Domesticity rocks

 Oh what a lovely Sunday I am having! Absolutely no plans except getting my house in order, quite literally.

After a sleep in, I;

• gathered all the costumes discarded from three shows in a week, 
• put all the makeup away,
• washed my makeup brushes,
• read a delicious lamb shank recipe and it is now simmering away,
• completed laundry, 

all while Mrs Bradley Mysteries plays on the DVD. 

We've had a hail storm of deafening proportions today, while my beloved was out buying strip lighting for my makeup mirror.

 This is why. I look like I stuck my face in a bowl of cornflour! The light is so bad at my table, I find it hard to get my skin tone right. Clever MrC!

On Friday night I did a show requiring no clothing at all. Avoiding using certain words here. I sang two songs and did a second set of comedy. It was one of those bucket list things I wanted to get ticked off.

People have asked me how it was and my response is, like any other show only, breezier!

 

 

Covid and Snags

 No I don't have it. Not yet. Yet friends going to extreme lengths to not catch it, are catching it. I keep getting respiratory symptoms (my respiratory system was ordered from Wish) and RAT testing, but still nothing. Am I the only one partly wishing it would just arrive and be done with it? And if it did, I'd be thinking, be careful what you wish for...

This week it would suck hugely, and next week. My dear friend and wifey4lifey is coming to stay, I have gigs Friday AND Saturday nights. Friday has already lost a performer to covid, Saturday's gig I am a ring in because of it. Satuday 17th June I have Like a Fine Wine in Hamilton. The fourth time this show has been scheduled, due to Covid. 

Honestly, playing musical chairs with stage time is a tiny impact compared to the impact on our health systems, and I am not complaining so much as showing how these huge things have large and small impact chains. 

Anyway here's a teeny video of me showing off my costume backstage last night, and showing how inept I am with technology! But it's also kind of fun and dark. Anyway my red and black Snag tights were very cool.
