i feel nice, like sugar and spice.......

well ive had an amazing weekend. so much fun. rfa, jane (his sis), ross and i all went to see the legend himself mr james brown at the roundhouse in camden. it was for the bbc electric proms. the zutons were supporting him and they were ace too. only did a half hour set but it was good fun. jimmy brown came on and did all the main hits (:P) and his set lasted about 2hours i think. the venue was really nice and it was packed and had a cool atmosphere. my photo below aint that good but never mind! you get the idea! click on the link below and you can see other photos and watch the gig on tinternet. cant believe hes about 73 and still performing like that! big thumbs up to the guy!!

on the saturday we pottered around london and rfa met up with some mates. in the evening we had a really good, and not too expensive, meal at strada next to the london eye and by the river. it was so warm sitting outside, cant believe its the end of oct and everyones still in tshirts.

we then headed to the old vic theatre near waterloo and went to see 'a moon for the misbegotten.' it had keven spacey in it and was brilliant, eve best was the leading lady and she was fantastic too. such an emotionally charged play. we both got really got engrossed in it. i know this is straight from the website (see link below) but this was what it was about:
'Josie (Best), a towering woman with a quick tongue and a ruined reputation lives in a dilapidated Connecticut farmhouse with her conniving father, Phil Hogan (Meaney). Together they're a formidable force as they scrape together a livelihood. But Josie's softer side is exposed through her love of Jim Tyrone (Spacey), Hogan's landlord and drinking buddy - a third-rate actor whose dreams of stardom were washed away by alcohol. '
it was so good as i keep saying (!) and rfa and i were on the front row right in the middle. the stage was really low so they were perfect seats and we got to get really close to mr spacey!! if anyones in london wanting to see a play you really should see it! only thing i would say is dress smart! :S if the other people in the audience looked anymore down their noses at us they would have fallen backwards!! it was really bad! i was toying with the idea of going to the 'powder room' and coming back with my skirt tucked in my knickers or something to see what theyd do! hehe.
so yeah, overall a pretty good weekend i'd say and it was lovely seeing rfa again. was sad to see him go yesterday 1. cos i miss him and being back in lufbra with the uni lot and 2. cos it meant the weekend was over and i have to go to work in about 10min! boo! hehe. anways better get going this gals got a bus to catch!

T-minus 6months / 184days!

Image
Eeep! 6months today I'll be just about to walk down the aisle to see the man I'm going to marry! AAAAARRRRGGGHHH!I'm so ridiculously excited I'm not sure I can bottle it up! Valentines day marked 200 days till our wedding & mum made us a countdown using tape measures measuring 100cm each. The plan was to cut off a cm each day as the countdown but she'd included little charms all down them of bags, shoes, guitars, etc & we didn't want to ruin it so we're colouring it in with a Sharpie instead! She's the best! :) thanks mum! Last night after work Adam & I met up at Waterloo to head home & it was all going as planned till we stopped at one station for about 20mins cos of a backlog due to a part suspension. There was nothing we could do to get on another line so we sat & waited, the train eventually left but then sat at the next station (Swiss Cottage) for another 20min & they didn't know when they'd set off again. We knew th...

Happy 30th Adam!

Image
Wow what an eventful weekend! Friday was Adam's 30th so we both took the day off work to celebrate together. After sleeping in till 10am Adam finally woke me up asking when I was going to emerge & celebrate his birthday with him - Yoink! So much for the breakfast in bed I had planned. We started the day off as all birthdays should be celebrated - with a trip to Asda! After getting the boring chores out the way we headed to Winter Wonderland (via the Barber) for our annual wander around with a mulled wine in one hand & a Bratwurst in the other all polished off with a pretzel. We stopped off at the Carousel bar to watch the world go by (literally! The whole bar rotates really slowly) & have another mulled wine while putting the world to rights before heading off for dinner in Hammersmith. The first of many surprises for Adam were tickets to Steve Merchant's 'Hello Ladies' tour at the Apollo which was really good fun. We got there quite early so thought we...

#TowerPoppies

Image
Last September I was lucky enough to get the chance to take part in the "Blood Swept Lands & Seas of Red" at the Tower of London.... Those of you who are regular readers will know I love helping out the Royal British Legion & this was a chance to be part of something awesome! "Blood Swept Lands & Seas of Red" was to mark the centenary of the outbreak of WW1, in total there were 888,246 ceramic poppies (1 to represent every British / Colonial serviceman killed) & the last one was planted on Remembrance Day. If you want to find out more & see a video about the poppies being made click HERE . Early one Saturday morning I set off to the Tower of London & joined another 120 people for a 3hour shift. The aim was to plant 5000 poppies to keep on track for the 11th November but someone ended up opening an extra palette & we planted 6000 instead! Our team was lead by a Beefeater's daughter who actually lived in the Tower - such an in...
