Pantomime and stuff
The ole Panto is infamous in these here parts. It's not a mime, btw. It's just a really silly type of play, usually put on around Christmastime, and generally requiring a great deal of audience participation.It's school tradition for the teachers to put on a Panto for the pupils every year. This year we're doing our rendition of 'Cinderella'. Good fun. I'm only really in two of the five acts, and only have about ten lines, but I quite like strutting my stuff as 'Cheryl Mole' - a spin off of Cheryl Cole, for those of you who don't know. She's known for being one of the ladies in Girls Aloud (I think that's the one), and for being a judge on X-Factor, the British version of American Idol, along side Simon Cowel and Kylie Minogue - and yes, two colleagues are playing spin-offs of those characters as well: Simon Foul and Doilie Monologue.
So that's fun. We had dress rehearsal tonight, and all went well. Three showings tomorrow, all to the kids - let's hope they like it!
What else am I doing now? Well, wrapping presents. Adding to my Christmas grocery order (which is closely approaching 300 quid! Ahhh!). Waiting for Riccardo to get home in the morning (he's been in Shanghai this week, planning his company's involvement in Expo 2010).
Tomorrow we break up for Christmas. Two weeks well deserved, I think. This term has been manic. Riccardo's family arrives on Tuesday and then it's three weeks of full-on family. Woo-hoo!
Sadly though, at this point what I'm looking forward to the most is SLEEPING.
Happy Christmas to you all!
