quiregrrlSaturday: It was disgustingly hot and revolting... in spite of that, Rin and Frank collected me in the morning and took me to go and pick up the ensemble base from Kath and Seans new place and delivered it and me home again. THANK YOU SO SO MUCH!!! After that was sorted I escaped to the Den where there was a Leesa and Huon and Ange and AIR CONDITIONING!!! huzzah for air con! final preps were done for Gurlesque, naps were had, and then the southerly hit and we went outside and praised Jeebus for dropping the temperature by a good 10 degrees!
Gurlesque: Was fabulous!!! I've not been when it's been at the Manning Bar before, so had no idea what the stage/venue was like but was very happy when I walked in... it's such a good venue! And the stage is HUGE!!!! Leesa and I performed in the first bracket of shows, and had a lot of fun up on stage. The size of the stage meant that I could run away from her ... favorite bit of that for me was when I made a run for the side of the stage and she caught me at the door and dragged me by the back of my bloomers :) That made me laugh a little :) But yeah, I think we managed to be nasty, dirty, sexy and funny, and seemed to get a good reaction from the whole audience, quite a few compliments afterwards from friends and strangers alike, was very good :) There were some fabulous shows throughout the night and a bevy of hotness on stage and on gogo podiums and outside on the balcony too :)
Sunday: Ms Lesley and Marekai collected me and we took the dogs to the Leichhardt Dog Park... I've not been to Disneyland, but I think that the Dog Park may well rival it for the happiest place on earth. Dogs everywhere running around and playing and getting pats from strangers, the humans have a cafe to get coffee from and everyone is friendly, talking to each other and playing with everyones dogs.. it's fabulous! And for someone like me, who loves dogs but is starved of their company out of necessity it's a joyous dose of canine delight :) After the dog park we went back to Lesley's for lunch and admiring the new bathroom... I have to take my toiletries and towel next time I visit... the shower looks AMAZING!
Sunday evening I spent two hours on the phone with the Goddess in NZ, which was very good indeed... gosh I miss her. But it was wonderful talking to her :)
Then I got another phone call which made me squee and do the happy dance... and then think "oh my god I have to clean"... so after pulling apart my old bed, and setting up the ensemble, and doing reasonable sane tidying and cleaning, it was suddenly 2am and I was vacuuming the venetian blinds in my bedroom. Yeah... my neighbours must love me. I did eventually stop and go to bed about 3am. So much for getting an early night :/
Monday: Lesley collected me again and we went to Kate's for haircutting (lesley's hair) and lounging, joined by Ange... Lesley got hot new hair phwoooar :) In the afternoon we visited Kath and Sean at their gorgeous new abode and celebrated their new shacked-up status, and then Ange delivered me home again... for more cleaning and general faffing about and being quietly nervous and dressing up a bit and then, by order, sitting and relaxing for an hour.
Then my date arrived.
Yeah... that was fun :) Really fun :) Thank you Sir :)
