yes, i am still alive
Well, I have been very busy lately. Paul is in a play so 3 days a week we are at rehearsals, I am doing make-up. Thursday we have stunt/stage fighting and swordfighting and for me, Gladiator training.
We did an event this past weekend at Atherstone (somewhere in the Midlands). The first day I was a Laaaaady and the second a slave Gladiator.
On the first day we had a freak mini-twister. The Roman villa they built is about 20 odd foot long with diff rooms all attatched, made of wood. Well I was stood behind it haveing a smoke when the mini-twist struck. I heard the roof panel come away so I whipped around and saw them fly in the air, so i instinctively put my head down and covered the back of my neck with my hands. I tell u my life flashed before my eyes. Luckly the panels didn't hit me but the walls collapsed and the wall landed on my back. The panels landed on the car next to me. Needless to say I had a panic attack.
The second day, no-one would help Paul put on his Lion thing, so I had to help him. Well they didn't have any sandals that fit me so I was barefoot too. Well, as I went to grab the belt I walked into someones Armour and cut my leg.
During the Gladiator fight I had to get hit in the face with a shield, I pulled the whole muscle on my right thigh practicing the fall. Now I am hobbling like a twit. But I am not put off, I had a great time and can't wait to do it again.
