Comedy Club
Gorgeous Dave picked me up early evening and we went to the comedy club at Theatre Clwyd , which is an event which is growing in popularity.
Four comedians ( two ok, one excellent one terrible) faced a rather subdued audience but it was a good evening all told as Dave and I get on, and fill the gaps with flowing and easy conversations.
Dave is half my age, but we are firm and good friends and I like the fact that our friendship isn’t got an age boundary on it.
It’s been a lovely day today.
I’ve enjoyed it.
Tomorrow, I’m meeting my sister in law for lunch and later I’m walking with another friend down the beach …later on my sister Janet and I are off to pottery class…..
Parallel Mothers
I had something to eat in Chester afterwards, then came home walked the dogs and pottered….a bit later Gorgeous Dave will pick me up. We are going to Comedy Night at Theatre Clwyd ( an odd night for a comedy show I always think)
It’s bloody non stop lol

Same Time Next Year and Feedback
Some people may recall the 1970s film of the same title with Alan Alda & Ellen Burstyn which was a gentle comedy about two married people who meet up yearly for 25 years to have a weekend of infidelity, sex and intimacy
Last night I met up with my friend Claire to see the stage version with Kieran Buckeridge and Sarah Kempton in the lead roles at Theatre Clwyd which is going through a massive refurb
And we both were impressed with the quality of the production which is a bittersweet exploration of a fairly complicated 25 year relationship of a couple who are both happily married.
Epitaph
On the back of my earlier blog entry I am intrigued by what everyone would have written on their epitaph or headstone
What would you have written if allowed ?
On my headstone would be
“ Here Slumps John Gray
Loving friend, colleague, brother and husband
Back Home by 100 yards “
Tell me your chosen headstone epitaph ..

Hands On
My circadian rhythms are shot to hell. I’m back on nights on Wednesday and I felt jet lagged most of yesterday. This morning I’ve taken a leaf out of Rachel’s books and got a cancellation appointment with a masseuse at a local sports club. I rang at 8.30 and was being pummelled on a couch with my head in a hole by 9 am. How wonderful was that?
I feel so much more alive and emotionally stable afterward a bit of hands on therapy. The masseuse told me that flip flopping shift work at my age is dangerous , which isn’t quite the news I wanted to hear this morning, but I have booked another session next week after my next bout of nights.
I’ve just walked the dogs ( above video) and I’m off to deliver a cooked dinner to a friend whose having an exceptionally hard time at the moment .
Oh I did break wind during the massage , very loudly too, but I was too relaxed to care
