The Path

It's been a two months now since joining the drama group and we've covered a lot already. This week, we've done a read through on a script that we're going to put together in a performance in June at Eden Court. The nerves have already kicked in, because although it has yet to be cast, there are 36 pages of lines! Don't mess it up, don't mess it up, don't mess it up....
Then perhaps I don't need to worry, because work hasn't agreed to giving me the performance night off yet...

The Theatre

Well, I finally took the bull by the horns and have done something I have wanted to do since High School. I've joined the Drama Lab at the Eden Court Theatre in Inverness. That's right! I'm studying acting in the evenings! Much like Art College, I'm happy and nervous all at once, because I want to do this, but still struggle with self confidence. Nevertheless, I am happy I got in and am committed to completing the first term to begin with. What will come of this? I really don't know.

The Gap

It's been almost a year since posting.....how fast the year has been. Our visitors came and went, then others came and went, but we weren't able to fit everything we'd planned into either itinerary. Then we went back to Australia for a visit to family and friends, returned to Scotland and faced the worst winter in decades. After the first falls of snow in mid December, snow and ice is still pretty much everywhere, apart from the roads. In amongst it all, Karen broke her leg sledging and is convalescing for a couple of months upstairs......
Hello 2010!!!
