The script is out and this year's panto is Peter Pan. Yeah, I like it. I am about to read through the character list and the script so we shall see if there is a suitable part. If there isn't I will be quite happy to do choreography as there are lots of scenes with the Indians, and the pirates and the lost boys where dance comes into it. Then I shall just concentrate on my part of Mavis, the drunken elf, in the Murder Mystery Christmas Dinner that the dinner theatre group is doing at Mar Lodge in early December. The fact that the panto is Peter Pan I take as a sign that I should revisit the children's novel that Sheila and I have half written. When it wasn't eligible for the competition a few years ago (they only wanted published authors)we gave up on it but we shouldn't have as it was a cracking good story, bringing Peter Pan right up to the 21st century. I will dig it out in the next day or two, and maybe publish some of it in this blog for comment.
Made a chocolate cake today! Haven't tried it yet as it is meant to be dessert tomorrow, but if it isn't scrumptious I am NEVER going to bake again. The ingredients cost a fortune, not to mention having to buy an £8.50 cake tin. The time to mix it was quite considerable, then 90 minutes of electricity to bake it. Tomorrow I have to make the gamache (look it up) and that also takes fresh cream, and loads of chocolate. According to the recipe you can get 14 slices and each is over 500 calories. That means 7000 calories in the whole cake! Wow.
