Yo-Yo song: a path to enlightenment

You find me no longer in London, but back in Sheffield, where I have already sorted out lodgings and made better progress with getting myself employed than I managed in five weeks in London. Apart from being further away from my borthers Joel and Josh, and the no longer possiblity of me Joel and oor faither getting together in the big city, I am very pleased to be back, I must say.

I love you Doctor Johnson, and I want to have your babies.

I haven't seen Blackadder in ages...

I also hadn't seen You've Been Framed for a very long time until last night, when I watched it at my brother Josh's friend's house, before going to Josh's other friend's 30th birthday party in his new pub. Much merriment was had, I assure you.

Today I was introduced to Springfield Park, another park I've never been to before.

This all sounds very boring, but it was a lot more interesting than it seems, really. Really!


Ooh! And I got a second audition at Queen Margarets! Huzzah!

I don't know how anyone can stand to live in this house for long...



The most significant place I was this week is Edinburgh, where I was auditioning for the Acting course at Queen Margaret's. I won't go into details, but it went quite well.

Back in London now, possibly in Stoke Newington tomorrow evening.

More as it comes.

My first visit to the Tate Britain, followed by some pleasant wandering through some lovely winter-sunlit London with Joel was my yesterday afternoon. My yesterday evening was spent listening to this lady, which was an experience, to say the least. Having missed the opportunity to ever see Captain Beefheart in performance, I took last night as something of a consolation.

Today me and Joel didn't manage to record any music, but Joel did introduce me to the wonders of the Turkish Food Centre, and may have by now gone back to take a photograph of the Chicken Shop, if you're lucky. He'll have posted it here if he has.

Sheffield tomorrow, then Edinburgh on Tuesday, then my audition on Wednesday. Still haven't chosen which song I'm going to do yet.

Won't be posting till Friday, because I'm not taking my computer away with me, so have a nice time until I next see you.

Yesterday meant a walk across Hampstead Heath (where I have never been before) with Joel and Catherine (who I have never met before). Hampstead Heath is very big, as it turns out, and a lot of it (as does more and more of London I notice- I wonder if it's all just wishful thinking gone mad) looks like bits of Sheffield. Joel's friends are quite a lot like my friends, which is nice. Only they're older. A bit.

I took some photos of some interesting looking ducks. There were three of them, and as is to be expected they didn't all start swimming together until after I had finished photographing them. They looked like this though...





The evening meant going (for 'going' read 'sprinting') to the National Theatre to see the Man of Mode with my flatmate and having a jolly time. It's well worth seeing if you happen to be in London and you know which tube station to go to to get to the National before you set off.

Today has so far meant buying stamps and learning speeches. Audition next week...


I also got an email today telling me that one of Laura's Christmas presents that I ordered in November has finally been dispatched. Marvellous.
