Well I'm having a night in with a dvd, trying to recover a bit from last night.........was out on a work's night out with wine flowing a plenty in the office then onward for some bowling, we of course were the weakest team on paper and would you believe it!!!!! We actually Won - the rest have never lived it down especially when there were 3 women in our team and the rest were mostly blokes well known for their bowling skills (some even own their own Golden shoes) ahh well just shows you eh...we've made sure they've heard all about it today 
Still it was a pretty late night with having to be at work for an 8am start again this morning, needless to say a few of us in the office were looking a bit rough
Hope you enjoy your night out Tess, have fun

That has to be one the most unusual small community theatres I've ever seen, the locale looks idyllic. Shame there were no pics of the interior though.TessB said:
How was the play by the way?

It was great!!! Definitely worth the trip. I was so surprised at the acting ability of my friend, who has really improved his skill from just the last performance we saw. And the other actors were also very believable. Half of the actors were in their senior years and were a delight to watch.
The play itself was hysterical. Much better night of entertainment than what we had been prepared for.
That part of Florida, Sarasota, Bradenton, Venice, Anna Maria Island included, is VERY active in the arts. So, theaters such as The Island Players are not unusual. They are small.... maybe holding 200 people at the most. But they have a great backing, mostly of seniors who enjoy live theater.
In fact, when you go out anywhere in that area, unless it's a nightclub..... you'll likely find yourself to be of the youngest people in the crowd. Largely a retirement community. I spent many of my young years in Sarasota and had gotten used to the demographics. When my husband and I took our first vacation to South Carolina, we stopped for lunch at a nice eatery... walked in, and culture shock set in. You would have thought we had stumbled onto the set of Logan's Run! "Where are all the old people?!?!?" we thought. LOL.... like I said, we had gotten very used to it.

Wow - Col's gonna be well chuffed that he's got a whole thread dedicated to him.
... and SaraMegan ... didn't know you were back. Good to see you.
Well - Col had his 2 weeks away motorbiking around Spain but unfortunately returned with a chest infection, and to his wife Mary having fallen and broken her ankle. He was signed off for 4 weeks to help deal with the situation as Mary is still in hospital in Bristol. He's having a bit of a tough time flitting backward and forward between Colchester and Bristol, and know that he would really appreciate your good wishes.
Re holiday in UK - it differs between companies, but for the NHS, you get 27 days for up to 5 years service; 29 for 5-10 years; 33 days for 10+ years. Management have a whole different system and get 33+ days. It's only just gone up due to something called Agenda for Change (please don't ask me to explain!!) - it used to be 22/25/27 days.

We're glad Col's ok, we hope they both get better soon
We do of course miss his unique insight and posts regarding worldly affairs here at the moment.
Get well soon and stop choking on those fags

I'm really surprised that this didn't draw a wry response from anyone.
