Well dear reader, it has been a while...too long in fact...how the devil are you? I have, of course, been far too busy. Having just got over a strange, flu-type bug, I was struck down with only my second ever migraine yesterday morning, which completely wiped me out for the day. The session I ran in the evening was quite surreal in that it felt like an out of body experience. I think I have been overdoing it to an extent, so have decided on some early nights and a return to a more healthy regime. I spent Sunday morning with two cast members from a West End show running a workshop. What a pleasure it was to work with two professional people who were so pleasant and talented. I came home feeling rather inspired by it all, only to find that some amateur goings on were going to spoil the day. I have maintained a silence on the issue over the years, and will continue to do so as it is a bit vulgar to write about such things online, but needless to say, we have made a decision that has caused a little upset, which is always a shame. I have tried very hard not to let the issue cloud my mood which is variable to say the least. I move on to a driving lesson later on today, followed by a trip to see the latest Harry Potter film with youngest. I struggle a bit with the Harry Potter films. I'm sure they are all good, and aimed at an audience that cannot count me in it's number, but I just think they are so dull. The books weren't dull, well, not overly anyway. I think the films just became a bit lazy. I have no problem as such with big effects and drama in a film, that is after all what gets the bums on seats, but they just seem so calculated. Anyway, it will also be a slightly interesting experience for me, in that I haven't read the last book yet, so I will be seeing parts of the plot revealed on the screen for the first time. I promised myself when I started my degree, that I was going to avoid frivolities such as reading for fun, and Harry Potter was the first casualty. Not that I have been particularly bereft over this. I found the last one I read to be a little turgid, and I found myself screaming for something unusual and unpredictable to happen...Maybe it does in the last book? Maybe Harry and Ron admit their undying love for each other and elope to Croydon? I doubt it. So I shall report back with a fervour and passion you could only dream of.
I couldn't of course, let this blog update pass without mention of Spurs, and their fantastic win over Arsenal at the weekend. How fantastically exciting it was. 45 minutes of gloom ending in thrills spills and passion...I hope Harry Potter can boast the same.
