Today Mrs. Colwyn Buckland came over to tea and to meet our new cat. Did we mention she is thinking of running for the local council?

This is what we do. 79 cent picnics

I had this song in my head for a couple of days. It wouldn't go away. I realised over those days the words of the song were distorting themselves in my head according to how I was feeling, like some weird game of mental scrabble. So then I thought it would be fun to invent characters and sing the song in my head through them:

(A play on words? Cole Porter)

I get a kick every time I see you standing there before me,
I get a kick though its clear to me, you obviously, abhor me...

You get a kick in a plane
Flying too high with some guy in the sky
Is my idea of ideas too few,
But you get a kick from the view

You get a kick in the inane,
Things I don't get, like you never regret
spending time on things common, but its true
that into myself you imbue

I get a kick every time I see you, standing there before me
I get a kick though its clear to me, you exquisitely, ignore me
But I get a kick out of you

Yes it's 3.44am. And yes, we thought that this would be the best time for our first post. Sleep is for the weak. We are the Theatre of Rats. Surprise! We are seven intrepid beings who all live in the same house. That's right, you heard it, a share house. ouch. And we're a theatre company. And friends, don't forget yasmin J, she lives here too.
Scrap that, here are some accrostic poems.

Colwyn Buckland
Overjoyed by LOST (the TV show),
Loves climbing trees,
Wriggles and shimmies in the most charismatic way imaginable.
Yet, it’s not creepy.
Never mind.



Eric Butler
Reads books, writes plays, builds sets.
Imagination is what he inspires,
Colourful hair is what he possesses.



Bethany Corrigan
Elegant, yet clumsy.
Tantalising, yet scary.
Happy, yet angry.
And
Never ever crap.
Yay!



Lisa Divissi
Intense, smouldering stares follow her, as she lugs her
Sensual sewing machine around.
And she hates games



Andrew Eddey
Never lets the team down,
Drinks Fruity Lexia, not by choice,
Reckons that Albert Camus is the bomb,
Entertains people,
Wherever possible.


Meredith Foster
Eats cabbage,
Rarely silent,
Ever creaking.
Daintily, she plods around with
Ease and elegance.
Teapots bring her much
Happiness. Yes indeed.



Yasmin Keany
Arty art face, oh, to draw
She seldom sleeps, so
Morning is not good
In her head she dreams,
Never is she without sound



Millie Sutherland-Saines
Is studying vet-science at uni, but
Likes to dance and
Likes to act.
In conclusion:
Exquisite.
