8th January 2000
Playhouse, Perth
The "Vodka" Night

This was our second visit to Perth, a year and a day since the first, and again it was a chilly January night in the gloomy aftermath of the new year.

A certain cast member (no pointing elbows) brought a bottle of vodka on the minibus and by the time we reached the cinema it had been finished, by my reckoning by only 4 or 5 individuals (NOT myself!)

On arrival at Perth there was a trip to the chippy and a licensed grocer's for ciggies, which resulted in another bottle being bought - and finished - before the show.

By some miracle, there was only one sprained ankle. Never, ever, EVER drink before the show, kids....

(Ironically, this was where Martin and I did our one and only preshow to "Goodness Gracious Me", a song about a doctor and patient...)

A rather pretty card in the "Partick Thistle" vein this one. I like the V-neck collar and the starburst. The plain black cloak with the Greek Thomson edging is nice too.

The facial expression is, I think, one of knowing smugness, probably because it was not Jack who drank a litre and a half of vodka, stubbed their toe on an inch high step wearing fairly flat shoes and managed to sprain an ankle!

Another beautiful "lollo rosso" leafy back, with the pretty butterfly in the middle. Sorry it's a bit squint. Must have been the booze doing the scanning.
