Well, the show is over, so no more putting on tights and wigs to stand under the stage lights in the ridiculous heat. Not for a while, anyway. It went, in the end, very well—could have done with bigger audiences but we broke 500 so we should be easily into profit. Sadly, I no longer have reason to perform The Alto's Lament, a duet mostly unappreciated by audiences who don't realise we're singing the harmony lines in it. (Check it out on YouTube, it's brilliant.) However, my Modern Day Matilda poem was a success: someone phoned me to ask if she might borrow it to read at some kind of mini-performance, and somebody asked if I would whip him, please. Hmm.
I was pondering, last week (as we moved Bun into her new, superior flat), how the windows on the Gherkin are cleaned. I'm really hoping for regular emissions from the top, so that water runs down all over it, but I suppose if that were the case it probably wouldn't be referred to as the Gherkin. How does such a building get cleaned?
Loafing today (I nearly fell asleep in front of my computer after lunch), apart from the new Body Balance routine (which features Kris Allen singing Live Like We're Dying as the Strength track). We have started watching the DVDs of Lie to me, which are quite fun and very much along the same lines as Bones in terms of implausibility. Not, so far, such a likeable team, but still enjoyable.
