Shrouded City

Cloudy Perth

One of the things I like about commuting (rather than driving) to work is the feeling that I am part of something bigger.

Yesterday for example, looking  up as I walked up the ramp from the station I was struck by this image of my city shrouded in low lying cloud.

It doesn’t happen often.

Even today, when it was raining, the city was free and clear.

If I had driven in, chances are I wouldn’t have noticed.

I love over-hearing other people’s conversations as well.

Getting an insight into their lives and sometimes into mine.

The other day on the way home I heard two young executive types discussing the various talk radio shows in Perth.

So weird hearing strangers talking about people you know.

(and even funnier when you agree with their astute assessment!)

Amazing what comes through on the radio – you can’t hide!

Apart from commuting the other thing that has made me feel part of something bigger is Theatresports. (can’t wait for the spring season)

The little community that has built around it is lovely – I am having coffee (separately) with two friends from the group this week alone.

The http://foea.org/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/FEA-Newsletter-Feb.-2010.pdf cialis 40 mg Vibrating ring has manually controllable speed looking for necessary level of vibration. Authorized Australian cialis cheap india pharmacies online would offer genuine drugs at reasonably discounted price. Impotence and cheap levitra india erectile dysfunction are two different terms with the same meaning. For different cipla tadalafil 10mg people trying to quit it different approaches work like some can simply decide a date and quit it. And Theatresports of course has led to Groover’s Acting Debut – this Thursday at the Midland Junction Arts Centre.

Supporting Arsenic and Old Lace has led us to go to other productions that our fellow theatresporters are in which is why you found us at the Limelight Theatre in Wanneroo last Saturday night.

I was impressed with the full house and committed community theatre going public.

It’s a whole world I haven’t explored (despite reporting on it years ago on radio).

We saw Chess, complete with a live band.

It is not an easy musical, and I’ve been singing the songs all week.

Badly I’m sad to say.

For the last few years I’ve been privileged to be invited to a number of professional theatre productions, ironic then that the first production in a while that I should pay for is amateur theatre!

But bring it on.

I’ve seen first hand how hard everyone works to get these productions up – with no pay.

They deserve to be supported.

And hey – they are one of the few public places I’ve been to which supplies nice quilted SOFT loo paper.

Which just makes the experience all the better.

  1. Aaaah, there’s nothing quite as nice as SOFT loo paper. I remember, way back when…. oh wait; that’s a story I can write on my blog….

    Community theatre is a wonderful thing. I got free tickets to a community production of Les Miserables here in Adelaide, almost ten years ago now. I’ll never forget the performance. There was some real talent there.

  2. I hope the “dark teatime of the soul” is well and truly behind you (but what a fabulous expression!). It’s been ages since we went to some community theatre but I’m feeling very enthused after reading this. Especially if there is Cottonelle.

  3. Tragic that we should base our theatre experiences on whether or not the loo paper is quilted…

    or maybe not.

    🙂

    I might have to ask the question when I book through BOCS… excuse me but what can you tell me about the toilet paper…
