Deep Breaths

Lights, camera, action!

Tonight was our Youth Easter Drama presentation so John and I spent most of this morning and afternoon preparing a few last minute additions. The play itself was written by one of my girls but the presentation was organised by our church and the Evangelical church. This past year our two youth groups have been meeting regularly and have become great friends and seeing them work together on this has been a real treat. We are both very proud of them. I was very glad that John arrived in time to help and be part of this event because I couldn't have done it without him.

So how did it go? Well, pretty well! By that I mean, everyone turned up in time for the performance, no body was injured or murdered in the last minute technical emergencies, the electricity only cut out during the practise but worked fine later AND we still have a job! I'm convinced that I felt a few new wrinkles pop up and I'm sure if I look in the mirror I will discover a new patch of grey hair but otherwise we were very pleased! John unfortunately got to see last-minute-late Greeks at their best. I'm sure many of our readers in the UK know exactly how that plays out! All in all though we heard positive comments and I think it was the first time the people in Cyprus had ever experienced an Easter production like it. We mixed music, images, film clips and live action to try and transport the people back in time. The kids acting was really superb and I think they left feeling very pleased about the evening overall.

We would like to inform our commenters that due to certain complaints, we have unlocked the blog so that you can now make anonymous remarks wihout having to be a member. Therefore, those of you (in England especially...nudge nudge wink wink!) who have tried making comments and had trouble, have another go!

Now for some very sad news. Tomorrow, being Easter Sunday, means that we will be gone the whole day and wont have time to post a blog.....that's very sweet but please stop crying...no seriously please stop...you'll set me off. We hate to cause so many of you such terrible grief (particularly as it's John's turn again tomorrow!) but it is unavoidable. We are going to a place called Governor's Beach to eat at a Fish Tavern overlooking the mediterranean sea with my family. Then we will be going to Limassol (another seaside town) to erm....walk by the sea some more! (before you ask...of course I'm taking sun block for John! bless his little pale genes!) We hope that you will not miss us too much and as a peace offering we will try to remember and take pictures of the ...erm...sea!
