North Uist

Very hot day when we all leaving Harris – worse hottest when arrived in North Uist!! Road’s very narrow but I getting used with it when I was drive – my village have the road like that and it remind me that I didn’t miss my home that much!!

While I drove the van, Stephen and Itxaso point out where those sheep come out from everywhere – then fake sleep. They’re crazy, aren’t they? They seemed so keen about dive in the beach because the sand and water look very clean. Islands’ possible very useful place for people to go there to have peace time, and also, swimming there. I will tell people if they ask me where best beach – Harris and Uist, that is it.

Arrived in the small hotel, we put our stuff away and went to shopping for our lunch. Others went to beach – you can imaged why they decided to went there… yep, very hottest day! Except myself and Rachel – we both decided to have a rest because its too hot and had cool day. We re-read the script of Mouth of Silence because we want to… afterward, when I’m on page 10 of the script - suddenly I fell slept! Rachel as well! Woke up at 6ish and prepare for going back to Carivish Village Hall (small theatre) to doing our Scene 2 signing-line.

Kenny asked what my guess how many audience tonight, I admit that I was expected that one audience was a dog to see the show - others think more than one (Gee, I just kiddin’! Dog… come on!). There are eleven audience came and see the show – it’s not bad. Yesterday in Harris it’s only four audience but I just found out that other people went and see the circus show on same day! Meanwhile, its lovely weather and the set’s block us actors from sun which was good thing – too difficult for me to find the cue when sun beam at my face. No midget but greedy black wee flies play around, wind us up. We did very well outside as well as inside. I felt that tonight’s very better than yesterday – I was very ill last night which was so horrible – I went in bed early and today felt much better. And much happier that I drove the van! I miss my purple wee car….

Small hotel are very friendly – the staff made us beautiful soups! Am looking forward to sleep in the bed soon!

Am looking forward to South Uist tomorrow night.
