Thank goodness it's the weekend

What a week that was!  But it's over now, and I got invited to go to The Proms tonight, so I jumped at the chance to make up for what has been going on. The guy from our travel agency who has been totally flirting with me for like a year, emailed me this morning (forgetting I wasn't supposed to be in work) to invite me to listen to Bruckner's 8th at the Royal Albert Hall. Promenaders can get tickets from £5 if they are willing to stand/sit in the Arena area. The thing is, it gets terribly hot in there, and it can get quite crowded.  Still, it was a chance to hear some wonderful music and see a fantastic orchestra led by Bernard Haitink, so who cares if I was a little sweaty!  I really enjoyed it, and S introduced me to a bunch of other regulars who he knows. A very knowledgeable musical bunch. I can't quite believe it was my first ever Prom concert!  I watch them on TV, and I love the Last Night of course - who doesn't? - but I'd never actually been to one "in real life". So now I'm hooked.  And check out this website; the homepage has squiggles like the very latest in scrapbook design....
Anyway, I got home at about 10.30pm and flopped down in front of the TV while DD hogged the PC.  I watched a double bill of Extreme Makeover Home Edition and now I'm grabbing my chance to update the blog. I know I'll regret it in the morning!
Just wanted to finish by saying thank you for all the good wishes I've been getting. You are all lovely :)

Jen I am so sorry to hear that you didn;t have your surgery. What a bummer! I hope it gets sorted quickly. We went through the chemo ritual yesterday - total of 7 hours in the hospital. The proms sound great. Enjoy!!
