I’ve been to panto today… I just love the feeling of the city bustling just before the performance and people gathering in front of the theatre Scarves and gloves are shielding us all from the cold. It’s been dark since 4pm and everyone’s been waiting for tonight! As you might have realised I’m not talking about Malta here.
I’m in Edinburgh at the moment, having some (well-deserved) rest! The weather is pretty cold, but it’s nothing one can’t bear. I’m still waiting for the snow but I’m keeping my fingers crossed that we’ll get some next Saturday! This is the place to get into the Christmas spirit. The place is covered in fairy lights (and classy ones unlike the flashy stuff we soooo like in Malta) and some incredible decorations. Now I’ll just have to wait for Santa…
The panto (Robinson Crusoe at the King’s Theatre) was amazing The theatre was homely, with amazing decorations, good lighting and was a great venue for the performance. Robinson Crusoe was great…the dancing, singing, acting, the costumes, the jokes - simply great! They also featured Susan Boyle (no, not the real one…this one was funnier!) so the panto was complete. I always enjoyed panto performances, but I never watched one abroad… when returning to Malta, I plan to go watch our own version, taking the mickey out of all our TV presenters and, more-importantly, the politicians.
Someone must have read my blog last night or this morning…I finally received what I’ve been waiting for! Now my outfit is complete and I can sleep at night wiiiiiiiii
So dear postman (or whoever it may have been for that matter), thank you for bringing me this blessed package which I now embrace. You have made me a happier man today! And for all those readers who left me comments about the previous blog, asking ‘how extravagant is this thing if you can’t even wear it out clubbing?’, I’ll just say ‘Come to the BMAs and you’ll understand’.
Preparations for the BMAs are well under way… Everyone is prepared to go on stage next Friday for the rehearsal - the routine is well rehearsed, my backstage team are eager to work, and everything is ready - well everything except maybe my outfit…part of it is still in transit somewhere on Earth. To avoid any inconveniences, I prepared another outfit just in case the one I ordered online wouldn’t arrive. Most probably I’ll have to go with the backup plan! I’m praying that somehow I’ll get my order by next Friday - so dear reader, if you work at Maltapost and you see my name on a package… do not panic - just give it to the next *emergency* postman and tell him/her to deliver it urgently!
For those who are thinking that I ordered this thing a week ago, think again. It’s been over a month that I have had this order shipped, and now I’ve become desperate to receive it! I’ll be quite disappointed if I don’t receive it, since it is pretty useless if I get it after the awards ceremony - it’s not exactly something I’ll wear to a club any day.
Enough ranting…I will be giving an amazing performance next Saturday, with or without this thing hehe. Today I rediscovered an old hobby of mine, which a friend of mine and myself used to practice very often: singing in the car, and finding all the second voices to a song. When the song finishes, we usually start arguing from which album and the year in which it was released, and who made the best cover out of it. I just love it! My friend is a music guru who I gladly look up to, and has shown me that no matter how much time passes, true friendship never dies. And I’m thankful.
