He's just a guy who can't say no...

I honestly meant to blog, it's just that I didn't have time on Friday and then the days just get away from me...

Anyway, to update...

Thursday, during the day, Wardrobe Mistress, Director Guillotine and I went to a couple of costume places. At the first one, we hit on a bit of luck as they have guns. Not real ones, ones made of wood and are in the vague shape of guns. That should satisfy those fw's I was talking about when I was on stage last week...

As you may know (or not if you didn't read the "All about Devils" series of blogs), there is a body of people who just want to spoil everyone's fun and they really get on my wick. They all work from home (as it's just too risky to go out) and they are making life increasingly more difficult when you want to put on a show (unless your show is about people who stay in one place the entire length of the show - and even then there's risk of DVT isn't there?). Anyway, we had some issues with them in the last show as we wanted to fire a starting pistol (that's right, a starting pistol, not even a gun that fired bullets) but we couldn't. It was a bit of a mare actually, but anyway, I'd better not get started on them, I may not be able to stop...

So we have guns. We also found some frock coats and a couple of dresses for Lucie all at very reasonable rates. At the second place we found a possible look for Mr Lorry (one I particularly liked) and some great wigs for our barristers. So well worth doing.

I also got to finish the flag that I was working on, yes I know I've been going on about them, but I am rather proud of them and they did take a rather long time - but okay I'll shut up about them now.

Thursday evening went quite well, unfortunately we were missing Barsad and Seamstress who were poorly sick, as was one of our Newbie peasants. We also discovered that the Second Revolutionary is actually an aristocrat in disguise, trying to hide from the guillotine, Mr Lorry cant say NO! and Evremonde can be persuaded into all sorts of things if you buy him a pint. I promise I won't say anything else about your pencil case...
