Have totally overdone it. I was away working in Aberdeen all weekend, and have crashed and burned today. I had to cancel two night's work as I'm completely exhausted, and hoaching with a weird flu-like bug. So tonight I went to bed at 6pm and now I've just woken up.
Today's rehearsal was fabulous again, it's a dream job. Fred McAulay gave us a plug on his show yesterday, which was so cool of him. I've got close associations with the Fred show, I've been a contributor for the best pasrt of 8 years, and always love it. Fred is being massively supportive of Sweet Home Balmaha, as are so many other people. It's also a total joy working with my best mate, Matt - I knew he was talented, but I'm constantly in awe of what a great actor he is, and I'm learning so much from him. Kathleen McDermot continues to be an absolute joy, and has us in stitches every day.
In the middle of this madness, I lost my Aunt May last Friday. She had a colour TV before anyone else I knew, and every time there was a musical on the TV, I would go to her house and she would spoil me, letting me watch The King and I, The Sound of Music and all the greats. She made cracking pancakes as well. The funeral is Thursday, which I've managed to get out of rehearsals for. She was a nice lady, my dad's big sister.
Right, I'm off to bed with a book.

Darling Tom,
Sorry to hear the sad news of your Aunt. Memories are a special thing. I see my Uncle Harvard next Tuesday for the first time since April 1981. Family, he was a stand in Dad, he drove me round as a baby in his car when I wouldn't sleep. He carries a fresh white hanky in his pocket. We drove one night whilst it was freezing with a smashed windscreen. He protected me. Protect the memories!
I hope Thursday is a day of reflection and a chance to laugh alsoxx

Sorry to hear about your aunt, Tom. I hope the funeral went as well as possible. I'm sure she's dancing in musicals with the angels now.
Layenie xoxo
