Listened to the new Streets album on the morning walk home today. It really lifted the spirits in a way that only Mike Skinner can. He is a bit of a Marmite character in many ways, and I know when I have mentioned my liking of the Streets before I have been criticised heavily, but I just like the humour and the approach. He has a lot of narrative on the songs, which I think people miss due to the lack of love for rap. It is their last album, which is sad, but I love it already. A week of lots of voluntary stuff this week, which the way things have been going lately, fills me with a bit of dread. I have a feeling that this will be the week that I lose my temper with it all...I will try to avoid this at all costs. FAR too many important things in life to worry about without it being spoiled by small mindedness. A good friend of mine gets incredibly frustrated with the voluntary sector, and whilst we both like the feeling that helping can give, I do wonder if it is all worth it some times.
Rehearsals for next weeks shows went ok, though I still have kids who dont know what lines are theirs..I wonder at times!
Talking of lines, I had a better rehearsal tonight and felt like I was able to act a bit, so feeling a little better about it all now. Still not sure I will appear on a stage for a while again though. I'm sure the Nation will refrain from mourning about this for too long. Tuesday is quite a clear day for me by the looks of it apart from a meeting in the evening, so looking forward to it.
