I haven't been posting much again recently, it seems.pennski  kept everyone up to date with our drainage issues (all the 'making good' has now happened so we are just waiting for the vestigial smell to go away).

Other than that life has been pretty much occupied with work, rehearsals and Clarke Award reading.

It's amazing to think that we are only just over a week away from another show; it only seems like five minutes since the last one. It's going okay, rehearsals have mainly been enjoyable despite not being a great fan of the show. Claire, our director, pointed out last week that by the time of the show we will only have had 26 rehearsals, rather than the 60 that we had for Millie. People have reacted to this in different ways: I (being oddly more upbeat than I expect sometimes) took away from this that it was going very well given how quickly we've had to put it together. On the other hand James, our leading man, took it as 'how can we possibly put on a good show with only 26 rehearsals?!" He worries, bless him...

If I had to sing There Once Was a Man in front of people, or, in fact, anywhere, I would be nervous too. I hope he's been practising in the bath.

Yeah, it's not the most inspiring song, is it? In some ways it is one of those shows where the romantic leads are not well-served. Sid gets 'Hey There', which is okay, and Babe gets 'I'm Not At All in Love' which is fun, but that's about it.

The real winner is Gladys (Hasler's secretary) who gets both 'Hernando's Hideaway' and 'Steam Heat'.
