The good, the bad, and the bikini

The good:

  • Picking up as much for a week’s singing / modelling work as I would have done for working upwards of 30 hours in Boots.
  • Doing a concert with the fabulous M.
  • Getting a nasty essay handed in.
  • Good friends.
  • Loads of opera ahead, loads of it!
  • New dress!
  • Lunch with G.
  • Being smoke-free.
  • Loving somebody.

The bad:

  • Being tired and having an eye infection to prove it.
  • Menstruation.
  • Weight gain!
  • Still a mountain of work to do and little hope of an extension.
  • Discovering that members of my extended family are in fact disgusting, bigotted racists.
  • Having no sense of direction and consequently always getting myself lost.
  • Missing S.
  • Travelling.
  • Learning said opera.
  • My room still being a bomb-site.
  • Loving somebody.

The bikini:

  • A lovely turquoise halter-neck from M&S. Size 12.
  • This is the body that’s supposed to go in it:

  1. That sounds like a fairly good balance! I find gigs often help to add weight to the ‘good’ side.
    (I had a good one last night and the crap of the previous few days didn’t seem quite so crap…!)

  5. Look fine to me!

    I read twice and I think the good part overcame the bad ones. Think ;-)

  6. Maestro - it is a good balance! And a good concert always raises the spirits, glad you had one! I hate those days when it feels like just a job.

    Princesse - thanks for not being cross when I tried (and failed) to be a princesse myself :)

    Jo - it’s a shame about my face isn’t it? No seriously, thanks sweetie.

    Mags - God bless you and your misguided adjectives xx

    Zhu - you’re right, cara mia, the good outweighs the bad :)

  7. Actually, I’m lucky that with having long, thin arms and small boobs, people are fooled into thinking I’m slim when the rest of me is covered up by a nice tent-like creation! But if I’d been Edwardian, I would never have had to wear a bustle…
