Day 560: (j)Aaa

And we're back: my work feels like play. So yesterday, I got a sweet as sweet role in forum piece playing a version of half of my current favourite pair of TV characters: Saga Noren. I'd say my favourite, but that Kim Bodnia's one to enjoy watching, isn't he... Martin Rohde... is that the character name? Loving The Bridge 2. 


So back to Saga. I get to do a scene where I interject at random times, with random comments that mean everything to me and that (in this context, because it's useful forum theatre piece and not hard-hitting Scandi murder-drama) make people laugh. Not at the character as such, I hope, but at the situation. It was mint, and I did it with the loveliest of people - delicious Neil, lovely Stephen and fine [Italian Man, not French Woman] Simone - the über mother-placator (one picture with Simone and any mother secretly worried about their daughter's single status will be deeply relieved - the perfect gay boyfriend!) He's also unflinchingly positive, lovely, complimentary, affectionate and warm. It's a delight to work with him.

I loved slipping into the Beginners' Ashtanga class this morning. Did me the world of good. Already, I have seen progress. Good cycling, great rehearsal AND I'm enjoying the translations I was sent today - but it does mean that I need to shift my arse from in front of this computer and land it in my bed.

Top moment of today? Big, black, wide-eyed cat Tiny's even wider-eyed, appalled look in response to the big old Ommmmmmm at the start of the Ashtanga opening chant, off of YouTube. If a cat could say 'What The Fuck?'...
