Entry for 17th June, 2008

I have missed you little blog, but I have been busy directing my little show. Fear not though, for now my venture to the Fringe is over, and I have returned an older man if not any wiser. So, now I shall catch up - and not only with you little blog, but also with all of the little things that I have been neglecting. You know - like DIY projects, paying bills and the children.
Doing shows is a rather peculiar hobby when it comes right down to it. It involves about 8 weeks of intensive effort, where you can't really think much about anything else. So you run up overdrafts, neglect creditors and allow dust to settle an inch deep on the carpet. And at the end of the 8 weeks you spend a week putting a little show on in a sweaty hall in Edinburgh. By that time all of the team - actors and crew - are either best friends with one another, or hate the sight of each other.
But it's worth it. It really is. Just to feel the life in your veins for a week, and to enter that little universe where time seems to flow differently.
I'll tell you few stories over the next week or two.
