The Lost Balloon Thursday 6th of November 10:30 am 2025

 Hello again, readers!

This adventure finds us on one mammoth day out of the house. Firstly, Wiesia and I left the house around 8 o'clock to pick up Sofia by 8:30am. And we made our way to Brisbane for the first, but not the last, performance of the day. 

So, first, we found ourselves at the Redland Performing Arts Centre, where I was elated to learn we could get tickets to The Lost Balloon. It was a masked theatre performance, meaning there were no spoken words. Everything was done through movement, and it was very uplifting to watch. Another reason I went to see The Lost Balloon was that our Blue Roo director, Clint Bolster, was performing in it, and I wanted to support him in some small way. I was actually amazed that I could still get tickets, considering how late in the game I purchased them. In any case, I was so excited to get my hands on tickets, and once I did, I knew it was going to be a hectic day. Unfortunately, I didn't get to catch a glimpse of Clint before or after the performance, so I couldn't say "Congratulations on a job well done." It was a rather unique performance because I couldn't tell who was who until the end, when they took off all their beautiful masks. Following this performance, I had to do Blue Roo rehearsals before going to Ricky Martin's concert, which I will describe in another blog. 

Until next time, my Readers!!

I'll write another blog on the subjects mentioned above soon. So keep an eye out for them :) 


Hopefully, The Lost Balloon won't take me to the moon.

Blue Roo's Laughing Out Loud Friday the 13th & 14th June 2025

Image
 Laughing Out Loud was a bit of a different experience for me because there were no script involved.  So basically, the show was made up of different acts involving a lot of improvisations. Overall, the show went for about an hour in length but getting to that polished hour of improvisations was a task to behold. It was a challenging because to me, the cast was a geat group of individuals - which I will give a shout out to later- but it seems to me that we had different levels of improvisation experience. So for some of the cast, it took a longer amount of time to perfect a scene - which is not always a bad thing, especially when it comes to improvisations, as they are meant to be as spontaneous as possible. I certainly did it to the best of my ability but I wouldn't say my performance was flawless.  In this performance I think a shout out should go to Oliwia Suchocki for a very outstanding and memorable performance across the whole weekend! Through my eyes she probably d...

Happy 59th Birthday (Angela Valentine)

 Well, well, well! We find ourselves here again. Unbeknownst to most people, it's been three years since I wrote a blog on your actual birthday. Actually, this one is two days late, but 😺 I am so jealous of John's holiday with you in New Zealand. It's a holiday that I have always dreamed of. I hope you enjoyed your day in Wanaka. Now, we get to the fun part. As for me, I have been busy writing Angela and Murray story and sequels - which are as follows: What happened to Kathryn. Physically Windy Cindy.  Shopping Shannon. Angela, the legendary carer. Murray the master electrician.  I'm unsure in what order the final two will be, but I know I will complete the first three in that order. The other funny thing is I did not see this series would be so big. At first, I was only really thinking of you and Murray, but then, I felt I had to find a way to include Kathryn , Cindy and Shannon; otherwise, I would have felt very greedy keeping you all to myself. But, alas, this is ...

Sydney 2025

Image
 Our Sydney Adventure started on June 20, 2025, and finished on June 24, 2025. Over these four days, I was fortunate enough to spend time at SupaNova in Sydney. I was lucky enough to be graced with the presence of Travis Willingham, which, believe me, I was very grateful for. This experience had been a long time coming, as I had been waiting a mammoth 15 years to meet Travis.  Aside from meeting Travis at SupeNova, I didn't purchase many items. I only bought myself a red Minnie Mouse, which these days is tough to come by. Other than this, at SupaNova itself, I also bought food. I was lucky enough to spend my holiday with the lovely Sofia Martinez and the mighty Julia Marr. Now, of course, we have been friends as well as co-workers, and sometimes when I go on holiday, it's a very fine line to balance on. However, 80% of this interaction is positive, and 20% of the time, it usually involves teasing, making jokes, or doing something to someone. But, at the end of the day, Sofia...
