Oh dear!

I've always been known as the creative one, but after reading this article today I'm not so sure I should advertise that fact!

In other news, on Friday when Claire treated me to a manicure I then went with her to her place of work as she had to do something quickly. I sat in Costa with my low-cal frozen yoghurt and this young couple arrived with a teeny baby (crying his head off - I knew he was hungry right away).  When Claire rejoined me I told her and she said she knew the mum, so we peeked our head round the door of the kitchen, where she'd been feeding him. He was totally adorable, and I found out his name was Alexander. We gave the dad our telephone number and email address and I'm really hoping they'll take us up on our offer of doing a photo shoot. I can't wait to start taking photos of newborns. In fact, if you know of anyone who is having/has had a baby and who would like free photos, please let me know in the comments section. Pass it on :) 

Last but not least, yesterday was Elton John's concert at Vicarage Road. His only UK date this year, and it's round the corner from my house. Last time he did a concert here I sat in the garden in the sun and enjoyed it; this year, not only was it pouring with rain, it also happened to fall on Eurovision night. I ended up spending half the evening sitting in the bathroom listening to Elton, and half the evening downstairs making dinner and catching up with the Eurovision.  By the end of the evening the verdict was in: the Elton concert won hands down!  I nearly cried when he sang Your Song because a) it is a favourite of mine since about the age of 9, and b) I knew it was the last song of the evening. Sigh.  (Chrissie - I hope you got my message. I thought of you because all the songs took me right back to those carefree teenage days. Yes, he did Tiny Dancer: blue jean baby, LA lady, seamstress to the band.... ). 

Sigh. Enough reminiscing, time to check the tumble dryer then it's off to bed I go.

Oh Yes I got your message. I am sorry that I missed your call. I was at the cabin getting some rest. As soon as I listened to your message, the CD went in and Yes indeed I played our good old songs. I was singing along as well and enjoying a nice glass of Merlot. I may not have been there in person but I was in spirits. Glad to see that you are keeping busy and getting back with your photography. Gros bisous. Moi.
