Well, it’s been an interesting day. It’s been one of those where I somehow got a nice lay in and ended up having to wake up the Little Lion before the in-laws came around to collect her for the day. I spent the next hour of my life trying to organise music (I’ve decided to finally arrange all my copious files from my youth into some sort of order because I’m sick of paying for Spotify), and it was about as riveting as it sounds.
For some reason I was in exceptionally good spirits this morning, and I can’t really explain why. Sometimes that’s just how it is, I guess, unfortunately I’m not entirely sure that my troupe were quite so on board with me being so hyperactive.
Still it seemed to make the day go quicker somehow, and the show itself went very well. And this is all in spite of me not having a microphone. We’ve had some issues with our microphones. In fact, so far we’ve got through quite a lot of them. We’ve had them replaced and still we’re losing more as we go. Fortunately, I have a very loud voice and could still be heard across an audience of 400 screaming children.
We were quite close to the lock up where we store all of our microphones and other kit. But with rush hour approaching and people that needed to be somewhere I opted for us to go home.
It seemed silly for me to drag all six of us 20 minutes away in the wrong direction only for us to drive another 20 minutes back, and get caught in the rush-hour traffic, so I went back and had food with my in-laws my daughter and my wife before heading back to the lock-up at the time with much less traffic.
I had added benefits of bumping into Kate when I arrived. We had a little catch up before we headed on our respective ways.
Of course, I hadn’t quite anticipated someone crashing on the a13 just before I arrived home.
All in all, though it’s been quite a good day, especially in light of yesterday where I wasn’t feeling quite myself
I can’t believe that we only have five more shows left across the next three days and then who knows what happens from there. Part of me is quite anxious. Part of me is excited. It’ll be interesting to see what life has in store for me next.
