Walking at last!

Thought you might all like to know that (as well as being exceedingly cute), Sarah is now just starting to walk unaided, so my back may get some relief from all the bending over!!

See you all soon.

Bumble.

PS. Long-time, no blog (been busy preparing for house move, moving, and then sorting-out the resulting chaos!! Anyone else out there in the BHOS 'blogosphere'?

"David Blunket, The Musical"

Yes, this is real!

Flashmob Opera

Did anyone else see "Flashmob Opera" on BBC3 last week?

For those of you who didn't, it was an hour-ong 'opera' based on Faust, but using well-known songs from a variety of operas. For those of you who don't know what a "flashmob" is, it's a spontaneous gathering of people arranged via a method such as e-mail or text to do a particular thing, e.g. meet at Brighton pier wearing something orange!

In the case of Flashmob Opera, there was a mixture of 'regular' people such as one of the BBC's orchestras, and a number of 'flashmobbers' doing some of the dancing and singing. It was broadcast live from a big shopping centre during late-night shopping.

Is this a great new way of bringing performing arts to the masses or just the BBC jumping on a popular bandwaggon and devaluing it (and opera) in the process?

Company in May

As I'm sure some of you are aware Hands On Theatre are putting on a production of the Sondheim musical "Company" from Thursday 12th - Saturday 14th May in Hurstpierpoint. For those of you that weren't aware of it, you are now! Here's a link to the poster with the relevant details.

Hope everyone's well.

TTFN,

Sorry guys - I seem to have less time to do things like blogging these days!

(Also in the process of switching to new computer - old one runs Windows 95!! - and new ISP which hasn't helped.)

Still, thought you might like to see a more recent photo of Sarah - her big smiles have now been supplemented by lots of chatting... like mother, like daughter!!!

That aside, what news of "Oliver!"? Any amusing tales to tell from rehearsals?

"Blackpool" on BBC1

Anyone got any thoughts on the BBC's current drama series "Blackpool" (Thursday evenings)?

www.bbc.co.uk/drama/blackpool/

Is it an innovative musical drama for the TV era, or just pants?

Greetings all,

I've finally made it on here (and a very fun place it seems!) and just thought I'd make my first full post an announcement to say that I've finally got around to putting some of our wedding photos on the web (it's only taken me three months :o\ ).

Anyway, they can be viewed at:

Unfortunately they seem to have gone into reverse order in the process of uploading them to the site so you may want to start on page 2 and work back.

Hope this works (*crossing fingers*)

TTFN,

Rob

Happy Family!

Exceedingly cute - but then I'm biased!!
