Guildford. It's near London.

(The photo is me looking at Bronagh's bottom- but maybe that is self explanatory)

Bonjour! Here we are in Guildford where it seems jolly cold. All the same it is nice to be staying at home for a bit- I live half an hour away. Most of the others are staying at their homes in London. We haven't had a huge amount of excitement really as you can probably tell by what I have just written. Oh, we were visited by Graham Seed who came to see the show. That was exciting as was his colourful scarf. It wasn't quite as exotic as Daragh's however.

Our assistant director has been in a couple of times to watch the show and let us know things which, perhaps, we have grown accustomed to and thus not ammended during the show. When you're on tour sometimes you get set in your ways so it is always good to be reminded of these things occasionaly. And Chris is very good at that. As I write this our lovely Choreographer (who we all miss) is in. It will be

interesting to hear what she has to say about the dance and how it has developed and changed. Since Basingstoke it has turned into a very different beast.

We also had to share the stage this week with another show. It was called Bear Hunt. So for three days we had to clear half our set away after every show in order to give the space for theirs. It was interesting but on the whole went very smoothly; the crew here are really very helpful and good. It also meant that for three days there was a MASSIVE, furry bear backstage... looming like a monster. It really was rather surreal but then we are in a theatre- what do you expect?!

Apart from that, I have nothing else to give you. We are all well... having said that, Trish is feeling 'rough' (her own words) and Victoria also says 'she thinks she is getting a cold again' (her own words, ish). Touring tends to tire you out a bit. I'm going to go and hold the curtain for Chris and Gerry now as they dance off down the lane to 'Dancing in the Dark'. Then I'll probably fall asleep. On the floor. No shame. Zzzzzzzzzzzz.z.z.z.z...z......z............z.....
