I'm back! James Brown...... I'm back! James Brown. Get up offa dat thing and dance 'til you feel better!
Yes, gentle reader I'm back from my holiday and it was great!! Well the skiing and the weather and the company was. The food in the chalet was more than a little suspect, but then hey-ho. I skied nearly 300 kilometres in the week. Not bad for an old man.
It was a great holiday, crowned by the moment when I zipped down to a lift and a woman asked me if I was Italian. I had hoped it was the style of my dress and the panache of my skiing, but it might also have been because I pinched her bum!
Bit of racial stereotyping there! ho-hum!
The life of your favourite (a presumption there) Toastmaster could go cosmic if....... I wasn't so busy already. It has broken my heart this week. I have had five good enquiries, three of which are for dates I am already working. I have passed these on to colleagues.
However.......... one of the jobs I am able to do I am really chuffed with. I do quite a lot of work for Sanjay Foods, and I have been asked to Toastmaster at the wedding of the Atul Lakhani's (the boss) niece. I am extremely honoured. I love Asian weddings at the best of times, this one will be really special.
The other wedding is for Adam and Louise. I met them both at the excellent and intimate West Bridgford wedding show. I had a meeting with Adam and his brilliant mum on Monday and it's all systems go. One of the good things is that it is at another new venue, the Cockliffe Hotel
So that's one to look forward to next October.
And now, as they say in all the best blogs, for something completely different.
It is a lot to do with horses indeed, but more to do with horse s**t than anything else.
It was dreadful.
Awful.
Mind-numbing.
Michael Morpurgo admitted than when the book came out it was not a success but the interest was raised by the phenomenal success of the stage show. I wanted to see the show, but after seeing the Spielberg treatment, I have lost interest.
Dear readers if you have a couple of hours plus to spare and it's on.... go to bed instead, or spend time clicking on and off Class In A Coat website to get my count up. Believe me it will be time better spent.
Well gentle reader I will finish now. At the weekend I am working at one of my favourite places, The Old Royal Naval College in Greenwich, braving the impending snow to get there.
Live Long and be Toastmastered
