Singing with The West Cambridge (48 piece) Orchestra

I'm just getting out of bed to make brunch "What a lazy bugger, you may cry!" 1) I blame my postman's early morning delivery 2) I blame the Rock Choir DVD After thanking my postman, I hurried upstairs, two steps at a time, thinking to myself....... if the CD blew my soul, what will the DVD do? First watch Called DOS man and had a video link to watch it together........ didn't work! Why? He was talking through the rehearsal, something about the cathedral and its history, NNNOOOOO! Then the orchestra bit ( don't you just hate it when someone keeps interrupting! Kudos to him though, as I always do it to him LoL!) Second watch Aaaaah! Bliss! Watched it all through, without interruption but emotional Third watch Singing along but crying through "Something Inside So Strong Fourth watch Singing along but no tears Fifth watch Spotting familiar faces and smiling VERDICT? The DVD blew my MIND AWAY! Thank you Mike Tandy, for giving me/us the opportunity to participate in such an AWESOME DAY

Our transit plane from Detroit, Michigan couldn't take off due to snow A giant mechanical plant was used to spray de-icer all over the plane as we sat inside helplessly I'm watching 'Independence Day...... Resurgence Madam president reminded me of POTUS (he who remains nameless) Authorising an attack on a friendly alien ship, who then retaliates, causing millions of deaths God help America and its people!

I'm sitting in the moderately warm station waiting room, sipping a hot Starbucks "Tea Latte"
Picked up my train tickets from the machine Peterborough station is like the Marie Celeste All the poor souls traveling to work are nowhere to be seen Gone are my days of power dressing and being squashed like a sardine, day in, day out Neither do I miss the apologetic excuses of delayed London Underground Transport and inconvenient strikes
Don't you just hate it when you arrive at the bus station and miss the bus by a Nano second! The bus seemed to be teasing me as it reversed out of its bus lane) I'm convinced it had a smirk on its face

It's been three years since I last posted anything on my blog Why, yow may ask So many things have happened: An ex Civil Servant (Naked Civil Servant comes to mind), trying to find oneselve after thirty odd years as a Civil Servant, a move back to the Shires, making new friends both at church and the Rock Choir........... All in all, I'm settling into my new life, a more sedated life perhaps, but loving it! I'm still a holiday junkie Travelled to Miami, visiting family in Florida, going on the second Motörhead Motorboat cruise (the last one because sadly, Lemmy passed away a couple of months later. I am glad I had the pleasure of meeting Lemmy and have a photograph with him as a keepsake), Hawaii was a surprise visit organised by DOS man via our visit to Los Angeles, San Dieago, San Francisco We did a Caribbean cruise and a scandanavian cruise........... I can go on but I won't I believe I've got my mojo back! Watch this space as I continue my journey around our beautiful earth

Happy New Year........ Here's hoping that 2017 brings health and happiness to us all
