THE WAR OF THE WORLDS!!!

WOW!!! What a day!! What a week!! My head's been buzzing ever since we found out, quite by chance that, that Jeff Wayne's The War of the Worlds is touring again next year so armed with my O2 priority password I sat here at 9:00am this morning and... got the tickets!!!!! Eight rows from the front! I still can't quite believe it! The slight downside (and only slight) is that the show is on 12th December... NEXT YEAR!!!!! Well, it's something to look forward to I guess!! Even my (many) weddings weren't planned that far ahead!!

The upshot of all this commotion, factoring in the "new bed for Saffie" saga and the "finding a new skirt" saga is that I haven't done a lot of creative stuff this week. I did need a new skirt for the ceremony today and I did have a rather fun time finding one - a very pretty, almost Victorian affair in black taffeta with ruffles and beading. This is all because the weight training has altered my shape and I now actually look quite good in a smaller sized skirt!

The bed saga involved dismantling Saffie's HUGE hi-top bed ready for her very neat new bedstead. At one point Rowan helped me lift the top bunk down and we ended up trapped on the wrong side of it (it's a narrow bedroom) Just as we were chuckling over this comic event, the phone started to ring! "Go and get the phone!" says Ro to Leo. "No!" says Leo. "Leo, please go and get the phone for Mummy!!" "NO!!! I'm trying to watch this!!!" It was, in Rowan's words, a truly sit-com moment!

It has to be said that a lot of days are like that in this house. And today is NOT going to be one of them. In a little while Jerry, Saffie and I are going to watch David and Emma's graduation ceremony and then take them out to Wagamama's for dinner. (Rowan is looking after Leo for us and his treat is in a couple of weeks) Woohoo!! I get to be a grown up!!!

PS Isn't it a bit wow that both of my followers live in Seattle? I wonder if they know each other?!!
