Welcome to the Blog of the Kindly Cuppa
40 Cups of Tea With 40 Friends
is my goal in life.
And it must be done before 10th July.

If you would like to be my friend and earn a QCT (Qualifying Cup of Tea) then let me know.
No. of QCTs to date: 18
I only need one more cast member for One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest. Today's audition took place in my office. It is not often that I have people in my provincial lawyer's office pretending to be psychopaths. Of course a lot of provincial solicitors are psychopaths, but not in my office. We are all well-balanced, composed and efficient.
So - we are nearly there. Only five days until the first rehearsal, but I am holding my nerve. I WILL be fully cast. I WILL get people who are right for the show. I WILL have a significant stomach ulcer by the end of July.
I have reached that point in the Summer where the amount of time I spend on Fringe stuff just about matches the day job. Today I have been organising auditions, banking cheques, paying very large bills, and scheduling rehearsals. My e-mail inbox is positively sizzling.
It is hard work being one of the proprietors of the fifth best theatre company in Lanarkshire.
