Masque of the Red Death

[westernind]

In case anyone would like to join me (and quondam), I've booked for Masque of the Red Death for Saturday 5th April. Have gone for the 7.15pm tickets, although from the evidence of the last visit, the entry time doesn't make a difference to the experience, it just gets you an extra half an hour of it.

Will be dressing up this time.

Lurgy has gone away, treated with 24 hours of mostly sleeping interspersed with drinking large amounts of water, but threatens to leave the usual post-asthmatic's legacy of the cough that will not die (and sounds as if it'll kill its host). This is No Good At All because there's a concert next Saturday, and now that I sing sop it's a bit harder to disguise.

I've noticed before that talking is what sets off the coughing fits, and then they get rib-bruisingly worse to the point of exhaustion. So, encouraged by Simon, I haven't talked since Friday morning. We have a range of other methods, including notepad and pencil, texting (yes, in the same house), charades, and plain ol' telepathy. Apart from the visit of Dan, Dan, the Garden Man tomorrow lunchtime, I'm hoping to not speak until Monday morning.

I'm coming too. Might have to try and work out some vague semblance of 'dressing up' though. Hmmm, wonder if Helen has any time to help...

you really don't have any LRP kit left? Not even one frock coat?

[kneeshooter]

I've never actually owned a frock coat.

Hang on, this is after Maelstrom 1. I'll borrow something from the kit locker if necessary.

Yey!

Good luck with the talking.

We're coming again. Just booking now.

Just to let you know. The cough I had after the flu in Mayish time was actually a sympton of Chronic Laryngitis. Not talking stopped it completely. So could be a minor respiratory tract infection that's messing with your vocal chords.
