The dress rehearsal last night and all went well. I am disappointed that we are not near the stage as there seems to be quite a few half naked lady dancers in the show and I am missing it!!!
I spoke to a few musicians last night asking what they did for a living. It was how I expected. one was at the Conservator of music and the others mostly music teachers. I was asked what I did and this is the bit I do enjoy. I proudly said 'Undertaker'......Deathly (pun intended) silence. I love it.
The old tooth started to play up again last night. I am trying to hang on until my appointment in April as trying to get in before then is almost impossible.
Had a nice letter from my Cousin this morning. She sent some photo's and articles about my Grandad. I never met him as he died a few weeks before I was born. It seems he was a well loved man and was affectionately known as 'pop's
He was a Panel beater at Sanderson and Holmes and was so good at his trade that when Rolls Royce wanted something special, they sent a chauffeured car to fetch pops?
Strange then, that I went for an apprenticeship as a millwright and I did not know this. ( I also was into snooker and fishing something else he loved)
I proudly show his photo above.
Decided to use another week of my hol allowance up whilst on show (we have no work on anyway). Went into town and bumped into our singer. Bless him, he was angry that he had made an error on one of his numbers. Crikey he thinks he is alone? we all do it and some of us beat ourselves up about it. As he said he is a perfectionist and hates it when it goes wrong. They would not have put rubbers on the end of pencils if we were all perfect.
Talking of Dentists another true epitaph of a demised one..
Stranger, approach this place with gravity.
John Brown is filling his last cavity!!!
