EARLY HEADS UP!! Well, its my Birthday on 20th January, and, while its not a 'zero', it IS a '5', so quite significant- and, as I didn't get a party in 2021 due to Lockdown, I've decided to do a Challenge, but still make it party-like! It's all still in the creative stage- but one thing is for sure: there will be a fundraising element :- because a beautiful Actress friend of mine, who, in her early 50s, was diagnosed with MND last November, has now lost her voice and the ability to eat. It's starkly, aggressively, swiftly taking her...and it's shocking. So MND, and Lost Chord, the Music providing charity for people living with Alzheimers and Dementia , will both benefit from this fundraising Challenge. More details as they become clear!! And get ready to join me....!
PLEASE REMEMBER! ALL diary entries, reviews, and reports to Me please by Monday midday- and if anything is lost between the Online column entry and the Newspaper hard copy it will be due to Editor's space allocation NOT by my lax omission. Thanks.
