You are cordially invited to attend a feast.

Welcome to my blog. Nice to see you and I hope you're well. I'm fine and dandy, just a tad bit frazzled, but thanks for asking.

As you may have guessed from an earlier blog, I'm one of the six Sussex playwrights whose work is being performed this Saturday as part of Adur Arts Live '09. Preparations are reaching fever pitch, so before I head back down the tunnel, I wanted to send you an invitation.

Just because this is a blog, doesn't mean standards have to slip, so just image that it's been delivered to you on a silver platter by a liveried footman. You give him the once over, open the invitation and read with breathless excitement;

"You are cordially invited to attend a lunchtime feast of comedy and drama at the Shoreham Methodist Church on Saturday 17th October 2009 at 12.00pm."

You call for pen and paper and reply immediately.

"Thank you for inviting me to attend a lunchtime feast of comedy and drama at the Shoreham Methodist Church on Saturday 17th October 2009 at 12.00pm. I will be delighted to attend.

PS Can I bring a packed-lunch?"

Right, pit helmet back on, light on and down I go.

Hope you have a wonderful week and fingers crossed you can come on Saturday. If you're seized with hunger pangs, I've got a small packet of raisins I can dust off and pass around.

See you next Monday.
