It's true what hey say isn't it? Life is an endless succession of Ying and Yang - of "What goes around comes around" or however else you would like to phrase it.
This week I got an absolutely lovely box of old fashioned tuck shop goodies from our friend Charlotte. Delivered by JOhn Lewis and full of old fashioned love hearts, sherbet chews ,black jacks etc. Each bite was a memory. Fabulous.
Thursday saw a morning rehearsal for the Tap. - one next week at Teatro Technis in Camden for those with an evening to spare.
I returned home exhausted but happy, only to find I had two Lucy's in my e mail inbox. A lucy is the name given to an e mail that one gets, always on Thursday afternoons, from Lucy Griffin, who is the accounts lady at my agents. It contains a Remittance advice and means you've got some money. Lucy's often come out of the blue and indeed this week I wasn't expecting one, so to find two was an unexpected joy. You never know what a Lucy is worth until you click on the attachment. They can be for just a few pounds for a programme having been shown on some little watched cable channel, or in the lower half of Tasmania on a Tuesday, or they can be for unexpectedly large sums of money. These two Lucys were one of each. One for a showing of 55Degrees North on some american cable channel, and the other for a years DVD sales of Series 4 of Peep Show. A real bonus.
So thats the Ying.
And the Yang.......? The sweeties are delicious, The chews in particular are gorgeous, sticky, tingly and sweet. They remind me of days long gone by, of summer holidays, of playing out, and of my grandparents shop. Alas in those days my mouth was full of natural dentistry rather than expensive crowns and fillings.
Last night a blackjack chew met an upper crown while I relaxed in the bath. The crown came off worse.. So we now know what the large Lucy is paying for?
A visit to Cavendish Square, and a replacement crown.
Ah well, what goes around, comes around as they say.
