I'm now learning a lot about fundraising, event planning and generally being organised these days. I think somewhere down the line I might have missed out on a(nother) vocation as I'm loving it! Apart from the sleepless nights where no-one turns up to the Ceilidh and I'm left trying to drown my sorrows in £400 of cheap Union ale (the required amount of takings the bar needs in order to get the staffing for free - yeah, well it made some kind of sense in my dreams!). Or indeed the other Ceilidh-related dream where hundreds of surprise guests arrive and the venue turns out to be intended for sedate bible-readings and is therefore the size of shoe box with maximum seating capacity of six. Despite the fact it's keeping me awake at night, I'm really looking forward to it.
Tickets are selling well (I wasn't over-exaggerating when I told all my colleagues they were selling like 'hot cakes' - I don't know about your oven but I can only make about 10 at a time in mine ;-))
Base Camp Jigsaw is also going well. I've now completed the bottom row thanks to some kind neighbours, friends and local Portobello businesses.
So that only leaves training...does obsessive watching of The Wire count in any way at all?
