Just to show off that I am almost up to date I am using Ariana Grande’s song title for today’s blog!!!

I will write about my various story telling gigs in another blog but today’s story is what happened before one of those gigs.

Late on Monday night I was in the bathroom and I had casually pushed the door back so it slammed closed. When I went to open it the latch had somehow jammed so I was locked in! It was now 11.15. A lot of fumbling on my part was unsuccessful so I had to call for help. Clare tried to open it from her side, and she tried to unscrew the handle but still no good. The clock ticked on. She tried looking on the internet for solutions-she slid a plastic card under the door for me to try. The clock ticked on!

I knew had a busy day ahead of me, storytelling with quite a bit of travelling. So blood pressure was steadily rising! I looked around me for warmth in case I had to spend the night in the bathroom- I realised a foot mat and a hand towel wouldn’t  keep me warm! The clock ticked on and blood pressure continued to rise. Armed with a pair of scissors I busied myself attacking the latch. Eventually I managed to flick the recalcitrant  latch back and red faced with embarrassment I emerged at 12.15 ! Not a good way to prepare for a gig!

Maybe a story will emerge from this in the future!
