and on this day ….
So I thought I would do something different with the girls (Healthy Weighty Wee Man wasn’t old enough ~ although he did steal the show). I had heard an ad on the radio for auditions for children back in August and had rung then to book Oldest Large Child in and then ended up cancelling it before the day. Well the company that was holding the auditions rang the other day and asked if I wanted to book for another audition and I thought, “why not?” so I book OLC and Wee Blonde Child in. HWWM wasn’t old enough. Well I have to say it really was a waste of time. I felt that it was more of a push to promote the company’s training programmes. I could have made better use of those hours, but hey it is all a learning curve right? I think I’ll find a local theatre group and try to kids out there.
But there is another significance to this day. 11 years ago I had a very serious car accident that I was incredibly lucky to walk away from fairly unscathed. I was a bit battered and bruised, but all in all I was okay. But still I can’t help thinking about it every year on this day. And the irony about that is it then reminds me that this day is also my old friend Cyndi’s birthday. We have been friends since before either of us wants to admit we were ever “that age” and every year (back in the dark ages!) I would always get the date of her birthday wrong by about a week either before or after the actual day. But from 1997 onward …. yeah not so much. Too bad we have grown apart on our separate paths of life. Regardless … Happy Birthday Spinbinder!
