Flying low
So, once again I am the last to fill in my blog. I would complain that I am struggling to find the time with so many rehearsals but in doing so would fall helplessly into the stereotype that men can't do two things at once. Instead i will go with the excuse that I lost my sheet with my password on it (special thanks to Naomi and Emma Laird for finding it out for me and none to Brenda and Rym for doing naff all), so with Frank Sinatra playing in my ear I will let you all know what has been going on... my way (i apologise). First of all i thought i would go for the sympathy vote and let you all know that i have been injured for ages and done hardly any dancing which was a massive pain in the. I have not mentioned this before but while we are on the subject i will take a quick moment to run through Tom's injury list. I started the year with an osteoid osteoma in my foot (If you are really bored look it up) and had surgery before Christmas to get it out. Came back after the holiday and gave myself a very painful back spasm which lasted 5 days. The day after that I sprained my ankle and so have not been dancing for 10 days, great! Being the brave soldier that I am I made my way up to Scotland having not done a class for 2 weeks and braved the cold and the 6 girls who accompanied me to audition for Scottish Ballet.
The audition was a lot of fun and very good experience but I had to sit out of the last exercise because of the old ankle and unfortunately failed to get past the final hurdle. Well done to my wonderfully talented other bloggers who jammed there way in and should find out very soon if they have a job, nice one girls! The plane journey was a fantastic laugh and we certainly kept ourselves entertained by playing games (Me and my darling friend Jenny played the word association game, I thought i had her when i started with lightbulb, FILAMENT!!! she shouted, I was defeated). On the way back we met a lovely Scottish bloke who found himself stuck between us all but he soon warmed to Rym and her cockney accent and joined in the fun and games. We had a ball although spending half an hour trying to work out which celebrity Brenda was thinking about before she admitted she didn't really know their name was not so fun.
Tonight we have an in-house performance which I unfortunately am not involved in because of injury but hopefully it will all go well, good luck to everyone!
Finally I will finish with a joke, simply because no one believed i would have the guts to do it. I was going to tell you the one about the wall but I don't think you would get over it. Take care, speak soon
