Louie the Fly

My sister and her kids left today for Canberra. The house is suddenly quiet. Quiet and messy. It's been an action-packed, fun-filled 11 days, which I think exhausted all of us. At some stage I may find the energy to blog some bits and pieces. But today I am still mildly whacked from a full and tiring day at our School Fete yesterday in 35 degree heat. So I am just posting a funny sequence of photos (taken by my sister) of the finale of my Tap School's performance at said Fete. The performance went very well despite the heat - luckily we were the first act but even at 10.30am that stage was pretty hot and I all but burnt my hand handling the metal tap-plate on my shoes at the end of the gig. Anyway. Here you can see the Cherub and the Son-of-The-Guy, giving their all as Tapping Flies who have just been sprayed with (pretend) flyspray, with full artistic interpretation of the instruction lie down on your back with your hands and feet in the air and buzz like a dying fly.

    Hahaha! Looks like Louie/Cherub took quite some time to kick the bucket!

    Quite the spaghetti western death, isn't it?

    Haha! I love their theatrics! It looks like they were right into it no matter the weather.

    The very deep bows at the end are rather special. What a bunch of hams.

    Fantastic! What fun they all had! And I love the theatrical bow at the end, too.

    I can remember every word of that ad, all these decades later. Obviously watched far too much tv in the 70s.

    Very dramatic! Their powerful performances brought tears to my eyes!

    Lucky they got better and were able to take their bows.

    Hey Sis - I was so tired when I got home my brain completely disconnected from my body. Yesterday wasn't much better. Today is thankfully a little better. We had such a good time though. Thanx for having us. Hope you find Heath's pumpkin. He cried today because we couldn't find it. They had such a great time. Sorry about the mess. I tried!

    Made cous cous today. Hurrah for you! It worked! Feeling a little bit triumphant. Jessie still behaving herself at the dinner table, and a threat of the naughty room snaps her back from any indescretion pretty quick. Heath settling back in ok too. Little cranky, but ok.

    An Oscar-worthy performance for sure!
