IT’S a little odd how different things affect you.

I have been in this play at Thwaites Theatre and, although I don’t have the slightest difficulty in standing up before a crowd of people and speaking for maybe an hour without any notes, learning lines that someone else has written and speaking them as another character, has been much harder that I imagined.

So, I’ll view those in the acting profession with a little more respect in future.

After I left the theatre on Saturday, I called in for the reunion ‘do’ of Cable 7 TV, the community channel which was taken away from us, I think, in 1994.

It was nice to see old faces and I mean that in the nicest possible way.

I’ve packed lots in this past week: Monday and Tuesday, 6am till 6pm in Manchester for a TV thingy and then at Pines Hotel on Thursday, speaking for Rainbow House and its new project Legends.

On Saturday I attended Ruth and Lawrence Loft’s really good do for the mayor’s charity.

After five nights at the theatre and then the cable reunion, can I go to bed now?

Please!
