Sailors fighting in the dancehall

Well thankfully things seem to be getting back to something approaching normal, although Chris’ parents are on holiday in Bournemouth this week, so I think we’re going to see them tomorrow and then have them over here one day.

The Murder Weekend went very well. I really enjoyed my character, although went bright red as I had to sit in a room of nearly 50 people and listen to my sex tape being played. Saturday night I had to have a big fight with Becky (my sister on the plot) and we had a good old tussle on the floor, after which I was fighting with the copper who was trying to keep me away from her. I think one of the ex-actors who was a guest on the week-end videoed it as she said something about posting it on You Tube, so if she does I’ll put a link up to it. I know that Maria (another actor who lives in NYC and only comes over for the occasional week-end and who was also a guest on this one) has taken a load of photos and I’m waiting for her to post them on Facebook so that I can grab them. She was having a good laugh and insisting on posing with all of the bodies. Saturday night I was screaming at her and pushing her away from the body on the last death. But it was nice to see people and have someone to talk to! And we had a great bunch of guests. Shame about the hotel. The Wessex in Winchester has gone so badly downhill in the last 5 years or so that it is now appalling. Dinner Saturday night was virtually inedible, and they haven’t heard of customer service.

I came home yesterday to find Jez limping worse than ever. Chris said she’d been subdued while I was away and thought she had been pining for me. So Saturday he took her to Delph Woods where she met her friend Lenny the Lurcher and chased round with him. Consequently her knee was a lot worse. But he feels really guilty about it. She also played up and wouldn’t go in her crate to sleep, so he let her sleep on his bed. Yesterday as soon as I came home she perked up, and she’s been very bouncy morning today. I had ordered some extensions so that we could put her puppy gate across the stairs, and they came this morning, so Chris has put the gate up. We’re hoping that if we can stop her going and down stairs so much it will help the healing process. I’ve now got her on Glucosamine & Condratine plus Green Lipped Mussel capsules to help with her joints. I mix it all up with a bit of peanut butter and flour to get her to take it.

The other thing that we discovered over the week-end is that we’ve been the victims of credit card fraud. Fortunately my card company spotted a couple of big transactions and it’s all been sorted out. They had put through about £1,000 worth of goods on my card though (which the card company will reverse off). I was really pleased with them – the woman in the fraud department I spoke to this morning was really friendly and helpful.

I’m going to leave you with a couple of photos of me that I found on Facebook from the last MW plot we did. The first is the one of me where I’d been suffocated by having a plastic bad put over my head. The second is of me earlier on in that plot where I’d been injured, but not seriously, and had to come down in a dressing gown covered in blood.
