This 'On This Day' thing on Facebook really annoys me, it's constantly reminding me that I was probably slightly happier a few years ago. For example, on this day 2 years ago we filmed the very first episode of 'Emily & Michael' - that was the start of a cracking run of events and year, that one, I was getting it all right. I get that I've achieved so much since then (the band stuff, the film, the shows are generally just a bit better, the novel/musical about to come out, and yeah - I do this for a living now) but still, I am slightly envious of my younger face, and the fact that I was just a little more positive with the world. And that was only two fucking years ago.
I'm probably niggled because I spent the whole day doing my tax return. The whole day! I can see why people moan so much about it now, but contrary to what you might hear, HMRC are really lovely to chat to - very helpful and helped this dumbarse a great deal as I asked them daft questions and they replied with "of course" lots of times. Full credit to Izzy, too, for confirming everything, and then to Edd later on as well. Christ, it shouldn't be this hard to fill out a form, should it? All done now, just need to press submit by the end of the month.
My car did a weird thing with double-speed indicators, as everyone told me on Facebook it was just a bulb issue, and the local garage only charged me £2 to fix it - I'll go to them more often.
Pretty much confirmed a comedy night for Macmillan in Cambridge, and pretty much confirmed a run at the Greater Manchester Fringe. Got rejected by a big agent. Still very little else coming back from the hundreds of emails I sent over Christmas. Got a meeting next week with a really, really big venue, where I'll be putting on the musical which I haven't written a word of yet in June.
Have written lots of notes for the new solo show, getting quietly excited by the concept of it.
