Today was rehearsals at the Barn, Rachel dropped Ollie off at the office first, then we went off to the Barn, just me and her today as Dave has gone back to Wales. First things is to switch the heaters on, get out a table and some chairs, make a drink and get out the biscuits. We ran through the sketches for Saturday and went through All About Abi too, which went fairly successfully! We then attempted to learn a new sketch which for some reason was determined not to stick in our heads! We tried for a while then descided our brains were tired and we needed a break…so we watched an episode of ‘The Big Bang Theory’ (I’ve never seen it before – kind of American Comedy). We then went back to the script…still not happening. So we ate biscuits. I decided it wouldn’t stick in my head because I hadn’t highlighted it BUT I didn’t have my pink highlighter with me, so had to do it in another colour and then get another copy highlighted in pink to go in my folder… That sort of helped. We then line ran More To Life with only a few hiccups (quite literally). Then we sat and waited for Mike, Ollie and The Pizza. (Not really sure why The Pizza has capitals, just does) They arrived about 1.10 and The Pizza was a meat feast yummy one. We chatted about stuff and I waffled on about something to do with creativity that I have no idea where it came from and they laughed at me. Then Mike left and we went through the sketches and All About Abi with the amazing technical genius that is Ollie. No scripts needed and only the second time he’s seen the sketches. Amazing. We then discussed some of the games for Saturday – lots of fun including XXL mens pants! We then headed back to the office to sort out costume and props for Saturday. I really think they go out of their way to make themselves, or in this case me, look ridiculous. If there are photos you will see what I mean. Then we went home via Tesco for Apples (Prop), Chocolates (Prize), Bonjela (I have a nasty horrible ulcer L) and Petrol (106.9p which made Rachel very excited!) Got back and spoke to Lewis, watched Neighbours, wrote out my recommended reading list for the year, had dinner, watched two episodes of Hollyoaks, rang my nan, spoke to my mum, uploaded photos from my phone, put some music on my phone, wrote this blog entry and I’m just about to watch Mock The Week!
