Just as well turn ups are still 'in', eh Tibs, though aren't you getting a bit too old to be a hipster? 🙂 Turn-ups are always in when you're an oompa loompa TallPaul.  Are you only tiny, Tibs? I had no idea! |

Watch it, TallPaul: "Though she be but little, she is fierce" - or so I've heard, anyway... |

We cast my play last night! hurrah! so assuming they all say yes it's all systems go...hilarity ensued when the scenes given were a tad confusing when put next to each other meaning actors were trying to figure out the plot like it was a murder mystery (it really ain't that deep)

Good luck with your play @emicardiff
I hope you are not directing. It reminded me of being in a play (as a very young man - a very long time ago) and bitching chatting about the director and saying something like "he couldn't direct traffic!" Of course he was stood right behind me. For some strange reason I never got cast after that - no idea why?

Though I turned up to the venue last night slightly late (because of course I had a job interview directly before!) and said i was there with the auditions, the guy on reception thought I was auditioning....heck no dude haha. |

Related to the above it always for some reason gives me a giggle when people don't put their 'This is Holy Week' signs up properly and the 'He is Risen' is on display waaaay before Easter Sunday. I always think to myself 'blimey before even Good Friday that's impressive' Being wished ‘Happy Easter’ on Good Friday really sets my teeth on edge too. |

The first rule of theatre-going is always check the performance times, thereby avoiding arriving at 1.15 for a 3pm start. I thought the theatre looked unusually quiet!
At least the lucky residents of Leeds now get to see me walking around their thriving city centre in my very stylish chinos (without turn ups). 🙂

At least the lucky residents of Leeds now get to see me walking around their thriving city centre in my very stylish chinos (without turn ups). 🙂 Better than arriving half an hour after the start.  |

Things I did not expect to have to do over Easter: spend over an hour assisting in the assembly of 2 flat-pack garden obelisks.

It's a small world, isn't it? 🌍
Despite over 5 million people having the good fortune to live in Yorkshire, with over 800,000 living in Leeds itself, when I returned to the Leeds Playhouse at the correct time this afternoon, I found myself sitting next to the same family I was sitting next to for Sunshine on Leith almost a year ago.
What are the chances?

I’ve just finished making some bunny ear decorations out of pink and white candy melts for a set of Easter cupcakes. They look like labia.

Well I can’t compete with happysooz (above), tee hee, but I enjoyed a Shakespeare Walk this morning. Kudos to the actors (and stewards) standing around in that blazing heat today.

Broken the terms of your restraining order again TallPaul?🤨 (And I wouldn't normally point out spellings on a public forum, but I think you've misspelt mis😏) |

Today appears to have been National Drive At 60 In The Second Lane Of The Motorway day.
And on the M1 are the "Use hard shoulder" signs invisible to everyone but me, or do people just not believe them?

I thought on similar lines when Ore Oduba on the One Show greeted viewers with "How many chocolate eggs have you eaten so far?" Edit: not to say I hadn't eaten any but I still feel vaguely guilty! |

Not been the best Easter weekend for me. Had to say goodbye to my beloved canine companion, Remus, a Cavalier King Charles spaniel, on Saturday - just a few weeks short of his fifteenth birthday. He'd been diagnosed with a suspected tumour in his mouth last year (the vet didn't recommend a biopsy at the time because of the risk of general anaesthesia given his age). The tumour developed slowly at first but became more aggressive in the past couple of months to the point where it became apparent on Friday that it was time to say a sad, fond farewell the following day. He really was a dog in a million and I'll miss him so much. Here's a slightly blurred photo of him choosing his favourite shows from the Edinburgh Fringe programme a couple of years ago.  |

Heartfelt sympathies to you Steve. I know only too well how you feel. Sadly we too lost our beloved dog 18 months ago. Recently we adopted a rescue dog and is already filling the empty hole that was left

So sorry to hear your sad news Steve, he looks like a lovely dog and I’m sure you’ve got lots of special memories from your 15 years together. Pets are such an integral part of the family and it’s such a hard loss.

I considered making a subtle, understated, tasteful Easter-themed cake for my niece and nephews (aged 5, 3, and 20) for today's family Easter meal... but the moment passed and I'm fine now.  |
