My small moment of fame

Last week I went to see theives carnaval at the watermill theatre in newbury. It was a really good show, but the best bit was during the interval (while eating an ice cream) a land come up to me and my grandma (who had come with us) she said to me 'what are you in?' I thought what... she repeated it 'what have I seen you in?' I said I've not been in anything. I mentioned a few school and music centre things that I've done thinking that maybe she'd seen me in something like that. She then asked where I lived, obviously I told her I lived in newbury, that didn't help her as she lived in Bristol. She then gave us her life story. She was a cleaner in casualty!!!! (it did cross my mind to ask for a part, although I didn't) at that point the bell rang to say that the interval was comming to and end so we had to part. So I never did find out who she thought I was... the last thing said to me was 'you can make good money as a double...' problem is that I don't even know who she thought I was!!!!!
Any ideas?

The last day of work... till next week

Yesterday I finished one part of my summer job, the last group of children visited the farm, where I am leading field trips. Having taken them around the farm and then down to the river, we waved them off and then have to tidy up - the last visit till next term means that floors needed cleaning and the best job cleaning the toilets!!! I was also paid for the work I've done, which was cool. They also want me back in September before I return to Uni, and then again at easter (for lambing) and then next summer to.
the number of useless facts that I've learnt have just kept increasing, here are a few of them:
1) I can heard sheep into a pen
2) I can tall the difference between a male and female earwig
3) I can destinguish between the mayfly, damsal fly and dragonfly nymph
4) I know how to cook and eat american cray fish

maybe one day you to will know...
