Bad blogger

Bad blogger indeed. Apologies for the total lack of updates. It really is appallingly bad. However, I guess I can say it is down to having some additional temporary work. It is great to be busy, though it is not permanent. The duckpond job didn't happen, unfortunately.

However, having the odd weekday free does allow for pursuit of some additional fun activities: yesterday we went out to Earlswood woods to find geocaches! The first one was so well hidden we didn't succeed in finding it, but managed three more and another after lunch. Geocaches, for the uninitiated, are small, hidden items that you use GPS coordinates to find. On smartphones there are applications that list these hidden items that you then use a map, hints and a compass to locate. Hints yesterday included 'step' and '12 trunk tree'. The one that was 'magnetic' was brilliant: hidden upside down inside a road barrier! Nobody but a geocacher would have any idea it was there. If one gets removed, there's nothing of particular value, and therefore not a huge loss. Good fun.

Friday was The Wizard of Oz at the Crescent Theatre, Saturday was spent planting seedlings in Malvern, and Sunday was a trip to the Electric Cinema to see Untouchable - absolutely great.

Do you know any children aged between 7-16, interested in singing and dancing? If so, they are invited to audition to take part in Queensbridge Musical Theatre Society's performance of The Wizard of Oz at the Solihull Arts Complex theatre between 18-22 June 2013. The date of the audition is Saturday 20 October 2012. For more details, please contact Sabrina Handy on 07917333915 or sjhandy2382@gmail.com. Rehearsals will take place weekly in Kings Heath. 

And now for some more jobhunting - just as tricky as geocaching!
