First Night - Crash!

Opening night of WestEnders started with a bang - literally. I walked on stage carrying my tray of fruit and placed it exactly where I had on dress rehearsal and suddenly - CRASH! - the whole barrow tipped forward and spilled fruit and flowers all over the stage! What a disaster. We carried on as true professionals and during the first scene the people in the market rectified the mess!! Apart from that the night was a great success!!
Bike wise, I travelled along a re-surfaced road this morning (where the council thinks it's a good idea to throw small chippings onto wet tar) where signs clearly warned 20mph was the recommended speed and yet despite the fact that I was doing that 20mph all the cars still thought it a good idea to speed past and cover me with chippings. If not for my cycle glasses I'd probably be blind now!!

1,137.82 to go!!!!
