A good weekend was had last weekend when my brother and his wife visited from up North. Babies and dogs were left with my mum in Dingwall so it was a grown up weekend and the chance for them to get a lie-in for a change! We went shopping at Braehead and I bought far too much as usual (M & S are doing great work clothes at the moment and I bought lots of garish clothing for my show in October - bright pink legwarmers - nice!). We also went to Xscape which is my brother's idea of heaven under one roof and then went to the Imax to see The Dark Knight (again) which was equally good the second time round. The biggest disappointment of the weekend was the quality of food we experienced both at Xscape and even more so when we went for dinner at a well known Mexican restaurant in Merchant City (naming no names but half of us had to send our food back because it was cold). We went for a few drinks afterwards (couldn't get served in Arta so went to Bar 91 and Citation instead) then went back to mine for a game or seven of Mr and Mrs, which always ends up in arguments!! However Ross and I won so we must be doing something right! Saturday night was also our claim to fame as we were on Primetime TV in the audience of 'This Time Tomorrow' the lottery show hosted by Tess Daly. Admittedly it is one of the worst shows on TV but it was a laugh nonetheless!
On Sunday we went for one of my favourite dishes in central Scotland - chicken sizzler at Kip Marina in Inverkip - yum! At nightime I started blocking my solo piece for the Revue Show (now called The Best of Broadway) which doesn't involve much at all, other than looking distressed and staring into space! At rehearsal last night we learnt a new dance for All That Jazz which is very sexy and seductive, and we will be wearing leotards and fishnets - eek!
Work is trundling along OK, still very busy but not as bad as it was. We had our team away day this week at Castle Semple outdoor centre. Considering it has been raining SO much in Glasgow we actually had a really nice day to play team games in the sunshine and go cycling.
Tonight I am theatring again (but this time on the other side of the stage). I'm off to see Flashdance - bring on the lycra!
Best of luck to my pal Iona and her hubby to be Pete who are getting married on Saturday. I can't wait for the big day - vintage dress is getting donned!
