OH MY GOD!!!!! where have i been, who am i....what am i doing here?!!!!!! feel like i have literally been alice in wonderland and fallen down this big rabbit hole we call life!
well, i have been dealing with alot lately! lets start from the beginning...went to see sheryl crow at the bbc theatre after winning a competition to be part of a 100 people only audience on the mark radcliffe show.....tim and i were 2nd row from the front and it was awsssoooommme! imagine a theatre in art deco styly with dim lights and two art deco lions on the wall behind the stage. there were mics hanging from many points and a flight box on the left hand side that simply stated 'sheryl crow'. when we first arrived, we were ushered into the theatre to hear sheryl crow on the radio doing an interview, while the band was tuning up in front of us....many cool instruments might i add, including les paul guitar in sunburst and amazing tama star classic drum kit in maple. sheryl had a twelve string and an acoustic AND another guitarist and bassist taboot! the backing singers were two black mamas with funky hair and funky voices. when sheryl came out, i was surprised at just how tiny she is! she is roughly 5 foor one, size 8 and she was wearing simple jeans with boots and hair back in a pony tail. effortlessly beautiful. the one thing that you notice first about her is her smile....IT IS HUGE!!!! and even being surrounded by very tall musicians, she stole the stage with ease. and her voice......WOW every note was perfect and SOOOO loud! she did the classics from all i wanna do is have some fun, right up to her new tracks, including an amazing song called shine over babylon.she smiled at me singing along too!!!!!
if you can, listen to it on the bbc website, type in sheryl crow or mark radcliffe and you should find it....awsome!!!!!
after the show, we went to garfunkels, got drunk and headed to the hilton!!!! we managed to get a room for 50 quid, even though the rooms are usually hundred and fifty. i wasnt feeling too good by the morning...also have weird lump in my throat that has stopped me from swallowing properly (no jokes please!!!!) seeing doctor tomorrow....bit worried really since my throat is my income! trying to stay positive though!
so after the concert it was val day....very sweet hubbie gave me ratatoille on dvd...awwww! and we went to frankie and bennies for slap up meal, tres nice!
came home to find my cousin is coming down for two days, that was nice
oh! before sheryl...won a tenner on the lottery and 18 quid on random scratch card! wahoo! my philosophy is, that if you win money, you should share it with somone, so bought big issue, gave a quid to 'moldovite' blogger' and saved some and then, bought my friend a book.
good deeds done, i then went on to win a camera and be given a free gift bag in boots! karma is a funny thing!
other than that, went on a band doo and everything got waaayyyy outa hand....will never drink alcohol with muso's again as we all turn into plonkers!!!!
also found out my gran had breast cancer...not good, especially with throat thing....then found out one of my close friends has liver cancer, two big tumours that are too large to remove....she is so calm with it, whilst i have been breaking apart.....im seeing just how fragile life can be....the only certainty in life is death......talk about putting a spin on things. been very philosophical lately, hence the quietness....but we dont talk enough about those things so just thought id start to write again!
good news is that my cousin is getting married, as is my friend helen and my other cousin is haveing a baby, due yesterday....she is now eating pineapple to try and get it out!!!! i love her!
so, how you been?!!!!
