Lest I Forget

Life Skills

I didn’t do any resolutions this year or even run up a sketchy 12 month personal growth plan (as I have in the past). The resolution was not to plan.
I wish though I had gone for ‘enhance life skills’ as that would have been an easy box to tick even before the end of January and I could have surfed on the smug wave for months after.

The first life skill is ability to imitate CGI (okay a real actor's voice)…
I have perfected a verrry good Golum impression.
Actually it’s Golum and Smeagol and comes with a little dialogue that adapts to whatever venue/situation/company I’m in.
Verrry Good as judged by the kids AND Mike Lucas, Artistic Director of Mikron Theatre so don’t argue.

I am now trying to get another life skill under my belt for this month – the ability to Circular Breathe , so I can play the Didgeridoo I got for Christmas. At the moment it just sounds like farty noises.
And I already have that skill.
