Well blimey, it's been a while since I did a journal entry so I thought i'd put pen to paper (as it were). I went to the Depeche Mode concert last week & it was indescribably fantastic - i honestly can't begin to say just how wonderful DM are. I went a bit mad & bounced around like a bloody kangaroo for most of the time (well not quite like a kangaroo but close) & then bought 3 t-shirts, a mug, a programme & a feathery keyring (tres cool!!) - cost a fortune but they're worth it!!
Went up to Lincoln at the weekend -that's where my bloke Jon comes from so we saw his family - his sister had a baby a couple of days before so we saw the new addition to the family & very cute he is too. We also went to Jon's friends 40th birthday bash which was rather entertaining. Speaking of 40th birthday's - it's Jon's today so there's a load of us going on a pub crawl/curry eating night out tonight & we've got 4 days to recover from it so it should be a good un!!
Just had my brother & nephew stopping with us for a couple of nights - we waved them off this morning - they went to London yesterday with Jon (I couldn't get the time off work - bugger!!) & they had a great time by all accounts - boat trips on the Thames, Science Museum, seeing a blue whale in the Natural History Museum (Harry, my 6 year old nephew loves blue whales) - I was really quite jealous when they were telling me.
Anyway, for the first time in ages I've got a few days where there's nothing happening at all so I can relax over the Easter break. In fact I don't think i've got anything planned until 25th when I go to New York - woohoo!! After that there's nothing til May 28th when I'm going to Birmingham to see ISIHAC being recorded - i'm looking forward to it immensly - i'm already trying to plan what i'm going to wear!!
It's been rather nice at work lately, what with the boss being on holiday - he's back next week though so I should really be doing some work to pretend i've done something while he's been away...
Mood - Happy
Music - Depeche Mode - Sister of Night
You can have Tre Cool as long as I can have Billie Joe!!
I kind of know what to expect at Birmingham having been to an ISIHAC recording at Tunbridge Wells (even though the actual episode which is on CD 9 is supposedly from Belfast - apart from the Belfast intro by Humph - it's the recording I went to - they're sneaky people who put these CD's together!!) - anyway, basically the evening lasts about 2 hours & it's bloody funny!! Afterwards I went to the stage door and got various autographs & chatted to Grae, Tim, Jack Dee (who I told off as, in the show he'd insulted Northerners & I am one - he took it well & even apologised although he knew I wasn't really cross with him!!) & Humph for several minutes - all in all a wonderful experience so I'm hoping Birmingham will be just as good!! Anyway, ramble ramble......
