Groover, Theatresports

My thespian

No.  These fellows in the pool are not thespians.

Well… they might be… but more likely they are miners.

I’m in Karratha and that is the pool at the caravan park where I’m staying.

And yes.  I did slip into the water in my bikini.

I stayed up my end though. 🙂

Last night I was in Frenantle at the Victoria Hall on stage.

Yes it was my first Theatresports performance.

Groover was on first and you know what?  He is a natural.

First up he led his team in a children’s television style impro – very funny.

Then they sang a tribute song – a la “We Are The World” – to the audience suggestion of the cause of flatulent children.

“The Wind in You” was fantastic.

I was offstage wetting my pants laughing.

But not for long because then it was my turn to be on stage.

I was lucky to be paired with a seasoned theatresports pro and a drama teacher and they were brilliant.

It was such fun I wanted to keep going.

After the interval we were heading back upstairs for the second half.

Groover had a glass of wine and when we heard a woman say “Excuse me…” we both thought she was going to tell him off for taking it into the theatre.

But no.

She was trying to get his attention to encourage him to audition for Arsenic and Old Lace.

“Can you do accents?”

Can he do accents?  Of course.

How groovy is that!  After only two performances in his life!

We went upstairs to watch the second half – all the really experienced players do the second half and it is awesome – and Groover had such a big grin on his face.

If you live in Perth and want a fun night out – trust me the second half is hilarious – come down to the Victoria Hall – performance starts at 6pm and it is all over by eight.

Meantime I’m in sunny Karrachi (as the locals call it).

I’ve played some social tennis tonight and tomorrow night we’re heading out to Dampier for some Chinese food.

Sounds like a plan to me.

The bus nazi

On Wednesday I caught the bus from Esperance to Kalgoorlie… it was quite the experience.

It’s pretty cheap – only $52 for a five hour ride through the flat brown land into the desert.

The bus was about five minutes late and when the driver pulled up he jumped out, flung open the luggage compartment and started shouting.

“You!  Are you going to Kalgoorlie?  Put your luggage in here now!”

Yes the soup nazi’s cousin was in charge of the bus.

“Make sure you sit in the seat you’ve been allocated!”

“Noone is allowed to sit in the back seat… you hear that kids.”

“Don’t put your feet on the seats!”

My allocated seat was right at the front of the bus and as we drove out of Esperance I overheard him talking to the office in Kalgoorlie.

Apparently he’d picked up the bus to find the television broken and that the back seats had been urinated on.

Ewwww.

No wonder he was a little grumpy, I actually started feeling a bit sorry for him.

After all he was trying to do his best.

I spent a lot of the first part of the journey on the phone – hey – I was working and when we got to the first stop he turned to me and said:  “Are you going to be on that phone the whole way?  Well move back then.”

I moved back.

He was a short man with a loud voice, I wasn’t going to argue.

The bus was pretty empty and there was lots of choice.

When we got to Norseman I got myself a coffee and shared a picnic table with a truckie called Jeff.

He was heading up to visit a prospector mate in Kalgoorlie.

We had a nice chat but soon the bus nazi was agitating for us all to get back on the bus.

I threw the rest of my coffee out and clambered back on.

All in all the journey was quite good.

The seats comfortable (even if some of them urine soaked) and with spare seats abounding, plenty of room to spread out.

The movies were woeful.

Still if you’ve got a good book and a phone – no problem.

And if talking on the phone irritates the driver at least it doesn’t interfere with the navigation systems.

Weekend in Esperance

2 Comments

esperance 044

I’m in Esperance.

Esperance is on the south coast of Western Australia – south of Kalgoorlie. 

It is a long way from anyone and not really on the way to anywhere.

But.

It. Is. Beautiful.

People who visit Esperance will tell you how stunning and unspoilt the beaches are.

You’ll hear about Twilight and Salmon beaches and maybe you’ll even hear about Lucky and Hellfire.

They will tell of snow white sand, so fine it feels like cornflour between your toes.

They will tell you of turquoise waters as clear as glass.

Of granite rocks that slope into the sea.

But they will not be able to do justice to the natural beauty of the Bay of Isles.

It is simply magnificent.

And the best bit?

The beaches are deserted.

I’m lucky.

Esperance

Work brings me to Esperance and I have managed to work in a bridge congress over the weekend.

When I got here on Friday I must admit to questioning why I came to the congress.

What was I doing in a room full of strangers – all except two more than ten years older than me??

But once we started playing cards and partying at night I soon got into the swing of it.

We all stayed in the one house – well 13 of us did – and we had a great weekend.

More alcohol than was strictly good for us, great food, convivial company and then early morning walks to bring some of the best coffee I’ve ever tasted back for breakfast.

One morning I even spied the resident seal, under the jetty.

Sammy the Seal

Did I play well?

Did I win any money?

No.

I had fun though I missed Groover’s debut at Theatresports – apparently he rocked!

After the congress finished I caught up with my work colleague who has kindly put me up and we drove out to Cape Le Grand National Park.

Hellfire Beach, Esperance

OMG the beaches!

The sand is so fine and compacted it is like concrete.

In some places where it is softer – it flies around your feet like talcum powder.

The water is oh so cold but as clear as clear can be.

It was windy.

Hellfire Beach, Esperance

My colleague drives a little Daiwoo which she says “runs on the smell of an oily rag”, which I thought was lucky as there we were 70k from Esperance with the fuel tank on empty.

A light will go on when you are really running out won’t it?

Oh yes she says but don’t worry…

So on the way to dinner tonight we run out of fuel and you would have seen me with three or four hefty gals and guys of Esperance pushing said Daiwoo up the hill to the petrol station.

LOL – an interesting end to a long weekend.

I’m in Esperance one more day so tomorrow we’re going to check out the famous Loose Goose restaurant, then Wednesday I’m on a bus to Kalgoorlie!
