Gigging It!

So, I got a text from Gary asking 'wanna come to our gig on Tuesday?'
Sure, why not sez me :-)

My diary is so full this week it's mad! (But I'm loving it!!)


Gary and Lisa sing in a band (the 'band with no name' although they hope to resolve that issue shortly!). The band plays for free at various venues to raise money for Jesses Fund, a York based charity which helps disabled children through music.

Lisa has a gorgeous voice and is accompanied by hubbie Gary on guitar and Simon on keyboard. Favourite songs include 'Ironic' by Alana Morrisett and 'In Your Care' by Tasmin Archer.

So, luckily I had a night free tonight (!) and was able to pop along to the Hole in the Wall pub in York where they were playing ... the bucket was passed around and so we hope they did well for Jesses Fund :-)

Tomorrow night is Skate Wednesday and so I had kept the evening free so as to be able to ferry No.1 son to and from his skateboarding. Now this week Skate Wednesday has been moved to Skate Thursday - good job Thursdays plans can accommodate this - otherwise No.1 son would be very upset!

Thursday is my Open House event for Phoenix cards - The new Christmnas range is out now and so I am having a 'look-see' evening for everyone to come and have a look and a cuppa and a natter .. what a good excuse I thought! Get out for a bit - leave the kids with hubbie! Fab!

Friday night is the Royal Signals Annual Dinner at the Worsley Barracks in York. This is usually a great night - a chance to catch up with good friends whom we haven't seen for ages and of course a totally fab excuse to dress up too!)

On Saturday evening we are driving over to friends for a sleepover and even though John doesn't drink we still manage to get through plenty of bottles of wine - how's that then ;-)

Sunday will probably involve a walk and a pub lunch and then back home to get ready for Monday ...

Wow! I never had a week like this when I was 39, or 38, or even 37...

I like being 40 :-)
