Here we are Easter Monday and back from doing a show in St Albans. Today I was working in a Nursing home and just before I started one old lady told me to “Bugger Off” even before I sang a note. “Bad Luck” I said “I can’t aford to Bugger Off not before I’ve sung and been paid”.Needless to say it wasn’t long before I had her up singing and dancing along with the rest of the room. I love my job – I think I surpised the cares too but then that’s what I’m paid to do. I may not be able to spell or add up but I know how to entertain and it’s moments like these that make it all worth while! People don’t always understand it’s not always about money.
I know I’m not every-ones cup of tea but it makes me happy to please others through my talent. Tonight I shall be working alittle more on my Evette show. Lots of words to learn and I’m having fun playing around with words and patter.
Dress fitting tonight for the Edwardian shoot and I shall be trying my dress on with my dyed shoes. Sadly they have gone a little streeky so a little on the shaby chic side. Nobodies perfect I might need to decorate! Easter Bonnet shows continue next week Do Keep Watching!

 It’s been one of thoses days today where I’ve been able to sort out my Net Book – Harar! and yes I did it all on my own so I feel ever-so empowed and all powerful. The machines aren’t taking me over ofter all at last I’ve won a battle or be it a very little one!
I’ve also dye a pair of silk shoes today. It’s been ages since I last dyed a pair of shoes infact it was this pair pictured which went with my 60s dress. These ones are to go with my new Edwardian costume and at one point it was a bit touch and go navy almost went purple but we got there in the end. I hate to admit it but I don’t know as much as I would like about the break down of colour. Perhaps if I had studied fine art I would understand more. I come from a design background and for quickness I would use felt tips and coloured pencils – never really did much paint mixing. My lack of knolage caught up with me today!
Sadly I never got to go out for my pick nick as hoped but I did enjoy my run this morning and the light rain on my face. Tonight I shall be playing around with some script idears for Evette in the middle of songs. I know it sound crazy but all will come right. Like all artists I have my vision and I know what to do to make the show work. Do keep watching and toodle pip for now!

 Not that I ever have – but now might just be the time to start smoking! Can you belive it another net book crash. Ever since I have tried to go over to this sytem it has been one problem after another. Same old re- ocurring problem the arrow keys stop working and shuffle about.
I’ve spent a futune on trying to fix this problem and no sooner the problem is fix it re-ocures with-out warning just when you are about to start singing. I’ve had enough and I’ve decided to ditch the whole sytem along with I Pad 2 – what a waist of time and money the pair have been. Both are unrelable and unusable for a professional singer. I’m going back onto mini disk I just can’t keep taking the risk in performance and no way will I be taking either out to France with me. Lucky I always carry back-up. I fear this is an oman I’m very superstishous and both of these systems have brought me bad luck. They were set up by my ex-boy friend and I feel fate is telling me to get rid of every-thing to do with him. I’m looking forward to meeting up with my new sound engineer this Friday. One thing I’ve learn’t – if you want a job doing always go to a professional!

 Just a quick note to wish you all a very Happy Easter. I’m just finnishing off some last minute paper work before my show this afternoon and once again I have shows all weekend. However I do have Easter Sunday off which is a treat so I might take myself out on a pick nick if the weather holds. I quite fancy sitting quietly in the sunshine leaning my songs and playing around with script idears for Evette the Spivette.
I also need to dye a pair of shoes to go with my new Edwardian costume. I haven’t dyed shoes in a long time so I’m wondering if I can remember how to do it but the most important thing is I have the dying swatch – so something to play with first.
Have a lovely Easter one and all – Oh and before I forget next week we will be branding my Twitter pages. I’m still not really sure what I’m doing with Twitter yet but if you want to follow me there please do.
Thank-you to Rachel and every one at Big Gun Digital who have helped me with this blog and all things web-site and internety. It always pays to go to professionals.Happy Easter Every-one and do keep watching as I have lots of plans for the future! ;->
