I'm having a facelift!




Not me!

 


My house is having a facelift – hurrah! It is now cloaked in lime-based mortar so no more leaks. Hurrah! My finances took a hit resulting in the cancellation of my trip to Edinburgh Fest. Boo! On the plus side, I saved money and enjoyed a break with my elderly mum  - she loves my company. Hurrah!



Enough of the pantomime.



When applied to my mum, I found out she objects to the word old. I jokingly suggested using the wizened, which didn’t land well. Senior? Venerable? Mature as a vintage wine? What do you think?



Some people think they’re old at 30 or 40 or 50. On my mother’s 87 birthday, I asked her how old did she feel? She answered “25.” It’s a lesson to us all, the number might be rising, the body shrinking and creaking, but folk don’t necessary FEEL old.



My house is old – built in 1886. It needs constant care and like my mother it is a fine specimen of classy preservation. Now, will my mum approve of that term?



Read lots of fab Ed Fest reviews – congratulations to the many people I know who performed. Sad not to see you…



I will enjoy the unique comedy created on my next comedy course (Tues 10 Sept 7 - 9pm) in Exeter. So lucky to run these classes. And peeps, there is only 1 SPACE LEFT on this course! See below - hope to see you there.



Looking to deliver three-hour masterclasses / workshops in other towns. These are intented to support peoples speaking and performing skills, with an emphasis on developing their unique sense of humour. Am thinking possibly Exmouth, Totnes, Taunton or Plymouth. Let me know if you can help out with a venue or would like to attend.



You might not want or need a facelift but if you need a confidence lift in speaking and performing skills, you may need THIS lift, so look out for these up and coming Masterclasses.


As usual, a huge thanks for your support from Maggie and the team :)
