Hi there, well, where shall I start? First of all, most of you know that I lost my job last year and that I was very down and then there was no Jason in December. Well, so here we go.
Two days ago I signed a work contract, a really good one and I am so happy that this happened. To find a job in Germany is like having the jackpot. Oh well, ... and thats only the beginning.
My boss allowed me to go to London yesterday. So I am the happiest girl ever. I booked the flight before knowing that I would find a job.
It is all like a dream. I have a job and my boss helped me to have another perfect day in London. I wasnt sure at all. I still think life is much too perfect for me at the moment.
My husband gave me a lift to the airport in the morning and I was really concerned about the bad weather in Germany. Its snowy, its icy, its dangerous to drive and it was not sure if the plane would be in time. I must thank my hubby once again. He cares so much for me and he makes sure that I have a happy life. So we went to the airport in the morning, we were in time, the plane was in time, I arrived in time in London - this time in Luton -, the bus into town was in time, I was in time in Oxford Street. I only say too perfect. The only thing that didnt work out right was the weather in London. I hopped off the plane and thought, Ulrike how could you forget, you are in London, why didnt you take your umbrella with you? It was such a disgusting weather, really disgusting. Actually I should take a pic of my pants, I looked like a kid having played in the puddle all day. The pants were so wet and so so so so dirty. Well, but I had no time to think about it. Oh, and my shoes got wet, my socks were wet but I did go on and I went to the Palladium straight ahead in the hope that I would see Jason coming to the Palladium. I was worried. Why? It was 1 pm and he was not there. And then? I saw Ross Dawes (the understudy) going in. I was even more worried. But then I thought, hey, he plays in the ensemble. Phew ... It took a load off my mind when seeing Jason coming by his bike. What a picture. What a lovely one. Havent seen him coming by bike before. Oh, another girl was waiting for him as well. At this very point, sorry, I was so overwhelmed and my head was full of so many things at the same time. I hope you got everything you wanted ...
Erm, Jason was amicable, so nice, already by that time my trip was successful. Oh, thank you Jason, I know I am a crazy girl. Good that you noticed that.
So, Jason went in and I had another hour left before going into the 1st show. Maybe I should tell you that I went into both shows. What a lucky girl I am ...
Both shows were great. I loved the 1st show and I laughed a lot and I enjoyed it very much. Thank you to a man who winked at me from the stage. I didnt know that such a blink would make a day so special. I felt so welcome. I enjoyed it and I must say, I wish I had the chance to tell all the other actors and actresses that they do such a great job and that I enjoy seeing them all again and again. They are just great! Oh, after the 1st show I knew that Jason would come out, I asked him before very kindly, thank you, Jason! It went really crazy. I took my cellfone and dialed my friends number in Germany. She didnt have a clue at all that I would be in London. She thought I would be working in Berlin. So, I dialed and told her that someone would like to say hello to her and she should relax, and then I passed on the fone to Jason. Thank you Jason that you did me this favour! I did want to surprise my friend and she cant come over these months. I wanted to make her happy. So, thank you once again Jason!
Oh, then I had another 2 hrs time before the 2nd show would start. I couldnt live with my wet and very very dirty pants anymore. So the plan was made. New pants needed! And only 10 pounds were left. So I rushed thru Oxford Street and in the end I found nice jeans and I rushed to my McDee where I go to every time and .... I should not say I dont go there for food but for my personal public toilet ... I changed pants there and I felt much much better. From then on no-one was looking at my pants again ... they all looked at my dirty pants all the time and it was so embarrassing .... but that problem was solved.
I went to the Palladium again and I had my seat in row A again. Thank you Kel for that hint. Oh, and it was nice to meet you ... but as usual I was too busy and excited and exhausted .... As soon as I was in my seat I was tired, so tired, out of energy, I watched the show ... it was great again but it all came to an end much too soonish. Time went by so so quickly. Jason did really well, in both shows. All I can say, the man is back, back to top form!
And then the usual procedure .... rushing to the Backstage Door, getting a last quick chat, saying goodbye (which is the sad part) and getting ready for the long trip back. Jason was worried that I would spend the night at the airport. He said that I should stay in a hotel. The airport would not be safe. If I had the money, I would have booked a hotel but it is all a question of money .... Oh, and then 2 Stephen fans said to Jason that he could protect me And Jason answered that he would have already to protect a family. I thought about this sentence very long. And finally I must say, Angela, you cant get a more wonderful declaration of love. What a man, what a sentence ... I am so happy for you both, that you have found each other, that you have a family together. You both are an example for me that love can make everything possible.
Jason has a special place in my life because he saw both sides of life and he shows me that life can be happy and fun again. There was a time when I thought life is sad and hopeless. Jason has such a strong character and he and Angela show me that nothing is impossible and thats why I go to London, to get more energy from seeing and meeting him and thats why I go on with daily life and believe in myself again.
Oh .... before I forget, I asked Jason about a confirmation for him in Chitty in summer. He said there is a confirmation for the 11th June. So that should be the confirmation, shouldnt it?
