No not my menstrual cycle, I'm a man, that time of the month were I do another entry to my blog, this time I am going to tell you what I am up too.
Camping.
Yes it is an eight man tent, looks nice and sunny in the photo and it was after two days on the day we arrived it was raining and I mean really raining very hard the water was running down the hill like a river. My wife and I were soaked to the skin. Yes it was in sunny Devon, down in the south west of the UK.
So I decided to take the family camping for our trip down to see poor uncle Bill, I say poor I am referring to him agreeing to see us twice a year. We also go down at Christmas time, we take him a food hamper and other useful presents.
Well he is in his 80's and he also lives along, at Christmas time we use a local hotel, normally the cheap one that always seems to have rooms next to the busy M5 motorway, so you can go to sleep with the constant hum of the traffic in your ear. If that's not enough they have a service are people can shout at the top of their voice in the early hours of the morning.
Sorry was I ranting, can't think why.
What else am I up to well I have been asked to write a 'One Act Play' I have been working on for well it must be about 23 hours now. Would you like to have a read of draft one thus far?
The Book Club.
ACT 1
Sitting room of Katharine
Martin home she shares with her husband Robert and her daughter Georgian and boyfriend Rolph who are both in their late 20’s/ 30’s.
In the corner is a
desk with a writing chair and a computer type writer, there are nine chairs
available.
These are assorted chairs included is a comfy
arm chair and a two setter sofa that has seen better days and if you sit too
far back in it you will fall into the hole and have problems getting up. (One
may need help)
There is a small
coffee table with a tea pot on assorted mugs and cups including a large plate
of assorted cakes including chocolate cake.
Robert Picks a
chocolate cake up ‘Mmm these look good’
Kathy ‘Yes they are.’ Takes
the cake off Robert and places it back on the tray,
Re-arranging the
plate again then admiring them.
Robert ‘They won’t miss one of these tasty looking cakes.’
Katy. ‘I need ALL the tasty looking cakes for my book club
friends.’
Robert ‘But I love chocolate cake.’
Kathy ‘Yes I can see from your stomach, if that was on a
woman she would be seven
months pregnant’
Robert ‘It has been and she was.’
Kathy ‘Ho yes I remember.’
Robert ‘Well it was nearly 30 years ago love.’
Kathy ‘All I remember is waking up with a very sore head and
the feeling I was under a wardrobe.’
Robert ‘No love that was me.’
