Many Happy Returns from me, too; now if it's still on next time you're in London, you could indulge your newly-revealed interest in caterpillars by seeing the current play (Caterpillar) at Theatre 503. |

Happy birthday. I always thought those caterpillar cakes were meant to be the Very Hungry Caterpillar & I've never heard of Colin the Caterpillar. Evidently my caterpillar knowledge is out of date! |

Happy Birthday @emicardiff! Hope you've had a lovely day eating sliced caterpillar.  Does me chasing a sheep out of my garden top your snake...? |

The Antiques Roadshow is being filmed at Media City today. I've heard a rumour that our BurlyBeaR is jumping on a tram later this afternoon with a selection of @theatremonkey's oldest jokes. |

Collapsed drain under house. No functioning shower or bath (the water just comes back up the toilet). No flushing toilet. Two insurance companies arguing the toss over who is responsible for which bit of the claim. I've had better days.

I'm looking forward to the guided "Monkey Watching Walk" next Thursday night. For a mere £1 donation, you'll tell one of your best jokes, won't you @theatremonkey? For a £2 donation, you'll promise not to. |

Spent a fascinating evening on a guided "Bat Watching Walk" in my local park last night. We saw two cricket and a table tennis... no, we didn't, but I had to get the line in before anyone else did. And none from Hell either. Did see 3 species, and learned the three major ideas we all have about bats are totally wrong! First, they can see as well as we can - no "blind as a bat." Second, they hear on totally different frequencies to us, so couldn't care less about the 100 strong crowd who turned out. Third, they don't sleep upside down if they have a choice. All they want is safety, so they hide in crevices where possible, lying any way that fits and protects them. For a mere £1 donation to the local Wildlife Trust, total bargain of a trip . Took my kids on bat walks a couple of times when they were children. Very interesting. |

I was on a way to an important meeting today and I loved how "Work of Art" from Everybody's Talking About Jamie made me feel. I was confidently strutting through town.

Urgh. Bad day in 'the office'. New department, trained over a few months but had last couple of weeks out in a different dept and dropped back in yesterday. Morning went fine and then this afternoon a couple of bits completely fell apart (deliberately being non-specific). The hushed conversations afterwards driving my paranoia and self depreciation into the ground. Know I wont sleep tonight now reliving the situation over and over in my head. Gotta go back and do it all over tomorrow.

Oh, sending good wishes for a peaceful evening Serial Shusher. It's horrible when something goes awry and it plays on your mind. Hope tomorrow is a much better day.

I have pulled something in my back. Either by sitting at a desk, or by sleeping. Annoyingly, I normally have physios 'on tap' who can fix this sort of thing in my day job...but I'm not in until next week. Sonofabitch.

Theatre folks! do me a favour and head over to this FB link and 'like' the picture of my boy Marley so he can be on a calendar. I mean only if you want to. But he is awful cute. http://instagram.com/p/BjQDOaPnqF4 |
