Perfect day!

For some unknown reason I woke up this morning just feeling good and had a real hankering to listen to the song 'Perfect Day' so as I write this that song is blasting (well not quite blasting but hey) out of my laptop. It might be because it's the fourth or fifth sunny day on the trot and summer may well be sticking around for another couple of days before the rain hits again or there might be other reasons, who knows...

Talking of the weather reminds me of how cynical some people are...they complain about the seemingly endless rain and want the sun more than anything then when they actually get it...oh it's too hot...why do people want the middle so much. Going from one extreme to another is one of the joys of living in England, if it was the same weather all day everyday it'd get very boring. I say this more to convince myself of enjoying the varying weather but if you think about it it's true...to an extent. Saying that though I would be more than happy to have boring but very sunny weather all the time...

Going back to listening to songs, I recently took part in a 'retro day' which is basically a day where you play all the games from when you were younger and it's funny how quickly the theme songs or backing tunes for those games make you remember so much about them. You just have to listen the first few bars and you're instantly back in the game as if you'd never stopped playing it. It's the same with the cd I'm listening to in my car, I was listening to it when I first bought the car and I'm automatically transported back to that time (admittedly it was just last year but still).

I feel I should leave you fine people to carry on with your day now and if you're reading this and you have the sun then go out and enjoy it much like I intend to do...

Geronimo....It's arrived...Huzzah!!

I thought it high time I gave everyone an update on what is happening with me right now. I'm sure you're all sat on the edge of your seats waiting with baited breath to see what new clap trap I can bore you all with and if you're not then I commend you on your patience and sanity. 

I don't really have anything major to update you on really although I would like to make a slight perception from what I've heard about my last posting. I don't hate charities, I was merely pointing out that the charity in question could have been putting their money to better use. Now that is out of the way we can carry on with this new and fresh post...again I still have nothing major in mind to tell you all about...or do I?

Well in fact I do because this Saturday I am performing once again, I will be stood in the middle of a field pretending to be a witch (in an awesome cape...seriously the best item of fashion available to buy), Romeo (in a green shirt that makes me look like I'm attempting to play Peter Pan a few months early) and Theseus (in a woman's shirt size 18 that apparently reveals too much of my chest...must work on my cleavage!). For those of you that are astute and down with the works of the Bard I am performing extracts of Shakespeare's plays with The Offord Players (TOPS). They are taking a big risk with this performance...not least because they have entrusted me to be in it but mainly because we are attempting to do it outside in this the worst British Summer since records began (n.b. the records I am referring to are my own personal ones, I do not know whether this weather is officially the worst on record, it may well be but I don't want the met office ringing me up to say 'Oi, the worst official summer was the summer of 1931, there was extra 3cms of rainfall that year'...mainly because that would be a bit pointless and a massive waste of time on their part). So anyway this Saturday head down to Offord Primary School at 6pm for a night of joyous celebrations ending with a luxury BBQ...that's right you heard a luxury BBQ...not just some old bod crouching over a disposable BBQ. For the princely sum of just £5 plus £5 for the BBQ you can have a greatly enjoyable evening.

I know what a few of you may be thinking at this point...what on earth does my plug for people to come and watch 'Walk with the Bard' this Saturday from 6 at Offord Primary School before moving onto the millennium green and then back to the school for the luxury BBQ for the sum of just £5 have to do with the title of this blog? Well...isn't it obvious? It has absolutely nothing to do with anything, it was literally just a collection of words I decided to put together, partly because I like them and partly to sate your interest slightly. Talking of which, the luxury BBQ after 'Walk with the Bard' this Saturday will be made all the more luxurious by the little acronym BYOB which for those of you are only down with the Bard and not down with the lingo (Language for those same people) BYOB means bring your own bottles (and I mean plural) to enable you to drink the night away into merriment and drunkenness. It's what I shall be doing.

Anyway I feel I have wasted enough of your time now so I shall bid you adieu, adieu, adieu and leave moonshine and lion to bury the dead (references that will become clear if you come this Saturday at 6 to Offord Primary School to watch 'Walk with the Bard'). Enjoy the rest of your week and if you are free to come this Saturday I can guarantee you shall not be disappointed and if you are then just bring more bottles to forget about it.
