Dramatic Intentions

Last night saw the culmination of one of my short drama courses in an evening of improvised sketches and games at the theatre, titled Dramatic Intentions. For some of the kids it was their first time on stage so they did well to make it all up as they went along. A fun evening despite my usual anxiety cramps beforehand.

A week of school half-term now then a new set of courses start up, including the radio performance on Myriad in March. This has attracted much interest and I'm looking forward to doing some off-the-wall geek comedy again.

Meanwhile house plans are thrusting forward again after a period up a side street when we ceased to feel the project was our own. Back on track now we are ready to put the planning application in and enter negotiations with the planners.

Winter draws on, with the pale faces and translucent skin tones that characterise this time of year. The birds and squirrels are ever-optimistic, emptying the feeders every other day and starting to flirt with each other in the bare branches of the trees.
