Tired but famous(ish)

[ladyofastolat]

I am so tired, I can barely think. I worked a six day week last week, and three of those were at a training course that included evening sessions, and worked us very hard. Friday, Saturday and Sunday nights have all been very late, for various reasons (over-indulgence; a wedding ceilidh; some late-night saving of the world from ancient evils) Plus, I never sleep well anyway, and am always up earlier than I need to be.

I think I will have to make my excuses and not go to a mainland meeting I'm supposed to be going to on Wednesday. That way I can get a day off this week after all, but without falling behind on my real work.

Anyway... In other news, Pellinor and I might have had a "blink and you'll miss it" dancing appearance on Blue Peter, but we (or, rather, our mixed dance side) was on Channel 4, and our Squire did an interview. This was a show about the Bestival, which confirmed my belief that we were some of the most ordinary people there. So this year we've been interviewed on South Today, appeared a little bit on Blue Peter, appeared on the Culture Show on BBC2, appeared on Channel 4, and been closed down by the authorities when performing a mummers' play in the theatre at Delphi. Not bad for a season's dancing.

They didn't bat an eyelid at Epidauros, even when a rowdy gang of French teenagers started singing "Frere Jacques". Delphi just seemed to have different rules. I bet that tour guide isn't going to invite anyone to perform again, though!

Though, really, I'd have through the Greeks would be quite happy to let us perform a play about a heroic saint vanquishing a Turk...

Good point! And, isn't St. George Greek anyway, or the patron saint of Greece or something?

Ah. Apparently so. Though he's one of four. The greedy things, having four patron saints. Isn't our good St George good enough for them?
