i just had the busiest week i’ve ever had since i started doing stand up. i had 2 gigs every day except thursday – from wednesday thru to sunday. Trouble is it was one gig too far for my poor car. i drove from an afternoon gig in Bognor Butlins to Mold Theatr Clwyd. but the engine made a big bang, and i broke down on the M40. so no gig in mold for me. grumpy is life. waitin on a hard shoulder,,,,good job i included that breakdown service in my insurance.

saw a fox two days running….and 2 magpies along with it. meaning ? spirit? freedom?

but then yesterday i also killed a stupid phesant….it was writing in pain as i drove away, rushing to get to bognor, the outer regis. how come i get a week so busy? it started last wed afternoon in pontypridd; i did a 5 minute set in welsh for S4C Noson Lawen – the xmas episode, so i had to pretend, and write a xmas set, i was very pleased with it, also included jokes about teh smelly portaloos in the Steddfod.

it’s a bit stressful knowing the car’s fucked, well, i could pay for a new head gasket, £1500 said the RAC man…no thanks
