Well today was wierd....I left poor Alex alone to finish painting our newly refurbished bathroom - it looks like a cross between an abbatior and a swiss mental institute (more on this at a later date)and drove to London in the Volvo. It drove like a dream but unfortunately got all dirty in the torrential rain(arghhh!). Anyway I made my way to the old naval college in Greenwhich, where a big marquee had been erected in the grounds. Once inside this huge tent, a gay man, several lesbians and assorted wierdos made me take all my clothes off..........and dress like an 18th century peasant! OK prehaps I should explain. One of my other jobs is working in the film & T.V industry as a supporting artiste/extra. My London agency,maddog casting, decided to put me forward for a part as an 18th century market stallholder, in a film called The Duchess.The fact that my agent thinks I look like a revolting peasant doesnt do wonders for my self esteem but I should get 3 days work. The film stars Kiera Knightly and Ralph Fiennes and and the scene Im doing starts shooting Sunday. I must admit when the costume dept (who where very nice actually) had finished with me, I did look authentic (better than the halfwit in the picture!). Although its strictly against the rules I will try to post a piccy when I do the film.

Really?! In Cyprus an artiste is the euphemistic way to refer to a young woman, usually of Eastern European or Russian stock who -- among other gyrations which I am not sure you want mentioned in your blog -- gyrates in a dimly lit 'cabaret' around a dance pole in a thong. You do live a random life! Am looking forward to hearing about other jobs... --chickie kle
