    Now,as some of you may have noticed,we are deeply committed to paying hommage to The Bard,and,apart from an all star cast of Romeo & Juliet,I have been fortuanate to secure the services of one the world's worst Shakespearian act-ors.
    Yes fellow thespians,I'm talking about the one and only Jackson Hedley,who has already shown the world what he is made of in a much acclaimed episode of 'Frasier'.

    I know that 'Frasier' is perhaps not everyone's cup of mead,but I hope that you enjoy the excerpt,and see for yourselves what Mr Hedley can bring to the table,though the visual quality of the excerpt isn't great.

    Here is the full episode,which is has a much better quality,and well worth sitting through.

    No, Igor, go and read the three witches bit in Macbeth again....the tiger's chaudron bit comes after the eye of newt bit. I think old Bill was struggling to find something to rhyme with cauldron.

    Deaf Leopard Are you taking all the pain killers that you can?If you are,and you're still in pain,speak to your doctor.(((Hugs))) to you.

    Yeah though I am trying not to rely on them too much since I don't want to become immune to them. Like i take paracetmols & an hour or so later my head is still in so much pain. I'll try to arrange a Doctors appointment it hurtrs pretty much all the time.

    Its a pain that goes from one side of my head,in my neck then to the other side of my head. Not sure if it's still effects from op.

    Anyhoo.

    I got #4 & #5 for today & yesterday.

    I do owe my mum a lot of money so I'm not counting tomorrow as a NSD. It's unfair & Its also a carboot so I'm heading there to check it out.

    NOw, I know this is about saving money.
    but 1) i guess it is saving money at the carboot and
    2) This is the first Easter Monday where I've had it off and the first chance in around 3 years to go to the carboot
    (Have weekends/bank holidays free now I have a new job & left my old one)

    But I take it this pain is present since the op?
    It's quite normal to have post-op pain,but if you're not taking the prescribed doses then you're going to suffer,and for nothing.Usually doctors prescribe post-op pain killers to be taken regularly,and also prescribe something for breakthrough pain.Maybe over a few days,take them regularly,with the breakthrough ones if needed,and see how you feel.
    Usually post-op pain will diminish and then should disappear.
    You can't become immune to the effects of pain killers,certainly not if you're taking them for a few weeks only,so why suffer?If you're in constant pain,you're also going to be all tensed up,which won't help either.

    Happy hunting at the car boot. :)

    ETA well done on #5! :beer:

    Nargle remarkably Mr Hedley is free on short notice,so he's signed up for everything.
    Yes,Igor has met his match. :rotfl::rotfl:

    Get to bed, Igor, you can clean up the mess in the marquee tomorrow. Fortunately the gang did not get too drunk tonight, they did overdo the chocolate, though. Remember tomorrow you need to get the ancient Roman amphitheatre tidied up for the show. Before tech rehearsal. Then, after lunch, dress rehearsal - hope those costumes are ready, Knitwitch needs to get a move on! We just need Hubert to stop mispronouncing his lines, I keep hearing "Womeo, Womeo" in my sleep....

    It's worrying that Hubert is having problems with his lines,but my main concerns are:

    -how are we to fit Hubert into his dress,seeing as his corset no longer fits all the way round and stage jitters are making him eat and eat and eat?

    -the props,mainly the balcony...take one large donkey and one flimsy balcony.
    Hoist said donkey plus bejeweled frock,high heels and all manner of nosegays onto balcony.
    Watch balcony plummet to the ground,crushing Romeo (who will no doubt sue for willful aggravation of his hernia).

    Do I need to add that all this excitement is not good for Hubert,and will surely aggravate his digestive problems.
    We all know what they are :(

    Igor,I need you to get on the blower PDQ and order a reinforced balcony,please.That wall needs to be shored up too.
    Never mind what it costs,this is an emergency. :eek::eek:

    All this worry.I'll never sleep tonight.Pass the valium please. :(
