I’ve seen some people on Twitter saying all over 50’s people are bitter because they had such a hard time of things …?what ? We had a great time. We had the 60’s and. 70’s and know how great things can be - it weren’t all doom and gloom loves we had flower power and punk x
A few people have asked me if they can watch my short film Linda starring

Loved Elton John . Saw that gold suit he was wearing last week in TKmax Preston it was a bargain but I thought the elastic in the waistband looked on the flimsy side for stage wear - I was correctomundo he had to keep hitching his trousers up -you get what you pay for x

On returning to filming bbc doctors . Struck by the diversity of the stories and the wide range of characters . Particularly struck by the amount of work for older actors as well as first jobs for young actors straight out of drama school

Self employed people pay their taxes -their annual average earnings are known to the Tax office -give them 80% of their income .I think that seems right .

It’s international women’s day . A day to reflect on how inequality still exists across the World . Equal pay - equal rights matter . For ourselves - our mothers - sisters - wives-aunties - neighbours - partners -friends -work colleagues .

Thrilled that
@Womenandtheatre
“ The Saving of Moseley Rd baths “ has completely sold out . Great performance and discussion last night about how communities can protect public assets and green spaces . Very important! Xxxx
What does our prime minister think he is doing saying “to escape domestic abuse “ how simple does he think it is to do this ..... I am afraid this has made me cry .... .......

Talking to Vera over the fence - difficult to tell what she was saying as she’s fashioned a makeshift mask out of a panty liner a couple of staples and two hair boobles -but the gyst of it seemed to be she now regrets getting rid of her milkman in the early 70’s .i kept mine x
Introducing ‘Linda’, my new short film starring

Morning kids - I think a lot of people are feeling over whelmed again with it all in one way or another . I said to Vera” Wash your face and give your front gate another coat of gloss” xxxx
Covid wise theatre ( still spaced out masked audiences ) has been treated differently to sports ( close quarters unmasked) -was just wondering if it’s anything to do with the power of the gaming industry - you can’t make bets on the results of theatre - what do you think ? Xx
i’ve thought about it and i reckon we’ve all got to be smarter ,kinder , funnier and more loving to combat the fact that the favourite to be our new Prime Minister seems to have no moral compass
#ToryLeadership
I have woken up thinking what day is it ? All the days are the same . Who fancies a Saturday night out in so we can have a Sunday morning ? X I am thinking of doing another Barbara nice piggin lockin - whose up fir it ? X

what the heck’s going on ? if Boris pigging Johnson becomes the Prime Minister of this country then that’s the end of decency -the moral compass will have been thrown over board and we will be lost kids .....

Incredible incredible moment last night as people were asked to come on stage if they thought they were wearing the biggest bargain, and then the audience would decide who the winner was.
First woman revealed a prosthetic leg, told the room she got it free on the NHS. She won.
Happy international women’s day to mothers, sisters , aunties , grandmas , cousins , neighbours , friends and work colleagues everywhere . Equality of opportunity for everyone benefits everyone .
