Hyper preparations

Another week, another set of events.

In between organising for a feral cat to be neutered and the usual school and domestic routine - ordering black kitchen worktops to be fitted before Christmas, I've been with the nursery children again.   I was born to teach small children to dance, and I knew this when I was their size.  From my first strict stick-knocking ballet mistress to the whacky eccentric dance school owners, I've known I wanted to be one of them.

This week watching the nursery children mastering their moves was very gratifying.  Their energy keeps me going.

I did the Hyper Japan event again.



This week I was curious enough to turn up to something I don't usually do... a personal testimonial. I've always turned these down in the past, but this one was for a fashion brand.  A camera around 18 inches from my face, capturing every facial tic while I described a relationship was an intimate scenario.  The story itself was easy to tell, but I felt exhausted on the way home.

The preparations for Christmas have started, I have a stash of exciting things hidden. I wonder if that's the reason for my sudden tiredness this week.

A promotion in Leicester Square ticked off my list, along with a hostess job at the Emirates Stadium. I wasn't keen on it when I saw the list of requirements.  Unlike Kim Kardashian, I'm not attempting to break the internet with a back view of my oiled up bun.


There was a strict uniform to be adhered to, I tried on the dress in my size...  It was slightly uncomfortably tight.  I decided to go a size up.  There was ONE dress a size up on the rail... the only one.  I grabbed it quickly and struggled to pull it up before I realised that ALL the sizes of all the dresses were incorrect.  This one was smaller than the one I'd just taken off, I couldn't even do it up. Now I was stuck.  The size 6 girls were swamped.  A Frenchman was holding his trousers in front of him like Weightwatcher's slimmer of the year making desperate sounds which cries for a belt.  He didn't get one...  He was saying "I can get another PERSON in here with me." I was doubled over laughing.   It turned out there was no dress to be found to fit me, so I was sent home (with pay).  Oh well.  I suppose I could have got into the Frenchman's outfit with him...

I have a possibility for next week, but I don't want to jinx it so that's all for now.
