Hoping for inspiration - and a little bit of squee

The Cochranes are all heading off today to see the wonderful (and incredibly underrated) Gary Wilmot as Billy Flynn in Chicago (the musical, not the city - the furthest we'll travel today is Bournemouth!) I hope it'll give me further inspiration for a rather odd story I have buzzing in my bonce.

And the squee? Lessons in Desire is the second top rated book at All Romance eBooks.

Thank you. I rarely check over there so it was a pleasant surprise.

Well done!
Enjoy the Windy City! Will have lieutenants (or Cambridge dons, whichever you prefer)waiting to ease your jet lag upon your return to Blighty. My memory of Chicago - London overnight is not good!

No, no - the musical, not the city! We're only going as far as Bournemouth. LOL

Hols are next Saturday - Jersey so no jet lag.

ER ... I knew that! Or should have, since you SAID it even! Doh!
Blame the bubbly.
Jersey! Oh, Oh! Will have to read Lessons in Desire again. Say hello to the green lizards for me. or is that the Isle of Wight?
Off to serve vittles.

I have to admit I edited the entry after your comment. :)

Green lizard observing will be on the agenda, assuming ther's enough sunshine to coax them out.

Enjoy the bubbly!

Wench! I've only seen the movie! *pouts* Enjoy the show and congrats on Lessons in Desire!

Thanks, toots! The show was excellent. I forget how lucky we are over here in temrs of the calibre of touring theatre (this was the Jimmy Osmond version, only the Billy Flynn's changed half way through. I wouldn't have gone to see JO, only my beloved GW.)

I'll take your word for it, since I don't know anything about British theatre actors.

that is wonderful squee indeed :)

And I hope you like the show!

Amazing squee. I think I've fainted.

And I did like the show. Very fast paced, very slick. Gary excellent as Billy Flynn and a really good Velma and Roxie.
