Panto number two...and...why I blog...

Yesterday evening saw the beginning stages for my second panto of the year starting... well I say the beginning stages... it's not actually the beginning stages of the panto it's just the start of my involvement in it...

This time it's Mirfield Parish Church's rendition of Dick Whittington and his Wonderful cat... and the rig we are running is (for us) extremely simple. The whole kit taken was just the one car load... well ok so that's a lie... i took the spots separate in the car today but other than the spots everything else went in Bens car!

The fit up was as simple as can be as well… Got to Bens about 3 yesterday and was home by 7.30pm! For a get in and fit up that was bloody good work for just the two of us!

In other news - this week has seen the Guinness Fridge and the Guinness turning up - much joy and drinking to be had then!

I've also been thinking today why I actually "blog".... many people blog, I'm just one of them. There are many different reasons why people blog - some people do it for the fun, some to keep people informed on what's going on. Me... I keep a blog as a way of venting my thoughts and feelings; I keep this blog as a way of expressing my ideas, thoughts and as a way of letting people into just a sice of my life. I also keep this blog as a way of documenting what I do in life - the ups, the downs, the fears, the ambitions and the excitement n my life. I'm probably not alone in using a blog as a way of venting my (sometimes secret and very revealing) thoughts - I for one find it easier to know that people can read my thoughts without me having to tell them. I have often used my blog as a way of telling people things and getting things off my mind without actually telling people in real life. Yes, people I know do read this blog but as those that know me will testify I find it a lot easier to say things in writing than I do face to face.

Over the years that I have been blogging (looking back I realize that I’ve been blogging in one way or another for nearly four years now) I’ve found great solace in the knowledge that I can express myself in a way where nobody will judge, nobody will shout at me and nobody can cut me off in my train of thought. Many a time I have posted something to my blog purely so I can get my mind sorted. Like Dumbledores pensive in Harry Potter, this blog is my way of storing things for later use allowing me to concentrate on the present.

Anyway, tis getting a bit deep is all this and my glass is empty… so must go re-fill it!
