So, it’s been a while since I wrote anything

I suppose I don’t really have anything interesting to say! I did manage to get out a few weeks back though to see Joseph at the Adelphi in London. I went with a friend who I haven’t seen since June 2007. I did worry it’d be awkward as we’ve not had one on one time before so I was a little concerned that we’d have too many pauses in conversation – but I needn’t have worried. From the start we chatted pretty much non-stop right through till about 2am, which has to be a record for me in the staying awake stakes! Although saying that I was forced to stay awake till 3am in December after a Michael BublĂ© concert – it was either that or die on the motorway though. Anyway, I digress (for a change!).

The production was amazing, and Lee Mead still looks completely ecstatic at the end when he accepts his well deserved raucous applause. However, we decided that seeing one West End show wasn’t enough and ended up going to see We Will Rock You the following day. I have to say in all honesty WWRY is a squillion times better than Joseph. Whilst Joseph was amazing and Lee gave an incredible performance, the energy of the actors and actresses in WWRY is mind-blowing. Just thinking of giving 8 performances of that every week makes me tired!! Last week I discovered that the very gorgeous and talented Simon Bailey used to be in WWRY……

The long and short of all that was that I highly recommend both shows!!

Tonight I’ve been trying to do some research. Without going into too much personal information I’ve been looking at support for M.E / CFS sufferers. I’ve now come to the conclusion that there’s pretty much bugger all! And what there is, is under funded and not updated all that regularly. It’s no wonder that people who suffer with this are completely misunderstood. So what with the majority of them being shafted by the NHS and having very little research being conducted into the illness it’s a wonder there haven’t been a greater number of suicides with all the hideous symptoms they have to endure daily.

Brain fog has descended upon me so I’m going to give up writing now. I’ve completely forgotten what I was going to write about next. It was probably just another moan anyway!!
