Sunday fun day!

Hey hey hey! 
Today has been a nice day, rehearsals and family time!
I started off the day at a friends house in Benissa, and then we went to rehearse for the pantomime 'Alice in Wonderland'. It was a good rehearsal and I always feel good when I leave Careline. Then, on my way back to Calpe, I came to my nan and grandads house (and I'm still here!). My nan made me a lovely bacon sarnie while grandad was working with some cables in the house. She said she was going to make one of her famous tortillas for me and my sister to eat, and that was super tasty! After that, we were talking about english meals, because I want to cook a friend of mine a typical english dinner. I decided I am going to make a cottage pie for them, but I didn't know what to make for pudding. I wanted something fairly easy, and I've decided to make a treacle sponge cake! My nan wanted to make sure I made it perfectly, so we had a lesson and made a beautiful treacle sponge cake with custard. Now, my nan is making a Sunday dinner (YAYYYYYYY!) and we're having a little chin wag! All in all, a great Sunday!

Making the treacle sponge cake :)

Why is everything going wrong?!

Hey there!
I was in England over the weekend and I came back on Monday, to days of disaster in my house! When we walked through the door, no lights came on, we'd had a power cut. Not thinking anything of it and just turning the electric back on, we noticed the alarm hadn't gone off. I then thought of the freezers (in my house there are 3 freezers) and I opened them all, to find defrosted food which we then had to throw away, cause it had been there since the electric went off. We then noticed our footprints were all across the house, the front door had been leaking! We sorted everything out, put the washing machine on and went to bed. Then on Tuesday, the wash from the night before was drenched, the washing machine had broken AND I lost my glasses somewhere in the house and I still can't find them! So I am walking round my house and the streets with my prescription SUN glasses on. Yes, SUN GLASSES in winter! On Wednesday I looked for my glasses like mad, but apart from that, nothing happened... Or did it? I woke up this morning (Thursday) with a terrible stomach ache, so I must have eaten something dodgy yesterday! Apart from not being well and not going to school, we have just had a terrible storm, which once again, flooded the kitchen! I am now going to get in the bath and try not to drown myself.
Anyhow, I hope you're having a good week!

My 1st Post!

Hey! So I have decided to write my first post. I am going to be talking about my favourite thing, MUSICAL THEATRE! 

I have been involved in musical theatre (MT) since I was 9. I joined a theatre group called 'Footlights', a Calpe based group that specializes in musicals. When I joined, they were rehearsing for the great british musical 'Oliver!'. I joined the show, and I was a workboy and a part of Fagin's gang in the show. It was a great show, and I really enjoyed it. After that, I left Footlights, because the boys at my school told me it wasn't very boyish (now, I wouldn't care what they say, but back then, what people said meant a lot), and I joined the Calpe Football Team. I was with them 1 year and left, because I hated it. After that I didn't do much, but I did join the swimming team. I enjoyed that very much, but it wasn't for me. In 2012, my mother got a call from the secretary of Footlights, telling her they had made a youth group, Footlights Youth Theatre ( FYT), asking me if I'd be interested to audition for their next show 'Cats'. Honestly, I didn't want to audition, and I wasn't going to. Before I knew it, it was the day of the auditions, and because I was bored at home, I decided to go, and I'm so glad I did! I got the part of Skimbleshanks The Railway Cat, and I was excited for the show. When FYT rehearsals started for 'Cats', Footlights was rehearsing the musical 'Guys and Dolls', and I was asked if I'd like to work backstage. I said yes, and took on the job of moving set and helping with quick changes. It was a great experience. We then performed 'Cats' in February 2013, and it was amazing! We started rehearsing Footlights' next show 'South Pacific' soon after 'Cats', and I got the part of Professor. Before we did 'South Pacific', we had a professional actress from London come to Calpe and do a 'Les Miserables' workshop, which we then put in to a Summer Show. It was really good, and I learnt a lot from it. Before 'South Pacific', FYT decided to put on another musical, 'West Side Story'. I auditioned and got Bernardo. In November 2013, we did 'South Pacific', and that was fun. This year (2014) has got to be my highlighted one in Footlights for sure. I started the year rehearsing 'West Side Story' and we performed it in February. It was an amazing show, and I'm so glad I got to be in it. Footlights then had auditions for their next show 'Half a Sixpence'. I auditioned and got the main part, Arthur Kipps. It was a really big part, and I had to work really hard. After the Half a Sixpence auditions, we had another workshop with the same lady from London, this time based on my favourite musical 'Chicago'. We incluided that in our 2nd Summer Show, which was also great! After the Summer Show, the serious 'Half a Sixpence' rehearsals started. We then did the show in November and it was brilliant! I am still really proud of myself for pulling it off. Since then, I've auditioned for a pantomime with the theatre group 'Careline'. I've been going to Careline's productions ever since I was a kid, so it is amazing that I've been given the chance to be in one of their productions. The pantomime is 'Alice in Wonderland', and I've got the part of Tweedle Dum. I am currently rehearsing that, and I'm really excited to do it in January 2015!

So there you have a sum up of my MT history!
To finish off, I am going to attatch a song about show buisness, because I love the lyrics and I can totally relate to them.
