ACT-1 CINDERELLA, ACTION


Less than two weeks to go till "SAINTS" VIP night. Yes the fixtures fittings and decor are dazzling, yes the chef is chomping at the bit to tantalize our taste buds. Manager's waiting to quench your thirst with their exotic list of cocktails.




Yet the big clean/tidy/dust/ excess grout/rubbish, clear up needs to take place. I will of course be participating, yellow rubber gloves in place, my wheelchair will be strategically placed upstairs where the loos/office/staffroom are (I know my place) organising and participating in the task of getting it spic & span to my/Nats standards.


The staff are being bought in a week early to take part in this presentation task. I think this is a good objective, if they are part of the clearing up strategy, maybe just maybe it will be a level they would like to maintain...


So my lovely friends, if I am absent for a few days from your comments box, please show me some empathy. Think of me as poor Cinderella, with yellow rubber gloves on, toiling and scrubbing to help make Prince Charmings dream come true. (Who at this point looks completely frazzled. Bless) .........


I know I will be more of a vocal control on the actual scrubbing etc (yet you know if I could get down on my knees I'd be there), but I have to share this part of the project, not just the highlights of the VIP nights. So, wish us luck and if you see an odd silver slipper about, send it this way......

DANCING DIVAS....

Have you ever heard a piece of music that's catchy but not particularly that audio explosive. The one I'm bringing to your attention is sort of electro/rock, and unfortunately the video isn't that dynamic either . Yet the rhythm is there, it has that beat, bringing friends to mind, it was easy on the ears, and it got me........ My feet are tapping and flashbacks come to the fore of my mind, my fingers start strumming and I instantly know the words.
I'm dancing on the polished floor and singing the words to my friend, together we are in harmony (to others out of tune). We are living in the moment, worries far away, drowned by the harmony of the song.

Heard a song last week, can't get it out of my head, and for some unknown reason it bought back some wonderful memories of dancing with friends. We could be strutting our stuff on the most stylish of dance floors, or barefoot on a carpeted lounge celebrating the coming New Year........

An open space in a foreign place, beach or poolside the moment was ours. Not the most dynamic of tunes you my think, yet it bought all of these wonderful memories back to me, so its one more to take its place in my archives.
I'm sure you all have heard one out there, that even though its new it brings back the past.
"My dancing Diva" out there (you know who you are) I dedicate this to you!!!



Human - Lyrics

I did my best to notice
When the call came down the line
Up to the platform of surrender

I was brought but I was kind
And sometimes I get nervous
When I see an open door
Close your eyes
Clear your heart...Cut the cord

Are we human?

Or are we dancer?
My sign is vital
My hands are cold
And I'm on my knees
Looking for the answer
Are we human?

Or are we dancer?

Pay my respects to grace and virtue
Send my condolences to good
Give my regards to soul and romance,
They always did the best they could
And so long to devotion
You taught me everything I know
Wave goodbyeWish me well..
You've got to let me go
Are we human?

Or are we dancer?

My sign is vitalMy hands are cold
And I'm on my knees
Looking for the answer
Are we human?

Or are we dancer?
Will your system be alright
When you dream of home tonight?
There is no message we're receiving
Let me know is your heart still beating
Are we human?

Or are we dancer?

My sign is vital
My hands are cold
And I'm on my knees
Looking for the answer
You've got to let me know
Are we human?

Or are we dancer?

My sign is vital
My hands are cold
And I'm on my knees
Looking for the answer
Are we human

Or are we dancer?
Are we human?

Or are we dancer?
Are we human

Or are we dancer?
