Now i am only hours away from drsssing up in an ancient night - shirt, putting on make up and making my hair look as though i have been electrocuted.

The reason? My buggering friend succeeded in recruiting me into an amateur dramatic musical of "Dracula", where i shall play a maniac known as "Boris Renfeild", Who bursts into song at rather inappropriate moments whenever someone mentions the name of a place he's been.

Tomorrow i the first dress rehersal and the show...
