Did some filming today for "Sitcoms that Changed the World"- an ITV show coming to the small screen soon. Did I Love Lucy change the world? What about Queer as Folk? Roseanne? Ellen? The Good Life? Turn off your television and do something revolutionary instead.
Also did a voiceover today- inflight entertainment for Phillipines Airline. I also do Continental, but only business and first class, cause I have that kinda voice. Spent the rest of the day packing- I am off on a solo retreat to the Pyrenees to write and think and commune with bears and wolves and wild boar. So forgive me if my blog posts are a bit sporadic for the nest few weeks- I don't even have a telephone or TV, let alone t'internet there.
MMMMMmmmmm....made gazpacho for my dinner. Perfect summer food. First time I ever had it- aged 8- I couldn't believe there was such a thing as COLD SOUP. Doesn't make sense when you think about it. COLD. SOUP. (*shrug*)

OK, just back from Duckie - Murray Hill, the hardest working middle aged man in show business was on - funny! Heard so much about Murray in the past- a real Brooklyn drag king legend- so really pleased wse could put him on stage. Was late getting to Duckie because our neighbour decided to try & start a race riot by goading some asian cab drivers. luckily the minicab guys had a mobile phone with a video and sound recorder so they got it all and showed it to the police when they arrived. Thought they might arrest the neighbour for incitement to racial hatred- she was really having a go at the poor blokes because of the bombings here in London- but they didn't respond in an agressive way, even when she spat at them. How shameful. All this in a quiet corner of central London. As if the police don't have enough to do without calming racist middle aged women.
