What's it all about, Bloggie?

Note to self: Try & remember not to say to current love interest that you might decide you’re not gay next week. Trust me, however innocent it sounds in your head, in reality it doesn’t sound that way at all.



Today Truly Lovely G is probably listening to: Will Young - Leave Right Now

Today I am mostly listening to: Kirsty MacColl – In These Shoes

If only I wasn’t tone deaf... This audition could have been my big moment. I could have fulfilled my dream. I could have been Maria!



I can’t deny it; it‘s one of my all time favourite films. I have more memories of watching this film as a child than any other film that was around in my childhood. I remember stomping around the house singing along to my parents scratched but much-loved LP. I fondly remember my 10th birthday when the best present of all was to go to the big smoke to see The Sound Of Music live on stage. Petula Clark played Maria, but in my 10 year old mind I couldn’t work out why Julie Andrews wasn’t there. Perhaps she was off sick, because everyone knows that there is only one person who can really be Maria Von Trapp (well, apart from Maria herself).

I may have only been to Sing-a-Long-a-Sound Of Music twice (I even have my very own Nun's outfit), but such is my liking of the film, that I’ve even managed to do The Sound Of Music sightseeing tour around Saltzburg, and how many people can say they’ve done that?! And you know what? It was great! I can’t tell you how much I wanted sing and dance while walking down those familiar streets, but it just wasn’t meant to be. Oh well. Maybe next time.

Today I am lusting after pink fluffy handcuffs.
