Back home alone

Lou is off back to Brighton. It’s actually been lovely having her here, even though we’ve been like ships in the night. Huge show she’s working on and it has been a big long week for her, up very early and home very late, in on the weekend. This’ll be the shape of it for her for quite some time. She’s already pulled some friends into her gravity with it and earned them some money too. One of them will be going off to Riyadh.

It’s pleasant being the person that gets your friends work. I’ve been enjoying that recently too. It’ll deepen her bond with them, and we all know that work breeds work.

Not always immediately though. This time last year I was still in Stratford. Now I’m gearing up for America but right now I still don’t know who I’m going with. It’ll only be five of us and the dynamic will be very important. I’m hoping it’ll be a lovely bunch. No wankers. They always say that if you’re on a job and you think there are no wankers in the cast it’s because it’s you.

It’s already late, I lost track of time. Now I don’t have Lou to help me time keep and go to bed it is already going to pot. For both of us. Brian slept all day, back on New Zealand time, and he’ll be up all night now.

I’m gonna keep this short and try and get my head down. I get the whole bed, but it feels empty …
