The diary of Berty Duffy

[SingleTunePoet]

Here´s another idea for a Corr fiction. The diary of Berty Duffy (Keith Duffy´s teddy bear. The life of the Corrs told out of the perspective of a teddy bear. You write one diary entry and then the next one writes the next diary entry and so on...but this has got nothing to do with our other Corr fiction, ok? So come up with something totally new. Are you with me so far? Then let´s go!



26th December 2004:

Dear diary,
ain´t we all happy the tour is over? I mean, come on, how would you like spending weeks and weeks and weeks in one little suitcase? Sure, right, Keith always got me out for the shows, after all I´m his good-luck charm, his mascot, at least he´s got me ever since he was baby. So at least I get to see a bit of the world outside of that suitcase at those nights. But what do I get to see? Halls filled with screaming folks! I´m way to old for that. I swear to God, if Keith is trying to take me with him on another tour, I´m gonna bite him...or something like that...I´ll figure a way to stay at home. Home sweet home! So it´s Christmas now and I am sitting here reflecting the Borrowed Heaven tour. It´s been one busy year, I think. At least for an old teddy bear like me. I am wondering if I´ll finally be seen on that new DVD. You have to know that the gig at Geneva was recorded and I just hope I am not going to be cut out again. It already happend to me at Lansdowne Road, you know. I simply got cut out! How cruel is that! After all, I don´t get any money for this job, right? Don´t you think a mascot should get some money for sending out positive vibes to the Corrs over all this years? So, I believe that AT LEAST they could have me on one DVD and if it was only one short second....but let´s talk about something else now, because I don´t want to think about this that much now. It´d only result in me having a bad mood all day. Let´s better rembember some moments from the last couple of months. Hey, there was this one day, I think it was somewhere in Germany...or was in the Netherlands? Well, there was this one day when Keith forgot to take me off stage. Imagine that! Everyone was backstage already and I was sitting there all alone. But, lucky me, Caroline saw that Keith was leaving without me, and went back to get me. Can you imagine how reliefed I was?! So, Caroline took me, saying: "Poor Berty, did Keith forget about you again? Maybe I should keep you. It probably is the 30th time that this is happening. Maybe you´d be
saver with me." But in the end she gave me back to Keith, as always (Well, you know, he can´t live without me.). I will tell you more about the tour tomorrow, I am tired now, I think I better go to sleep. Take care."

Dear diary,
guess what happened today!
My little brother, Mickey (Jason Duffy's Teddy), decided to visit me on New Years eve. Jason and Keith are going to a party and Mickey and I will have a dinner for one!
It's not so long ago since I saw him last time. Y'know Jason joined the Tour this time as the band's drummer because Caroline got a little Baby. Yes, so Mickey and I were together the whole tour!
It was the first time for him and he was sooooo excited on the first concert! We sat right next to the drums, between Jason and Keith. It was great fun. Very loud but great fun. But I don't know what I am going to do with Mickey on New Years eve....hm....
You have any ideas? Maybe we'll go with Jason and keith on this party. We're so little bears ....and I know that everybody knows us there because y'know they celebrate with The Corrs and some other friends...maybe John is even there.
I'll let you know soon.
bye

Dear diary,

happy new year! So Keith and Jason did NOT take us to the party with them (they´ll pay for that) and Mickey and I spend the whole night watching tv, having pizza and talking about the last months. You know, at first I was pretty sad about the fact that Caroline only did the first gigs with us but the fact that Mickey was with us, made it be alright again!
So, last night we talked about some funny moments....like that one night when we plyed a trick on Jason. We took his drumsticks and did hide them from him. And when the show was about to start, he couldn´t find his drumsticks anywhere! I thought that was great fun! Jim found them after a little while d gave them back to Jason and Andrea found it all pretty funny so that Jason still thinks that Andrea has been the one taking his drumsticks away! Haha!
OH! Jason and Keith are coming home, both looking very tired. Think it´s been one long night, hihi. I´ll go and find out who´s been at the party....
Talk to you soon!

Dear Diary!
Oh what a nice day today!
At first I was washed, then I was blow-dryed and now I'm totally styled! WOW, man do I look good! hehe, okay...enough from me, hihi.
Well, what else happened the last few days? Oh yeah! Who was on the party was the last question, well there was everybody....everybody...EVERYBODY. I mean, I heard Keith saying that Andrea was there...and Sharon and Gavin, jim , Anto, of course jason and many other people, friends and so on. Caroline wasn't there, of course she wasn't! She was staying at home with Frank and the kids, hehe. So today, was a great day, not only that i've been washed and so on, no, today was the first meeting of the band in the new year! hehe, it was great! At first they all played some old songs together and later then John came there as well! They all were happy to see him and then they started to talk about what should happen next. Which single will be released next from "Borrowed Heaven", any Tourdates already and even the work on a new album was talked about. Well, I didn't hear any news about the tourdates and a new album because there was a little bit music playin on the radio and i just liked that song.." I will survive, hey hey, lalalalalalalaalalalalaaaaalalaallaalaaalalalaalalaalaa
lalaalalalalaalallalalalaaaaaaaaaaaaaaalalala..." well, but I heard something about the new single! They decided that "Confidence for quiet" will be the next one. I'm glad that they chose this single because i really like it, it's a real cool song, hehe. But I also think that "Humdrum" or "Even if" would have had a great chance in the business. Well, maybe they will release a fifth single, I actually don't think so but I hope! ;D
So that was all what was happening....I guess. I'll go to bed now, man do i smell goooood!
Good night!
