Talking of which. Is this someone we know?

Ah, just seen it's CANCELLED - but I guess the question still stands...

(rab) Do you really need to ask that?

[rab] Yep, that's us. All things considered, just as well we cancelled (a couple of months back) as only one song is yet complete, and we keep going back to the synopsis and tweaking. Should show up next year in the form of a reading or full production, hopefully. We're devoting tomorrow to completing a 10 minute extract which will be done this year at Theatre 503 in London, then podcast as an audio-format musical.

Good luck. If you do ever come up to Edinburgh be sure to drop me a line so we can catch up over an IPA or something.

[rab] Coincidentally, I'll be teaching a course on the IPA next semester.

What do all the little squares mean?

(rab, Néa) Isopropyl alcohol is not good for you.

[Rosie] Any chance you can get the rain to stop? It's started leaking into our flat. Roofers have been called but they're a bit busy today.

(rab) Edinburgh, yes? It'll gradually peter out but Saturday afternoon brings another dollop. Hope you can get it done before then. This used to happen at work rather a lot so we set up an indoor raingauge network.

(rab) It was wet day even for Scotland with 40 mm in parts of Edinburgh, according to this. Edinburgh's mean annual rainfall is actually considerably less than mine in the dripping wet Surrey uplands. (680 mm vs 815 mm)
