I've started with Othello as apparently it's one of the easiest and most interesting ones... I have to say I felt pretty intelligent on the tube this morning. I was holding the book up like it was a sign for everyone to read, with the not so subliminal message "yes, that's right I'M READING SHAKESPEARE". I particularly waved it under the nose of a rather attractive guy.
In other news, I had a moment of fame the other night (kinda). Cosmo held Google Hangouts all last week for Clinique. Bridget March the online beauty editor for Cosmo had been discussing key fashion, beauty and nutrition trends and advice, and taking questions from real readers via a live Google Hangout. I was a standby reader just in case someone had Internet connection problems.
I was needed, hence my moment of fame. I enjoyed it, but watching it back I have realised that I don't have any eyes.
I need bigger eyes.
I might get my eyelids removed.

Sometimes things aren't very obvious until you see them for yourself (like the image above) or until someone points them out to you. Like the time in secondary school when I was going to be Sandy in Grease. Then one day the show producer said "Gina, I've been thinking...since your voice is so low maybe you should be Danny?".
I had no idea people thought my voice was that low. This was made worse when I phoned a clients house phone a couple of years ago and the daughter answered, "Mummy, there's a woman on the phone, she sounds like a man".
Stop laughing.
I think I've managed to make my voice a bit higher over the past few years. I particularly make an effort to sound like a woman when I'm speaking to guy on the phone for the first time. When I'm hungover though it's a completely different story, even my best friends sometimes ask "Gina, is this you?" when they phone me.
I'm going to leave you with a quick summary of last weekend...
I organised a day out in London for my mum's 60th birthday, which was amazing. I highly recommend doing the backstage tour of the Royal Opera House. We also went for lunch at Sketch, which was incredible and they even did this for her:

On Saturday I went to the Planetarium in Greenwich. It was SO FUN and Greenwich is amazing. They have the BEST haloumi wraps in Greenwich market. After visiting the Planetarium I decided that I want to be an astronomer so I might buy a telescope (yes, another one of my 'New Year' hobbies...but at least I won't have to learn to play this one).
Please can someone buy me a telescope? A big one.
The rest of the weekend consisted of red wine, food, films and pubs. And I'm now writing this blog to avoid the gym. I need someone to start dragging me there. Literally. It's been SIX MONTHS.
Yes, you did just read that right. Six months.
