I appear to be a day behind myself but hey ho!
So Thursday, yesterday, was first ‘proper’ rehearsal day over at the Barn. Also the first day working with David O’Brien. We worked on two of the sketches first, Amazing But True (ABT) and Street Tuff (ST) which I have performed before… but not with the music and the fabulous dance routine at the beginning of ABT! Also a bit more character definition and trying to iron out my little habits!!
We then worked on the first section of MTL, again more character definition.
We had lunch outside and then went for a walk around the grounds of the Barn, discovering more sculptures, naked people on sticks, went up the mound and admired the view…
Back to work and we worked on Parts 2 and 3 of MTL. Finished just after 4. Was quite intense and I came away with slight scrambled egg head!! Really good though, helpful to have someone watching and directing and noticing the things that you do that you don’t realise you are doing!
So got back about 4.30 and spoke to my lovely sister, and sort of to Maddie although she wasn’t really very interested in me….well her birthday present won’t be very exciting will it?!
Then was dinner time, mmm pizza was yummy!! My last meal with the Powneys 
We had a candle and everything! We watched Jane Austen’s ‘Emma’ in the evening, the one with Gwyneth Paltrow, Toni Collette and Ewan McGregor, was quite good, although Beth told me all the things that annoy her about it before I watched it…!
Then packed all my stuff up, I’m going home this weekend and when I come back will be moving into a new house so all my stuff is back in suitcases!
Went to bed about half 11….zzzzz…..
