I'm sitting in my battered old wicker chair that creaks every time that I so much as breathe when I'm relaxing in it, Steve Wright's Love Songs is playing in the background.... Kiki Dee 'Amoureuse' is on as I type. I always loved this song...the dogs have been walked, dishwasher and washing machine are also chugging away and all is well with the world. I hope this update finds you well and relaxed.
This has been another busy week. I've been to the dentist (fillings galore), I've been Christmas shopping and I've had lunch with friends. I also finally met up with one of my cousins who I hadn't seen for years. We chatted away and had a good old catch up. It was good to see her looking so well and, yet again, it reminded me how time flies. I remember family get togethers when we were kids and now I'm in my mid 50's! However, isn't it great that we are still in touch with each other?
I've made several visits to the local garden centre this week too!

I first went there this time last year just after we moved here. I was amazed at the time. The place has a bit of a disorganised feel about it but I love it there. A few weeks ago they had a Halloween Walkthrough for children that I took my grandchildren too and now they have there Christmas areas set up. I think you could probably get any colour of bauble that you would like from there and they have another walkthrough which includes polar bears, huskies, Father Christmas, The Grinch and real reindeers. I just love that it's so close to me. I can be there in 5 minutes. I've already been there with two of my daughters and my friend and I have no doubt that I will be there again at least once this week.
I'm not sure if I mentioned that I have booked tickets to see Busted?! I may have decided to keep that quiet but it's out there now. I have not yet got tickets, or even tried to get tickets, for Coldplay and I didn't get to see Frank Turner when he played Southampton a few weeks ago. In fact, I'm not going to get to see him at all on this tour which a bit of a blow. He continues to get rave reviews though which is great.
I think there is a possibility that I may try to get tickets for Funny Girl starring the brilliant Sheridan Smith but it may be sold out already. I haven't checked. However, I must focus on our trip to New York where I feel quite strongly that I/we should go and see a show. It seems the sensible thing to do, don't you think?
We also have tickets to see David Tennant in Richard 11 at The Barbican in January and I'm very much looking forward to that.

I last saw the brilliant Mr. Tennant in Stratford when he played Hamlet. He was mesmerising in that production and I have no reason to doubt that he will be anything other than wonderful in January...despite the fact that he now has four young children!
Time is whizzing by. Christmas will soon be here with all of the joy and happiness - and possibly a little stress - that comes with it. NYC has been booked and just needs organising and then...as long as she can hold on to them that long...my daughter is due to have her babies. Exciting times indeed.
Oh, and I finally finished the first blanket! What a labour of love that was. Only another one to do then!!
Stay safe and healthy everyone.
