Who Are You?

Hurrah for the weekend. I’m totally worn out but now I have some time off next week. Hurrah and Huzzah! Of course I shan’t actaually be resting or anything as frivolous as that – I’m perfecting some new facial skincare lines so watch this space. For this weekend though, I am doing absoultely nothing, zip, nada ……except this blog of course. It’s been another bonkers week in BrexitLand but I won’t bore you with the tedious chicanery of our dimwitted politicians. My favourite spectacle was seeing a self-important MP getting hoisted with his own petard. Having obviously set up an ambush for the PM’s adviser Dominic Cummings, with TV crew in tow, it was hilarious to see a bemused Dominic watching his antics without a clue as to who this lunatic was. Cue deflation of MP with Dominic saying ‘I don’t know who you are’ and asking his companion, ‘Who is this guy?’ Can anyone say insignificant nonentity? I laughed like a drain as I saw Mr Cummings begin to get the distinct look of a man chained to a maniac as the MP ranted at him. Comedy gold. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u8FAhyQEJRI

Adorable poppet cutie of the week award goes to Theo, a 2½ -year old taking part in an acting masterclass with Brian Cox. I’m always amazed by what incredibly good mimics very young children can be. That’s why we don’t go about effing and blinding in their vicinity, not that I eff and blind of course, being so posh and all that 🙂 This is one of my favourite Shakespearean set-pieces. How swanky do I sound, having favourite Shakesperean soliloquies? Says in fruity, actorly voice, ‘Oh yah, soliloquies are my thing, don’t you know.’ I have to say that I’m more your take up arms, death-to-my-enemies, drink aquavit out of their skulls kinda girl. I’m certain that is why I was dragooned into Christianity so early- God obviously took a look and said ‘Let’s get this one double-quick before she can carry out her scorched earth, salt-their-fields tendencies.’ I digress 🙂 Anyway, here are Brian and Theo in their glory. The pure, clear logic of a small child – “To be, or not to be. That is the question” “Yeah, it is” Priceless. Have a wonderful weekend. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=loDMRzPiCic
