There is much performance on the horizon. Last night I was rehearsing for a local operatic group's production of Chess and, though I wouldn't want to spoil it for anyone going to see it, I had the dubious honour of being danced round by the other chorus members - in two directions simultaneously, no less!

Then I took myself out for a walk last night (see, I am getting back into being healthy again!) in order to practise for the turn I'm doing tomorrow night. I have 8-10 minutes and a 9minute, 30second act to fit into it. I hope that I've gauged the timing correctly, because it's very different performing to an audience, rather than saying it out loud while walking with a stop watch.

I also walked into work to aid my weightloss and, in case that didn't work, gave blood today - blood must weigh something! I originally thought that giving blood would be a good excuse to allow myself to eat some biscuits... but I couldn't bring myself to. So, it was a free black coffee.

Tonight Matthew, I'm going to be laughing my arse off!
