That reminds me of that spitting image sketch of Maggie Thatcher having dinner with her cabinet. She orders steak and the waiter says “what about the vegetables?”

”Oh, they’ll have the same!”

Turin is lovely and criminally underrated I think. We couldn't get in to the fiat factory but the car museum was great.

Reading my posts about the Handsome Bastard you could be forgiven for thinking I'm in a Pit Of Gloom.

I'm not though!

On Wednesday I was at an arts event that really lifted me.  I'm part of a writing group that meets on a Thursday at an arts centre in town  The theatre group that runs the centre dragged us into one of their projects a while ago, and it's resulted in some fun, purposeful sessions.  The whole project is designed to run for about two years, and will celebrate local life and local history.  Part of the  project involves us writing some short plays, five-minute sketches if you like, inspired by local life past and present.

So, Wednesday was a free public performance, first of several over the length of the project, and one of my plays made the cut.  The theatre group hired in some professional actors to perform our words, which was a treat in itself.  After the show I was talking with the cast, and one is particularly interested in the sitcom I'm working on; I can see him in one of the parts.  Some members of the audience filtered through on their way out, and told me Chip Shop Girls was their favourite of the pieces they'd seen.  Chip Shop Girls was/is my work.  I'm flying.

In my case eating octopus it is a guilty pleasure as they are very intelligent creatures but also very tasty.

The thought of eating an octopus makes me want to puke so we are different.

New work life. A break from the city is well worth the pay cut.

There are some really delicious octopus dishes. A lot of great Japanese cuisine uses octopus
