Not long 'til ; Curtain Up! Except there is no curtain.

We're well into rehearsals and have had some interesting days, particularly last Tuesday when we were rehearsing at a church near Caledonian road station.
On the way a cyclist refused to stop as we tried to cross at the crossing. He sped past as we tried to cross and Steve shouted his dissatisfaction at him.
The cyclist flipped him off and rode away.
Steve legged it after him (not easy as he was wearing flip flops) and outside Tescos, managed to get the guy off his bike for a bit of a scuffle.
Me and Gary ran up to the commotion to break it up but a plain clothes policeman was already on the scene.
After it all calmed down and the cyclist went on his way (hopefully with a new regard for pedestrians) we went to the church to rehearse.

Sitting in the church doorway was a homeless girl.
I thought I would make her a cup of tea and give her one of the bananas I had with me.
I made the tea and carried it out with the banana to give to her.

As I approached her however, she shouted at me to go away.
Maybe I should've made coffee.

Later on Gary had a phone argument with a Virgin telephone operative who kept talking over him and was being unhelpful.
So we all had a bit of an odd day that Tuesday.
There was definately something in the air.

Anyway must go, have to waterboard Steve.
More fun and japes next time readers!
