Before you wonder this is not an advert. The 11 year old has spent a week in each of the last three years doing acting/drama/singing/combat lessons at the guildhall near Barbican in London, then they all have a performance at Her Majesty’s theatre in Haymarket on a sunday evening. The quality of the teaching is superb. Just wanted to mention this. Not especially cheap but not a rip off either.
this is the week that elena is up at her West end Stage training. So, dutifully a 6.30 am alarm call, packed lunch made and hopped onto the 7.46 train to Waterloo. All went well but it reminded me how awful it is to commute. the underground trains were packed solid. All went well it seems, other than the singing teacher is not liked ” dont think he likes kids”…..apparently the Guildhall stage and drama have the best muffins in the world…..and as they charge the same as Costa would 1.40£ each, I imagine they must be. but actually the whole thing was very impressive. The organisation was spot on and all the folks I met were decent people.
Houdini escaped again tonight. His ball is going to be re-cycled tomorrow and I shall have words with that Pets at Home shop. These balls are not “nibble-proof” for Hamsters. We had no idea where he had gone but luckily the door was shut limiting his activity a little.
