bits and pieces

Having not blogged for a while there should be lots to catch you up on, but in fact pretty much the same things have been going on. I have been doing my life modelling (fine, but standing in the same position is not easy after a while and it's surprising how your arm or whatever starts shaking). I have also been temping, which has been fine because the people in the office have been laid back and pleasant, which makes all the difference. I've had some interviews and this has helped me focus on what it is I want to do and what I don't want to do. I want, as far as I can, to find something which interests me and that does not include going back to what I purposefully left behind. Although it is tricky when you have to eat, etc.
I spoke to a very nice woman about becoming a volunteer for adults who need help with reading, so that would be good if I can start doing that. The idea is I can see if it suits me and if I really do want to continue working towards becoming a basic skills teacher. If so, I can investigate the course which starts in September. I was contacted by a TEFL school who said they had adult teaching but have offered me teens - not exactly what I was after so we will see.
In other news, the next ALPs production is under way, and this time I am taking a back seat as one of the ensemble, a fruit seller and was recently also given a couple of lines as a servant. So although I will not be needed in many rehearsals it is a way of keeping in touch with it all.
I have been writing a little bit about the churches we visit for Wiltshire Life magazine and hope this could be the start to many more such things. It reminded me how much fun we have going to these places and discovering the delights within. I hope the weather picks up soon so we can start going on Trips again and finding more of them, as there's nothing quite so good, really.
