It is not ideal from a personal point of view because it has already impacted on the theatre work that Paul has booked into the diary, and the income would be good…. but I would rather that people were safe and healthy in the long term. The show that is coming in this week is “Priscilla Queen of the Desert” (starring Jason Donavan) but that has been set-up as a socially distanced run, but the next one is “Hairspray” and as it was optimistically sold as a normal house, with the announcement on the 17th June it has been postponed ‘until further notice’. Not ideal – for anyone – but least of all for those trying to earn an honest crust! Having said, that my five different job roles have been wringing all energy out of me! Evaluating the current ‘portfolio’ has been at the forefront of my mind recently and it is highly likely I will make a few changes over the summer months. It is more obvious that I have even less patience than ever with – what I consider – the waste of my time whether it being driving somewhere or doing something (or too much of something) that is dull or bureaucratic. Perhaps the events of the past year or so has made many of us consider what is important and – frankly – what is a load of tosh!?
And, let's not even think about text messages, WhatsApp, Zoom, TEAMS and MEET! Although having said that, a couple of weeks ago Paul and I had a very successful catch-up via FaceTime with friends in Germany - who we know from Australia. It is amazing how 90 minutes literally zoomed by (see what I did there?) and it was good to have a good laugh and gossip - with a lot of putting the world to rights too. Well, I suppose we have all been developing those skills over the past fifteen months haven't we?
