I may have mentioned before that I have always liked Thursdays. I am not sure why, but they have always given me a little warm feeling. I seem to remember that Thursdays were always good on the school timetable, Top of the Pops was on, and later in life, it was always pub night and the last day of work the next day. I have a slightly odd working week now, so the whole weekend thing doesn't do it for me, but I still get that little frisson. I have today however, started a new After School Club. Today was spent as follows; 10-00 till 3.00, Admin, Writing, planning, and general office duties, 3.30 till 4.30 new after school club, 5.00 till 7.00 Thursday session, 7.00 till 7.30 Grab something from the chippy, 7.30 till 10.30 rehearsals. To add to this busy day, my voice started to disappear at around 6.00 and was fully gone by the end of rehearsal. Now dear reader, please do not think that I am in any way moaning. I have a rather excellent life, but it was with relief that I hit the hay at last and fell almost instantly asleep. I am now a wee bit behind novel -wise, which I expected with a day like that. I have some time to catch up over the next few days, as long as this bug does not floor me. In other news, I have decided the exact nature of my 10 minute play. It is, well how can I put it, nauseatingly disgusting in its conception, and I am not going to write the subject matter in my otherwise angelic and pure blog. You will remember the premise was that it had to be Funny, but borderline not funny, and intended to make the audience squirm a little considering what they were laughing at (or not laughing at). I told Mrs Plug, and she sat mouth open, but she DID laugh! I have, over the years, used shock to get a reaction and to gain attention. I realise that this is perhaps a little childish, but in this case, I think it is OK. My therapist of a few years ago didn't seem to think that it was a problem, and that in fact the majority of successful people in my field are dreadful show-offs. I'm not sure she really got what I did. It does make me wonder though, where it all came from. I suspect that as my novel continues apace, I will find a few answers to that particular question.
