After yesterdays depressing mood, I was not exactly leaping from my bed ready to take on the day. I'm not sure if it is the weather, the time of year or the position of the moon, but I have struggles a bit in the last 24 hours. However, the mood soon lifted with a phone call and an email. The phone call was to talk about the acting job that I hinted about yesterday. It is for the Charity MIND, and it sounds really exciting....so I have provisionally accepted it, with a feeling that I may have taken on too much again, but you only live once. The second piece of good news was in the form of an email, announcing that a play that I directed last year has won an award. It's funny isn't it, but when you watch the BAFTAS or the Oscars and you hear people banging on about how awards are just the icing on the cake and unimportant, you kind of believe them.....Well I don't anymore. Receiving an award for something you love doing is Fantastic! So I would like more awards please :-) There is even a ceremony in May that we have been invited to in order to collect the award. How utterly thrilling :-) I am like a small child who got the birthday present he wanted :-) Back to reality in that I have a 5 and a half hour workshop to deliver tomorrow. I have received little if any communication from the organisation that have hired me, and it is difficult to build up any degree of enthusiasm for it. On the other hand, the organisation appears to have been hammered by the cuts already, so I cannot blame them in any way. I suppose this is the shape of things to come.
