I have thought about going abroad to take a break after all the upheaval, with the passing of Mum and Dog I don't really have ties as such here any more.
Trouble is, I love London and the UK. I am still doing the comedy (stand-up) and am getting good at it. In fact, all live performances seem to be going great guns. They are holding up despite my having to move from the house that Mum, Dog and I shared soon too.
I have met quite a lot of new people through performing live including the comedy. My comedy class and I have all made twits of ourselves trying to be funny and no one laughing, then trying again and getting the laughs, and now we are honing and polishing our acts ready for the show - in two weeks! Cripes!
Quite how you continue to do live shows while half your live is caving in around you and the other half burgeoning with new life, is beyond me, but it's happening to me. Still not sure whether I am moving somewhere else in London or to Brighton. Or whether it really should be somewhere like New York this time.
Looks like I'm in a New York State of Mind (no I'm not trying to be Mr Big).
Perse.
