We had a ovely night out at Martin's in Clapham. Bonfir, fireowrks and lots of gay men - what more could one want when a noisy fireowrk goes off! Sparklers in abundance. Lovely food and nice fro once to go to a small party wheret he firewroks were lit rather than a big display. Really nice evening.
Simon Cowell laughing al the way to the bank this mornign as he let John and Edward continue their rise to the top of the X Factor. Not that they will for one moment win, but Cowell, clever to the core knows this series is dead at the moment without the, Knowing how the public have voted, (Cone on don't believe he doesn't!) his sacrifice of the bland Lucy shows he knows how to maintain his viewing figures. All very clever

This morning I have had a drink from a cup of tea and managed it without a straw so I think we do have some movement in the lips. Rich says he thinks he has sen my right eye blinking a little over the weekend, and God will I be grateful when I don;t have to tape it up to sleep. Lovely message from an old friend in LA saying that his partner had it and it cleared up- so thank you for that Mr T!
Today a sad day as we lose our Syd - the little bubble of yellow loveliness that has ferried us around for the last two year. An electric blue metallic replacement is due today also. Name.....watch this space!

    Anyone suggested you try a CACI (Computer Aided Cosmetology Instrument) facial? I go once a month in Thele and they run tiny electrical currents through the muscles to tone them and it was developed to help people after strokes, but it's now called the 'non-surgical facelift'.

One Years Reign

I suppose the principal aim of this blog would be not to mention the weather. As we all know, we would sadly diminish conversation in Britain, if it were not for our climate. I wonder how well the holiday business has done during this last rainy spell. I know that one of the first things I did was to book myself a nice sunshine holiday for December. So even if the current diluvian days continue, I have a beach to look forward to. Living on a boat means one is constantly aware of water, and the thrash of the rain on the roof is strangely comforting. My first instinct living on Scout when the rain started was to run outside and start collecting pairs of animals. Now the downpours are an excuse for me not to have to get the pressure washer out for boat cleaning. Just one chore on the household list when one lives on a boat. I’ve never been overly competent with a screwdriver. The tool, not the drink. Mercifully, the community feeling that we have on our pontoon means there’s always someon

A Single Monty

There has recently been a big sense of things finishing . “The Full Monty” which has occupied my life for most of the last 18 months, has now dropped on Disney UK to great success. It’s so good that so many people can now enjoy the story that we could tell. While Monty opened in Sheffield, I was enjoying a fantastic two-week adventure in Japan, something I’ve been eagerly awaiting since much earlier in the year, as part of my ‘Get out and do it on my own’ programme. Many of you were kind enough to read my Japanese travel blog and shared the journey with me. It was a life-changing experience and gave me a confidence that I thought I had hitherto lost in terms of being a solo traveller. Last Wednesday, the court declared my divorce final. Just a few things to mop up and that’s it. Twenty five years of my life put into the filing cabinet. So where next? And that’s the question. On hearing the news of my divorce, many friends texted me and said, “well done. You’re nearly there.” But I’m no

Living for today

This week I attended a memorial service for an actor I had the pleasure of working with in corporate role-play on many occasions.  He made me laugh, loud and often. He knew his stuff, and he always had an eye to make sure we didn’t get overused for the money. I was always pleased when I saw his name on a job sheet. He was a wonderfully intelligent man, and it was a great pleasure to be in his company. Rest in piece Greg Harris The celebration was wonderful and gave me a chance to catch up with many colleagues who I no longer see as the areas of my work have changed Greg was my four years younger than me. He’s not the only one of my contemporaries to have left us in the last few months., The wonderful comedian Andy Smart. The director, Michael Boyd.  I’ve spent the last twenty months finding my new life. The realisation is that I don’t know how long it will be. So there is no time for regret. No time for wishing “If only” and “What if “. Time to throw off the duvet each morning and gree
