You can’t keep a good girl down for long
You can’t keep a good girl down for long.
Things are going well.
I am really really busy, very productive, not stressing too much though!
I’m throwing away everything I don’t want, and keeping and making worthwhile what’s important to me.
I have some fun projects coming up - not too much though.
I’m getting on top of my health problems.
Funny and interesting things keep happening to me but I’m too busy to blog.
Like when despite being the best soprano to audition (I have it on good authority), I didn’t get the part I wanted in Candide, and was asked to understudy instead. Two minutes later, yes, really, I was into a production that some friends are putting on at the local conservatoire, which just happens to be the same dates as the Candide. So it looks like I’ll never learn how to poison a fellow soprano’s dinner. But I do get to prance around on a stage singing Sondheim with some great people.
Like the time I accidentally stood on someone in the Co-op the other day. I turned round to apologise, and on the way out of the shop said to Jez "oh well at least it was a chav"!
Like last night when I was practicing in the kitchen, the neighbours put on some crap disco music very very loudly.
Like the new 15 hours a week job I have in Boots where everyone loves me because they don’t have to train me because I’ve done it all before.
Like the friend who phoned me up and offered me just the sort of help I need, that only she can give.
Like going round Ikea with Jez doing the cake dance, the kelpie dance, and the new ikea dance. Then jumping out on him on the other side of the door and licking the window… only it wasn’t him, but a complete stranger.
Like the gorgeous house we are very likely to be moving into in a month’s time. Yes, really! I’m so excited!
But enough about me, how are you? No, really? If you can fight my spam-bots, I’d love to hear how you’re doing :)
Glad things are looking up :-)

Hang in there, babe.
And, for the benefit of your trans-Atlantic readers, could you please explain this “chav”?

Hi Despina!
Just back from Leeds and not been reading your blog (or any other for that matter!) for a little while, so I missed the lasts posts. I am glad you are better now and have so many exciting things happening!
Best wishes x

Viv, thank you my love! I know you’re a busy girl, hope I see you - or see you online - soon!
SG, thanks my dear, and the same to you.
Anne, how did you find me? Was I just the sexiest person on there? Course I don’t mind darling!
John, Chavs are the scum o’ the earth! No time to go into detail, try wikipedia for a better explanation!

I’m doing fine, new to your blog obviously, job-hunting for something new at the moment.
And to explain the chav thing for the Trans-Atlantians, a chav is somewhat similar to a prep, but with a lot less money, a lot more tasteless gold jewellery, and an ambition to be violent, illiterate and badly spoken.

Glad you’re feeling better Miss D.
Hope you do get some proper help though.
I know it’s scary having to face stuff you feel you can’t talk about. Believe me I’ve done it, but in the long term it’s worth it I promise.
:)
