Show Me The Way To Go Home...!
Hey Everybody!
Back home again for the weekend and living the dream! My folks' shower kicks butt out of the one back at the flat, plus I'm able to have a bath again (although right now this is also able to be accomplished at the flat, as the shower plughole is blocked AGAIN, so now you can stand in the shower, close your eyes and imagine you're standing in the shallows of a tropical lake with a waterfall *lol*)!
Mainly been slouching about in a pair of trackies and a T-shirt I made for French when I was in my 2nd or 3rd year of secondary school (on the front it's supposed to say "Wise words of an actress in training..." and on the back "...practise now and you'll make the play!" in French, but what I've actually got I think is slightly off the mark: "Les mots sages d'une actrice en bouton...vous pratiquent maintenant fera la piéce de théatre". I don't know. You tell me.), and feeling like a proper little student...Mum, bless her, has done all my washing for me and been providing me with plates piled high with food, including, tonight, a fabulous roast dinner. She was really happy tonight because, as she put it, her "two babies were both home again" (me and one of my older brothers, Paul). I love her to pieces! I'm going home in the morning - back to Birmingham and time to knuckle down once again!
Went out for a drink with Dave last night to catch up on all the gossip since I've been away - poor guy's going through a nightmare at the moment re: his ex and their little girl (who is, by the way, an absolute cutie), so I was glad to be able to administer sympathy and outrage in liberal measures. He seemed in a bit of an odd mood for most of the night - not manically happy, but certainly "buoyant", I think is the word I'm looking for. I just hope it lasts...he's been put through so much he hasn't deserved, and as an old friend I only want the best for him. He and I first met when I was onstage in pantomime a few years ago and he was one of the technicians for it, and the friendship has flourished from there. We're fairly close - when one of us is down or having problems we'll call the other for a pep talk and a pick-me-up - and when I'm home from uni we'll go out to see a film or go bowling at a multiplex a few miles out of town (we're a couple of big kids when it comes to playing on the toy-grabber machines in the archade!). Last night was just a drink and a chat, because he had to finish doing the rig for a show, but hopefully we'll be meeting up again sometime in March!
Got a bit of a cold/'fluey type-thing that's doing the rounds at uni at the moment, so I'm hoping it won't put me out of action completely...can't be dealing with another hospitalisation due to chest infection! Fingers crossed...
I'm off to have my second bath of the day (yippee!) - more when I'm back in Birmingham!
*hugs to all*
