It's clearing!

Haha, I can almost breathe through my nose again! Still under the lurgy spell, I've now got a blocked nose and a *lovely* chesty cough but at least I feel human.

PB has been good this week. Gained some more knowledge inc: some new cocktail's, how to work the coffee machine (which involved scalding myself - but we'll gloss over that!) and how to cook the evening's food. Not bad for a week's work! Steph and Kat are supervisor's at the minute but they will be back at Uni and in Canada (respectively) in 2 weeks so I will be left with loads of day shifts - almost like a real job. The only down side is that I get caught in the seemingly endless traffic coming out if Birmingham but hey, you can't have everything!

Rehearsal's for SYETE are going pretty well. It felt weird when I went to my first one 2 weeks ago. But they were all having a laugh (especially Adam - playing Sir Justin Holbrook, the guy who's hired me - who was behaving very oddly!) and it helped me relax.

I'm finding it quite tricky to be elegant and sexy, there are times when I wonder why my character is on stage at all - as Joy (Lady Holbrook) said "I have acres of nothing", but on the whole it's cool. They went into great discussion in the pub about what I'm wearing. The high heels, stockings and suspenders go without saying, but the decision is split between:

a slinky slit cocktail dress OR a short skirt and top,

answers on a postcard please! As Ted (The Director) pointed out, they've never seen my legs so they don't know which to suggest. So I guess muggins here will have to wear my short skirt to 'help' them decide! This is quite a bizarre experience - they've known me since I was 15!

I felt awful on Wednesday night so I wasn't exactly at my best. My character keeps getting caught up in all the action but basically just wants to go home and go to bed - I could totally sympathise with her that night!
