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:

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…!)

I don’t think you’ll have any problems missy. You look perfect to me! x

Look fine to me!
I read twice and I think the good part overcame the bad ones. Think ;-)

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 :)

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…
