TOO funny!

She enjoyed it muchly, as indeed did my menfolk. Hey, you never know, maybe they'll tour with it in your neck of the woods. :-)

Hee - icon!

Hee!

And I certainly hope so. My best bud/sparring partner SO needs to see it!
