Big Newspaper Article and bleeding feet…

janeygodley | 15 July, 2006 09:47

Today in the Scotsman newspaper my daughter Ashley and I have a huge lovely article written of us, I love it.

Here is some quotes form the article-

"Effortless stream-of-consciousness riffs that Virginia Woolf might

have written had she only had a pawky sense of humour."

Scotland's funniest woman

"Godley's certainly a one-off - a cuddly-looking woman who sounds like

the mordantly lippy love child of Joan Rivers and Billy Connolly"

(The Scotsman)

So that was way cool! 

I am currently in Portsmouth which is surprisingly beautiful, they have completely renovated the harbour and it is amazing. I am doing Jongleurs here for two nights.

I bought lovely blue summer sandals (Ashley said they were hideous) I loved them until on the walk along the sparkling sunny seafront I felt a huge blister had developed under my heel as my feet constantly rubbed against the fabric sole. By the time I got on stage I had this huge water filled pus like blob hanging off my feet that I had to lance in the break with a sharp pin and then run back on stage with strange fluid leaking out of my skin! I managed to get back to the hotel last night and soaked my sore feet.

This morning I got up and wondered what to do with the devil slashed feet I now possessed. 

I have always worn my great MBT trainers, they have taken me round the world those shoes, never hurting, never letting me down. So I threw away the cheap Ted Bundy Killer shoes and slipped on my old trainers….they must have been disgusted at being discarded and developed a horrible Japanese torture personality because within half and hour they had rubbed a huge blister on my heel! What the fuck is going on? I hobbled into a shoe shop and bought a pair of flip flops that barely touch any part of my feet….and yes they have managed to cut into my instep where the fabric holds the sole on! I am hobbled!

I am hoping it all heals soon as I am off to Barcelona in two weeks time to do comedy there for the weekend.
