A Blogger's Guide To Public Transport!

Hello all!!

Yes, it is another bloggers guide! Last week I had the unfortunate task of travelling about 16 miles on a bus, in rush hour, immediately after I finished work. I am more than aware that many people do this everyday in an effort to get to and from work. You people are my new heroes. To do this everyday must be soul destroying and yet you always seem to wear a big smile across your faces!

These are the things I would strongly advise, following my experience on Wednesday!


A Blogger's Guide To Public Transport!

• Just because you pick that seat near the front that everyone is avoiding does not mean you will be left in peace. Inevitably you will end up with some poor child trying to make conversation with you and you will undoubtedly pray for their parents to come whisk them away. However we all know that never happens!!
• Do not make eye contact with anybody on the bus unless you want to hear a full run down of what's wrong with them. It isn't worth it. Nothing is ever worth it.
• Take some headphones with you. This way you appear anti-social to all the other travellers which is a bonus if you do not want to make any conversation at all.
• Don't eat on a bus. Not only is it messy, but it smells. So bad. Also, if someone is eating next to you they will continually drop crumbs and rubbish all over you without a care in the world. Not a lot of people do this, but just be aware!

Now this is only a little guide as I only had a very short experience on the bus. This is not me saying that all users of public transport are like this, but this is just so you are aware of the minority. 

Come back soon for a new update!

No 80 - Canter Through A Meadow!

Hellooooo!

I told you I would blog a bit more from this week onwards!!  So, I know I wrote the post about the play on Sunday, however I failed to mention that I ticked off another one of my list last week!

My lovely friend Kate has a beautiful horse called Wiggy who I go ride and cuddle occasionally. Last Tuesday we went for a dog walk/horse ride and went into the stubble fields round the back of Wig's paddock. We had a lovely trot and a good long canter through the fields.

Having recently got back into the saddle following an incident when I was younger, it feels so right to be up there again!
I'll be honest, I thought I would be utterly terrified at the prospect of getting on a horse again, but it didn't faze me at all!

Wig and I then went for a little wander through the path's on our own whilst Kate did some horsey housekeeping and then we went for lunch.

I know it sounds like such a simple thing for me to have on my list, but it means ever such a lot to me!


                                                                                                                                                               

The other amazing thing that happened this week was the show!!!
I'm hoping that all you guys will join us on any new ventures that may crop up, but can I just take this opportunity to thank all my friends and family for their continued support. The show was incredible.

It say's a lot about an actor if they can hold a crowd's attention for a good solid few minutes by using  dialogue alone. To do this for a whole 90 minutes of tense drama, mystery and utter bewilderment is a true marvel. For people who do not know the story, Agnes of God by John Pielmeier is a play which explored both the sciences and the theories of religion are unearthed in a harrowing way. Agnes is a young nun who has been raised for 4 years in a convent. She unwillingly becomes pregnant and the subsequent baby is found deceased in a waste paper basket. The play follows Agnes, her Mother Superior and psychiatrist Dr Martha Livingstone as they try to uncover the truth behind the conception, birth and untimely death of the child.

Throughout the whole production, the air was deadly silent. There was almost a chill in the air as you took your seat in a quiet, quaint auditorium. Trust me, I was there. I know the play and it was still spooky! There is a lot I could say with regards to the performance, however my words would only shadow the brilliant reviews that have already been written. Because of this I will post a link to one of the reviews in a moment and you can go read what lovely things have been written about the cast and crew. It makes me so proud to be part of such a wonderful company and to have such incredibly successful and talented friends.

Honestly, The Best Thing That Could Happen This Week Would Be...

Hello all!!!

Once again, a considerable amount of apologies for the lack of blogging. The pup is taking up most of my spare time so fitting this in is a struggle at the moment. However, I have something very important to talk about tonight.

Right now, sitting here on a dark Sunday night, I get the feeling that this week is going to be a bit hellish. I know this because I had an awesome night on the town last night with some of my favourite girls, a lovely day today with the adopted family and I am about to sit down to a cheeky pizza. So why would this mean this week is going to be bad?
Well it's that old thing again...'The calm before the storm'. That and the fact that this morning I woke up with a god awful pain in my gums and it would appear my wisdom teeth are finally surfacing, to my absolute delight :-/

So I feel that you could all possibly do something that would mean so much to myself and to the people I hold close to me. As some of you may or may not know, I used to be part of a theatre company called 'Behind Bars'. As I started university I dropped out of the shows and instead just go and offer support through stage work and little bits and bobs I do on the night. The company has now rebranded to 'Zodiac' and this week is the start of an always nervous show week.

Please, please, please keep on reading...

Thursday 7th August is the only public night for this show. It is being performed at the Lace Market Theatre in Nottingham. The play itself is 'Agnes of God' by John Pielmeier.

THE STORY: A young nun is accused of murdering an infant she gave birth to in a cloistered convent. The psychiatrist assigned to her case meets opposition in the convent’s Mother Superior, and all three women explore questions of Faith, Memory, and the meaning of Sainthood.

It would mean the absolute world to me and the rest of the cast if you would come see all the effort they have put in. The play is so testing for the actresses involved and they have put their heart and souls into preparing this. Please come and support your local theatre and share this link with everybody. 

You can purchase tickets here...

I'll be keeping my eye out for you lot! Come find me and say hello if you do attend, I would love to see you there!

Love Love Love!!! 

I will be blogging and tweeting throughout show week so look out!
