The fat lady has sung...

the show is over.

They've played the last bars and sung their last encore. The applause has died down and the theatre has been packed up.

The costumes have been put away, maybe to be reincarnated for next years show. I have watched costumes take on a new role for over 10 years now. Even this year the cape 'Belle' wore this year was one 'Sophie' wore in The Chrysalids in '99.

Hayley didn't quite make it through the whole show, having to have a quick breakaway when she wasn't feeling well. (She hadn't been out partying or anything, after a crook neck she now has a sore throat).

Next weekend I'm hoping for good weather as I relay for life. (More on that later)
