Feeling proud tonight

Post by Bootsy »

Ok, i know we tend to keep to cars, watches and Cubist's exploits but....

My (not so) little girl has been into her dancing and performing for a long time and the stage school she attends put her forward for a series of auditions for the touring Oliver production.

They needed 20 for the production and 600 in total were up for the auditions. After 5 stages in front of the panel today she's made it!

There goes plans for any summer holidays and apparently a few trips to Edinburgh for initial rehersals are required but I'm made up for the little cherub and she's getting paid so maybe she can buy her old man a glass or two in the bar at the intervals.

Well done Frankie, I'm a proud Daddy tonight!

Congratulations to the young lady (and doting parents).

Thank goodness she didn't inherit her dad's looks :cyclopsani:
