...a truly awful cold that then spread to my lungs. (http://www.badum-tish.com/)
Apologies for my absence, but I have been a) quite poorly (see above) and b) extremely busy. Despite meticulous planning months in advance, Christmas seems to have snuck up on me this year- why are there never enough days in December? However with the presents wrapped and under the tree, the food all bought and the wine stocked up, I am now feeling a lot calmer.
Here's what you missed whilst I was away:
- me COMPLETELY losing my voice and having to follow my own advice on vocal health
-me cutting out all dairy, caffeine and alcohol out of my diet (sob) in an attempt to help my throat
-me having a chesty cough for a stupid amount of time
-me managing to get tendonitis whilst running gently
-me starting rehearsals for a show that I'm part of (then subsequently missing 1 because of the above health problems...not ideal)
-me running a 10k (yes really!)
Whilst I was unwell, I had plenty of time to think about both musical theatre and this blog. I realised that there are a silly amount of musicals that I haven't seen and I want to make an effort to see more, both for enjoyment and to educate myself on bits of musical history that I'm not all that familiar with. With that in mind, I am setting up a separate blog. My aim is to watch a new musical ('new' here meaning an adaptation of a show I haven't seen before rather than an original show) each week, and then to give my thoughts on it. In an ideal world, all the shows would be showing live right now, and I could afford to see them all however this simply isn't the case in this reality. For the most part, I shall be watching either filmed versions of staged shows or film adaptations of the musicals. I hope that this will open both our eyes to the wide variety of shows out there as well as keeping me busy writing!
This will probably be the last post here in 2014 for me, but I hope that you'll continue to follow me in 2015 on my journey!
All the best for the festive season!
