Went to see the house again and spent yesterday stressed the hell out as it sunk in exactly how much work needs doing to the place - our original plan of attacking it as a whole and painting everything white ain't gonna wash as we have finally clocked that the whole place is covered from head to toe in anaglypta wallpaper. Gee, that's gonna be fun to get off the walls. The place is also smaller than I remembered it - which is normal, but I was already picturing it as quite small to begin. Whilst buying a house may sound impressive, it is indeed a small house . However, that has passed and today I'm giddy and excited again. So yeah - we're gonna have to do it room by room and live out of boxes for a while. But we can totally transform this place and make it utterly our own - yes it will take a great deal of time, but the end result has the potential to be very satisfying. We're crossing our fingers for some pretty floorboards beneath the floral carpet, as that's far easier (and cheaper) than fitting new carpets throughout.
Slowly coming down after the excitement of Sydney. Keeping Annabelle is get another outing soon by some student friends of the Hilton at ArtsEd - apparently it's going down rather well, and this time I get to actually watch it. Along with agents - who admittedly are there to look for acting talent, but you never know!
Right, back to work with me!
PS. It's my birthday next week - wooooooooooooooo! 27 hurrah!

The fascists over at Blogger have now forced me to switch to Beta-Blogger. So much for free will. Bastards.
Anyway, it happier news. The Short and Sweet final took place on Friday night in Sydney. Spent the day keeping an eye on the websites - went on the aussietheatre website to read that the awards had mostly been swept by a play called Almost - a 9/11 orientated piece which sounded very good (I literally have no concept of the quality of the other plays - or even mine for that matter!). But the good news was that the actress in my play won the Best Actress award! So I left with a little deflation at having not won every prize there was to win ;) but very pleased that the show as a whole had come away with a prize. Later, however, after a prompted look at the Short and Sweet website, I discovered that I'd won the Best Script Runner Up prize. After some giddy bouncing around I now contemplate my future as an award-winning playwright. (Yes, I am aware that is a stretch but I'm clinging on to it forever!!!). Second place out of 1200 scripts certainly ain't bad - it's just a shame I can probably never thank my director and actors in person. I just hope they've enjoyed the whole thing as much as I have from half way around the world.

More news on the final for Short and Sweet in Sydney here. Apparently I'm in town for the event. I'm not sure where the hell that idea came from. Neither am I sure whether to correct them or not - does it make me look lame that they're claiming I'm willing to fly to the other side of the world to watch ten minutes of my work performed? Or instead does it make me sound jet-setting and faaaabulous? May well write to correct the spelling though. *sighs at the fact my name is NEVER spelled correctly*
