RIP Jack

I just got one of THOSE phonecalls. Mum and Dad just had their gorgeous bull arab, Jack, put to sleep and they did it without giving me a chance to see him or say goodbye so now I'm a blubbering mess and have absolutely no intention of doing anything productive tonight.

Prac has been going well - it isn't easy by any stretch - let's just say today's sixteen year olds don't appreciate Arthur Miller quite the way I do - but I'm learning heaps. I plan to win them over. Poor Jack.

I spent a fair bit of time over the weekend workshopping/auditioning for Judith's play, "Quandary". The director, Cat, is really nice and very switched on so I hope I get to do the show - and the potential cast is very exciting... Pauline, Brian, Ann, Kathy - I love these actors! - I'll keep you posted on that. And the play is great, by the way. A Quandary, indeedy...

I went to the movies with my lovely neighbour two doors down last night. His name is Neil and he's got a gorgeous dog called Winston and he's completely won Blazie over by giving him treats... He slow cooked a great stew yesterday which we had after the movie, it was really nice. Nice. Lame word. But it was. Nice.

Bless you Jack. Everyone loved you cause you were such a lovely, lovely boy. A real beauty. Wish I'd told you goodbye you fine old dog. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
