Re:
I was only reminiscing the other day about my 3 favourite memories of being an usher at our local Arts Cinema in the 80s. #3 (only #3) was seeing Bruce on the big screen in No Nukes. #1 was not when I was working as an usher. They ran a 10 week film appreciation course. During Psycho, the woman sitting next to me grabbed my leg at one point. She had not seen the film before. It was a genuine fright reaction by her, and I was too shy to speak to her afterwards.
For the record, #2 was about the projectionist who I had a crush on. I was one of only a handful of people to see her debut film, a short, in Welsh, about growing up as a twin. It was really good, and (thanks to google) I see that she is still involved in the academic side of cinema. I was not too shy to speak to her; it would have been strange if I hadn't, given that I was collecting tickets right next to the projection room door once a week. But I never asked her any personal questions and it was months before she mentioned one night that she was meeting her boyfriend after the film.
I am so glad that I am more confident now.

Re: I did something I never thought I woud do.
Lol- we have pizza for tea a LOT in this house Di believe me! :) I would never win any prizes for wife/ mother of the year. Maybe when Amy was tiny I would have but not anymore. I cut so many corners it is unbelievable. Maybe I've just got lazy because I'm at home all day. I used to be OCD about the house being tidy and now, well it stays fairly tidy downstairs but upstairs is a bomb site! I do feel guilty that Zan is out working incredibly hard all day whilst I'm just- here. I need to be better really; do more stuff with my time. I am meant to be repainting the front room but whenever I think about it I can't get motivated.
I agree about not rewriting chapters in your life; I wouldn't either. xxx
You have to come and see me; whenever you can, I would LOVE THAT!!!!!!!
