Random Ramblings

Easter... a family occasion. Arriving home from rehearsals in Derby late Thursday night I went to bed and woke up to find a whole new level of disfunction hovering over the mothership. The home had to be prepared for an influx of people expection to be fed, chocolated, alcoholed and amused in a day... To leave a day spare of course. Theatre mentality hasn't broken through yet. It will. I'm working on it. So we scrubbed and cooked and cleaned and shopped and cooked some more and then I cooked beacause I hadn't done enough of that. The mentalist attitude of the weekend has been broken up by visits from good friends, who come bearing cupcakes, wit, and huggs, who sampled a lot of the cooking and decided it wasn't poisonous. (Thanks guys!) and then went away again, but only after rescuing me from my cream crisis!

Sunday THEY came... They ate, they drank. Lots. After several rounds of unenthusiastic I spy I took control (as I do) and decided that The Cupcake Game was the way forward. Much hilarity and bonkerness followed, so because we weren't silly enough I combined it with the 'this is a cabbage/dog/kite' game which lead to a discussion on fuel economy and resources and the invention of a perpetual motion machine... A cat (who always lands on its feet) sellotaped to buttered toast (that allways lands butter side down) It would spin for hours and we could harness the energy.

Far to much intellectual talk for one weekend... Back to rehearsals tomorrow.
