eyes 7 May 2009
oooh, the things you learn and have never thought through anyhow cos why would you – one of the consequences of bungee jumping, apparently, is that you may end up with eyeballs pulled out of your head which makes sense as in G force tugging bits of you that are on basically held in place on strings out of their mooring. there’s an answer as to whether i’ll be trying that one…
thanks to the young ladies who left the lovely message about us in the north tawton church guest book made us feel very special.
thanks also to my new website friend who had a similar poo in the sea experience as myself while growing up and told me they referred to swimming in it as ‘going through the motions’ – TOP!
and the great irish actor jonathan white reminded me that i have indeed lived through an actual fire – we did a great production of OUR COUNTRY’S GOOD in dublin once and, while the warehouse next door was burning down, felt so strongly about that show that we insisted on finishing it – and most of the audience stayed too – madness i know but it was that moving a play to do and we were so proud of it, and happily the punters mostly agreed, but of course it was madness to continue as we did. the fire in north bovey the other night led us to asking one another what we’d save if we had one item and your people and pets are out – tough decision…
