Tech Day in Nova Scotia

We are all having a great time. We have all made such good friends with the amazing people of Nova Scotia....who have to be the most generous on the planet. We went looking for a liquor store today.....no tescos here....to buy some beer for our hosts....and were walking in, what we thought, was the correct direction. We were wrong - and Vic asked an off duty fireman the way....he told us that it was about two miles out of town - and then promptly offered to take the 4 of us there. We were amazed to find that he waited for us - and took us back to where we came from -----amazing!! You don't get that in Cwmtillery!

Last night was the opening ceremony and the parade of flags - lead by Vic holding our flag. We entered the theatre singing the Welsh anthem - we were very proud and sang our hearts out for Wales - twice (extra chorus that we werent expecting). They had the RCMP there - or the Mounties and Shelley was very taken with them both.....we will have a job getting her home!! Shelley, Peta and Joan all wore the wonderful Welsh outfits and the men all wore the special shirts - we really made an effort, which was noticed by all the audience and participants alike!

Today was tech and later is the first international performance of 'Sheep'. It went really well and Nye worked wonders - as usual....some of the visuals even stunned me. All the gang are a little nervous, we are told that the theatre is really full tonight - about 400 there, but they are all really looking forward to giving the best performance possible.

Am hoping to upload some rehearsal footage to the website later - so that all can see our Sheep rehearsal from yesterday at the Curling Club. We are really looking forward to it - be great to get it done and then on to the schools tomorrow...for more mirth and merriment!

See ya later
