I mean, life is just bizarre, isn't it? Five years ago I had a really bad stand-up show in Colchester...I mean, really bad. One of those. (basically, Colchester, Long Preston and North Shields have been my only really bad ones in five years of doing this). It was just me, shouting down a microphone as a pub full of squaddies ignored me. At the end of the gig, I gave away copies of my book to anyone who had been listening just to prove that, beyond all of this mediocre stand-up shit, I was somebody. I assumed the books were just thrown away.
Today? An email from somebody who has randomly picked up a copy of the book...I looked her up, she lives in the same village as the venue. She's a small indie publisher and would like to see more of my work. Life is amazing, sometimes.
Both schools were fine today, as much as some parents are terrible at paying me, Always hate having to send 'that' email requesting money.
Both private lessons afterwards were pretty good, with a bit of traffic frustration inbetween them, I'm driving a lot of miles at the moment in a rattly old car with issues.
Evening off. Watched Bohemium Rhapsody with A, finally. It's fucking amazing, isn't it?
