girlofpreyHello. I went away to Cornwall for a week. Well, part of that was spent travelling, but essentially. It was lovely. The weather even came good for most of it. I got a tan and everything. I also managed to get ill on the second night I was there, and spent the rest of the holiday coughing and spluttering, but there you go. I went with mum, who is also lovely, and we got back on Friday. I stayed overnight at my parents', saw my sister and nephews, then came back to Nottingham yesterday.
When I got back, I went out and saw Wall-E and The Little Shop of Horrors at the local Playhouse consecutively, just because. Little Shop of Horrors was fantastic. Honestly. I wasn't holding out much hope, because I'd been disappointed by James Son of James, which I was really looking forward to, and because the flyer looked like something a highschool play might put out. But it was great. The sets were brilliant, the singing was brilliant, the girls on the street who kept singing about things were brilliant. Audrey was brilliant. Seymour was very good. The dentist dude was great. The fact that the actor kept turning up again as EVERYONE ELSE WHO EVER TRIED TO SEDUCE SEYMOUR was brilliant. It's probably not very appropriate to laugh when the dentist talks about all the things he's going to do to Seymour's mouth. But there you go. On the way out I discovered that one of the most socially awkward things you can do is to catch a young girl's hair on a button on your bag as she stands with her parents, then stand for a minute or two trying to get it off without pulling her hair out while said adults watch you. Which is a lot of fun, naturally.
I came back to find that some of the roses I have growing in an ornamental watering can on my window bottom are covered in web and tiny spider-like insects. I want to do something about that, but I'm not sure what. I'm probably not going to read back through everyone's posts for the week because - no. I know that things have been happening for certain people on my flist though, and I am thinking of them. If anything important has happened to anyone else or there's been a sudden ficathon for a character I love or something, you may want to comment here or email me or something.
I love you all. x

Date: 2008-07-26 10:47 am (UTC)A woman at work has given me some advice about the roses. Apparently what I need to do is take them outside for a bit, wipe them a bit with a tissue if I can, then get a little hand sprayer and spray them with diluted washing up liquid. Then wash out the sprayer and spray them with clean water. I'm going to attempt this today. Fingers crossed.
