Don't Stop Me Now!



A 'behind the scenes' look at 'Hotel' H (I know,I know - but this is such fun and I have just finished my ECA! I will get back to normal blogging, honest!)

What a scream. Naughty words too. I loved it.
I agree, it is fun I started one last night. I hope to finish it after lights out tonight. It is called 'The Rehearsal'. I shall never get any work done at this rate.

Shhh! Rosie, it's supposed to be a 'G' certificate! Good luck with 'The RehearsaL'... I'd better do some work now!
Maggie Christie said…
That's superb! So funny! Will you be having the premiere of it at Hotel H for your guests?
Chris Stovell said…
You don't think it's a bit subtle, do you, Mags?
That's so funny. I'm now going to catch the other one too!
Brilliant. You deserve time off after all that hard work.
Lane Mathias said…
So funny! And your man is waving his arms around now and become British!

Are you really going to stop now? Really....?:-)
Lane Mathias said…
No, he's not British, but he says Aldi Wrinkle Stop sooo well!:-)
Very funny. Loved it.

I imagine you're feeling good having send off the ECA. I got a terrible mark for my TMA5. I knew it was dire. Still working on ECA.

Cottage Garden, it's best not to encourage me!

Debs, yes - that is my excuse!

Lane, alas that 'British move' thing comes from the poor directions!

Fia, I'm feeling scared now you've told me that.... I haven't had TMA 05 back yet! Eeek!
Calico Kate said…
Great stuff Chris. Can we have some more?

Chris Stovell said…
Kate - truly that is music to my ears!! You'll be sorry!
Pondside said…
Chris - I'm devastated..you don't sound British at all.
I can see that we'll all give up blogging and turn to film making - small, foreign, specialty film making.
Chris Stovell said…
Pondside (sigh) of course I'm British, but I'm ACTING,- can't you tell? I bet Angelina Jolie never has this trouble. (shakes head)
Cait O'Connor said…
I love these Chris, thanks!
I've done my movie, Chris, but how do I get it onto my blog? Please help!

I'm laughing!
Chris Stovell said…
Rosie, I've left instructions in the Common Room for you.

Muddyboots... a scene in the ice cream parlour, perhaps?!

My First Book Signing!

It’s a fine, dry day and there’s an Italian market in the square outside Waterstone’s. Good for a book signing? ‘Bad,’ says Tim. The stalls are blocking the view of the shop and the fine weather’s keeping everyone outdoors. Hmm, that must be why they’ve only put one small poster up for my event, I mean why waste the Blu Tack? Tim demonstrates handing off the marauding hordes After much refolding of a black tablecloth and a rummage around for some books, I’m invited to take up my position at the author table somewhere between ‘fantasy and horror’, children’s books and a poster of the next author, Bobby ‘Iron Duke’ Windsor who’s signing on Monday. Once Tom, Lily, my lovely daughter, and her partner, Russ, are all sure I’m not going to run away, they leave me to it, taking it in turns to make sure I’m all right and bring me tea. Very soon, I notice a small boy watching me. When he returns with his family I learn that he would like to be a writer. His method, he tells me, is to rewr...

A Winter's Tale

Thursday 2 December Feeling confined in her snow-muffled flat, Ma takes a walk up her front path to take the morning air. As she returns a cat jumps over the wall and startles her. She slips on the icy path and lands heavily on her shoulder. When her injury doesn’t spontaneously heal, she eventually gives in and calls her local GP surgery. In the evening a GP visits and summons an ambulance ‘sooner rather than later’. Around 10.30 pm Ma is admitted to her local hospital. X-rays suggest she has a fractured scapula which will require emergency surgery. She is put on a nil by mouth regime that night and transferred to a larger hospital for an emergency operation. However, she’s picked a busy period for her accident so the operation doesn’t take place. Saturday 4 December The operation is rescheduled for this morning, so Ma’s had a second night of nil by mouth. A CT scan shows that Ma’s humerus is broken in four places. Despite her obviously smashed-up arm, which is in a sling and...

Forever Young

Looking at the blurb for my new Lacura WrinkleStop from Aldi, I see that its active ingredient has been ‘proven to help • Reduce forehead wrinkles by 52% • Reduce crow’s feet by 24% • Restrict 82% of wrinkle muscle activity’ That’s quite a claim, isn’t it? Frankly, after years when my face looked like a lunar landscape thanks to the joys of acne, these days I’m just grateful to see a fairly blemish-free skin. Part of me wants to believe that the wonder cream’s making everything looking a bit smoother and tidier, but, hey, there’s also a lot of ‘aqua’ and ‘glycerin’ in the stuff, too. Besides, I could tamper with my skin as much as I like (and I don’t), but I’ve only got to stand next to my beautiful daughters to see the difference. Ma has wonderful skin, so the chances are there are some helpful genes in the mix, but my dad died far too young of cancer, so it’s not all good news. My dad was a carpenter. ‘You can’t get age from a tin, Miss Chris,’ he’d say when rubbing his hands o...
