I was disappointed to learn on Sunday that I missed a documentary on Dusty Springfield, the White Lady of Soul. It was broadcast on ITV Wales a few weeks ago and I forgot to record it. I am not worried as I’m sure it will be repeated again soon.
I enjoy watching documentaries about famous singers/actors to learn about their life and achievements. Last Monday I watched a documentary on BBC 2 about Doris Day, which was interesting. She was known as the Girl Next Door during the 50’s and 60’s. Presently she is an animal rights activist.
I stayed up Nan’s on Saturday. She is feeling a lot better now. She went for an X-ray last week and her hips are narrowing. Unfortunately there is nothing the doctor can do, except higher the morphine dosage in the patches and Nan doesn’t want that to happen.
Nan decided to participate in her bowls game. She played in a match yesterday, with aid from her secret weapon – support tights and won the game! I still worry that she may be overdoing things by going to bingo and doing other things too. She assures me she will be fine but it doesn’t stop me worrying!
Exams are going well. I can’t believe I only have six left to sit and then that’s it. The agonizing wait begins. I get my G.C.S.E results on the 24th August. I expect my nails will be bitten to the core by then! I will try to give up biting my nails before I go to college. I have tried to give up a million times before but this time I am determined to succeed!
O.K. everyone I will stop there before this turns into quite a longish entry (and we all know what happens with long entries, don’t we?). Hope everyone is well.

I would like to wish my taxi driver, Clare a belated "Happy birthday". Hope you had a nice day! xxx

Hi Leigh, This is the first time ive read your journal, I saw you on Jans .I enjoyed reading it. I love Dusty Springfield, such a distinctive voice. did you know she was very short sighted and used to write bits on the inside of her arms , which is why she moved them in that way! Your nan sounds good fun despite her problems. good luck with your exams and liked your graphics. Linda xxhttp://journals.aol.co.uk/lindachapmanuk/metamorphing
I saw the documentary on Dusty, but had seen it before; also so an excellent one on Mario Lanza the other day as well............not that I liked his work much but he had an amazing voice and was a very unique man.
