Ups and downs
Ups
We had a fantastic show. It was sold out every night after the first night. This practically never happens to us.
I got my voice back just in time and was able to do all the singing and talking I needed to.
Downs
Chris' got my cold and it turned to a cough and he lost progressively more voice as the week went on. He was unable to sing the falsetto he had practised so carefully and had to sing down the octave.
The dark hair dye did not wash out properly and each day left progressively more red behind until on Sunday he looked like he'd had a very ill-advised hair job.
Ups
He has a face-to-face interview on Weds at Oxfam at 9am. We are hopeful and excited.
Downs
He is still quite ill and now can only speak in a whisper. We are hoping he will be well enough for the interview.
I fell over just outside the after-show party and have mildly sprained my right ankle, pulled various muscles and given myself a massive cut on my left knee which is rather warm and throbbing slightly. If it has not gone down tomorrow, I will call the doctor.
Ups
We had given a qualified first aider a lift to the party and her prompt and calm action was instrumental to the fact that I am recovering so well.
As I could not move around the party, the party came to me while I recovered enough to go home.
My parents came and were genuinely impressed by the show (instead of the polite response they sometimes show).
Our friend Ailie flew down from Edinburgh to see the show and spend the weekend and we had a wonderful time.
My boss is happy for me to work from home until my ankle is strong enough for me to use it enough to get in to work.
