On opening my front door, I was confronted with a glowing smile and the exclamation "Roooooomy". He threw his arms around me, gave me a huge kiss and demanded to know where the beer lived. He hadn't even crossed the threshold. I have a suspicion that I am going to get on well with actor number 2.
We've already planned a cookery evening, he is coming to see Rough Stuff's band play and we have bought a box of cigarettes for the apartment for emergency purposes.
Most importantly, Roomy loves Herbert. Normally visitors, including close family and friends, peer into his hut nervously wondering if they dare stroke his shell. Not this guy. The hut doors were opened and Herbert was in Roomy's palm before he had taken his coat off. "Aren't you the most beautiful baby?" he cooed. "I am going to christen you The Soldier." If tortoises are able to express their emotions, Herbert's was certainly one of utter shock. The Actor tried to feed him cheese; Roomy is more likely to offer him a Cosmopolitan and a canape.

Just wondering if you're still on the digs list? (Coming to the Lowry in September!) From An Actor
I'm afraid not Minnie. In September, I move to Edinburgh with Rough Stuff. And Herbert, of course!
Thanks for reading the blog - I miss writing it to be honest.
Enjoy The Lowry x
Hi there,
Just wondering - which digs list were you on and how did you get on them? How much rent were you getting? And did people often come up are they more likely to be few and far between? I'm in a bit of a housing nightmare and I'm hoping to do this myself and could do with as much info as possible!!
Cheers
Hi Rachel,
I was on the Royal Exchange digs list - it's simple to get on. Call the stage door and they will put you through to the right person. You can also get on the digs list at the Palace theatre but it costs £5 to do this.
From the week I went on the list I had someone living with me for nine months so it worked for me!
Good luck... and thanks for reading my very outdated blog!
