Last night we met with my adorable friend Geordie and her
lovely Husband.
We went by taxi oh, and I must say, the taxi driver was
rather sexy hahaha. So, as we got out Hub walked with our friend and I walked
with Geordie. As I was telling her in our bustling city how sexy that driver
was, going on and on and asking her what did she think? She just laughed and
said I don’t know; I just saw the back of his head… I replied, I didn’t even
see that and that was enough. Haha. His gorgeous Eastern European accent was
enough to melt my heart… Well my friends did put me in the front of the taxi…. Something
to do with fatso Fi in the front… so I felt obligated to be friendly to the
driver. Well after I was giving it large to my glamourous footballer’s wife
Geordie, suddenly I heard Hub say… Yeah, we know what you thought, it was quite
obvious you were almost eating the poor guy alive. Hahahaha. I just said, oh,
hi, have you been listening to us? Yes, he replied… well I thought he was much
further ahead of us. It was funny.
We went for a delicious Italian meal. Oh, it was so lovely
and the conversation at the table was amazing. Hub and my friends Husband get
on so well and Geordie and I are as one. One of those meals where everything is
so perfect. My friend is such a tonic. Just what I needed. Hub was happy too we
all just felt right. And then off to the concert. All the way there our guy
friend was making remarks saying he needs more alcohol before he see’s this
lady we were going to see. And not to tell his colleagues. As it was so uncool.
Well I tell you; I booked the seats months ago and it was almost sold out then.
He then said we would be the youngest there. He also said that in the taxi, oh,
that was hilarious. As he said that, the taxi driver replied no, I have just
taken a couple there and they were older than you guys…. Say no more please Mr
hunky driver…. Oh, but he did say more. He continued
“They were in their hundreds!””
Oh well that made me laugh so much I said to him you could
have said they were in their fifties or even forties? Hundreds? That means we
could look as if we are in our 90’s.
Well he got my humour and laughed we all did.
As we walked through the cobbled streets that were packed
not only with historical buildings but full of people rushing to their evening
out. We arrived at the art gallery to hear my friend say. Well, we are not the
youngest here. See, I exclaimed, she is cool.
There were very young people there in their mid-teens. And some
very old people and there was our age range…. 30’s….
Stop it
Our friend and Hub headed to the bar. I waited for my friend
Geordie as she went to powder her nose… well all I heard was Hub laughing as
our friend hid his head as if to not be seen. As he explained he had only stood
in the queue for the bar to look behind him and who was stood there?
His ex-wife and her family….
Hahahaha. Well I creased I said because he was guiding Hub,
she will think her ex has changed his sexual preferences. Then my friend
Geordie said, oh, heck, I’m glad I put my eye liner on.
We had good seats. But were in the balcony. The show started
it was our lovely singer on right away, no support just perfect a full night of
her. Oh, she was fantastic. What a voice. What a sense of humour. It’s so dry
my friend and I had tears. Hub loved her and, in the interval, our other friend
said he was actually enjoying it. Result. I have converted him.
My friend told me the stage was full of sparkles and her
first dress was long pink and sequined with stunning shoes. Then she wore a
sparkly white trouser suit then a long silver dress then finally a shorter
sparkly cocktail dress. Each time my friend said she looked beautiful.
This singer has a heart of gold and my friend said she is
the kind of person you could just sit and have a coffee with. She makes herself
feel like she is your best friend, your closest sister, your Mother and most of
all, she touches everyone’s heart. I love her.
I was so excited because she is having a Christmas show. That
would be amazing, but sadly it’s in a huge arena. I really don’t want to attend
that. I feel the beauty of last night was because she could hear what people
were shouting to her in the crowd and we could too. It was up close and
personal. Arenas are so distant and the sound isn’t half as good.
She also has a cruise next year oh that would be a dream for
me. But as the lotto has made itself not accessible now for screen readers, I doubt
I will be going on that cruise.
Hub is a musician and he adored the keyboard player. For me
it was the guitarist, wow, he was amazing. There was a man who sang with the
singer too and he was stunning.
At the end of the feel good night, we took a taxi home. We had
a perfect evening.
My Son got his walk in yesterday not sure it would be as
long as he hoped for, he also remembered me and his Dad and bought us our
favourite Kendal mint cake bless him. He is staying at the lakes in a log cabin with
friends.
Last night he was playing board games. I was so happy for
him. Now for him, the very long drive back.
I hope you have had a lovely peaceful or exciting weekend.
Until later. And thank you to the wonderful Jane McDonald
