Day 363 – Musical mania
Once upon a time someone was silly enough to suggest that I could sing and in my heart this lie has lay heavily. I cannot sing at all and yet I absolutely love to and when a little tipsy la la I have tortured many a taxi driver with my questionable vocals on the way home.
My favourite singing buddy is Ms Anna Clayton of Laughter In The Rain fame. Luckily, this musical theatre genius can sing and most of the time her honey like voice is loud enough to drown out my squawking. To her credit she has never told me to shut up and is very supportive of my after one too many mojitos singing.
When I am not singing in taxis and, the tube (sorry London), there is nothing I like to do more than stick on a CD and sing my heart out. There is something so wonderful about belting out a ballad when you are feeling low and lonely and I can strongly recommend Kelly Clarkson and Celine Dion for blues banishing purposes.
I am currently doing everything in my power to lift myself from misery and today a sing song with the aid of a hairbrush and a mirror fell into the tragic category of things to cheer me up.
Generally I am not a melancholy person and with the aid of Glee, a bit of Gwen Stefani and some Pink I started to feel again a little like me.

I hope you don’t mind me saying and aren’t offended, but you are completely delicious.
