Whatever the weather 
Friday, September 7, 2007, 12:23 PM
Hello, it's Matthew. What a very strange summer but never mind, it's been hot some of the time! Here's what I did over summer:

July

This month I was very busy with a show called 'Tears', our second part of the Shysters Triptych working with the Shyster Shadows. We performed it at the Auditorium Reformed Church.

I also had a part in a Lady Godiva procession from Belgrade Car park to Memorial Park. I had to stand on the float and pose to people. It was a warm sunny day on a Saturday morning.

I also had a good day at Deedmore School on the last day. Weather was really raining, heavy showers. I went to see the class groups I am working on with Richard and Jon.

I'm still having a great time at the Jumping Jacks nightclub where I dance to music and drink VK blue. So a very busy month!

August

August was a good month for me, I went away with my friend Matthew Gosnay's family to Butlins in Skegness. i stayed in a caravan. The weather was nice, we went to centre stage to watch the red costs and bands on the stage perform. I went to the splash pool and had a splash in the crazy waves. it was fun.

I also went to Jumping Jacks there - a bit different to Jumping Jacks in Coventry.

The weather started to change, we had rain, thunder and gales. Matthew's mum and dad said I could go down in October for another break, fingers crossed.

So I'm just enjoying my break from Shysters theatre group. It's going to be a very busy Autumn til Christmas with the Shysters.

So a lot is going on but I keep update with my blog. Well it's autumn and it's bye for now!

Matt

Heat and sunshine 
Thursday, June 7, 2007, 10:26 AM
Well it's Matt here - June 7th 2007. Just wanted to update you on my blog.

It's that time for heat and sunshine. Summer's here at last, but I am still as busy as ever.

I had a very busy April & May. Months working in schools like Coleburn School. Birmingham did a sharing of our work to the Birmingham Hippodrome theatre. In May, we finished the 2nd project of a three year project with Deedmore school.

We are still working in these schools at the moment. This month is a very busy time - I am rehearsing Tears, our latest show. It is the 2nd story of three performances. The last piece we did was Shards. We carry on into the next story and we don't know what the 3rd story name is going to be yet but we are having a good time. We are working with the Shyster Shadows.

2007 is going to be a busy one!

Hello it’s Matt here.

It’s going to be a big year, 2007, for me working with the Shysters. The theatre company has been together since 1997 and this year is party year.

We’ll be working with three schools on a school project like Colebourne and Beautiful in Birmingham and in Deedmore school in Coventry. I’ll be working with Richard Hayhow, and Artist Director Katherine in Birmingham and Richard Hayhow, me and Jon doing Deedmore School.

And also we’re working as a company doing a summer show, working title Tears. We’re rehearsing at the moment to put it on in July. I’ll tell you more later on.

Apart from that, I’m busy. In my other time away from work I’m a party animal. Jumpin Jaks is the place to dance and listen to music. I go every Saturday night, I love it in there. I met Martin Fowler from EastEnders in there on 6th Feb. I got his autograph – his real name is Jason Alexander.

Hiya, well it's getting so close to christmas and I'm still busy as ever. I'm still working on the shysters projects. The snowshow at Birmingham school Beaufort+Coleburne and back at Coventry working on the next Shysters show follow on from shards our last show about the moon and moons daughter. Next year's going to be a big year - looking forward to that.
In my life away from work I'm getting into pop music and I still like classical world jazz and folk. I'm into all sorts of music now. So I'm into going to jumpin jaks nightclub for dancing I go there Saturday evenings to have a boogie I love it. Saturday nights for me is dancing night.

Southend on Sea 
Monday, October 9, 2006, 01:48 PM
Hello it's Matt with my diary. On Monday 14th August 2006 we went to Southend on Sea. There was me, Lisa, Sarah, Jason, Wayne and two support workers Terry and Julie. There was 8 coaches from Hillfields that departed. The weather wasn't that good until lunchtime. It took us 4 hours down and back. In the evening we walked along the seafront and into the shops. We had fish and chips in the chip shop. It was OK. Not all brill. The motorway was busy. Lots of roadworks.

It didn't stop raining down and then it cleared. We also watched Wayne, Jason, Sarah on the elec volt, it was funny. Me, Julie, Lisa were watching I think Terry wasn't on it. I was walking about inside the arcade.

It was a nice day from Coventry but the weather wasn't hot enough and there wasn't and events going on on the beach. Let's hope next year's day trip will be super.
