Ghost the stage show

A few weeks ago we had a weekend away at my Aunts in Manchester.

Part of this trip was a visit to the theatre.

They are big theatre goers & recommended this show. I had of course seen the film so knew the story & thought I knew what I was in for.

Well what can I say....

It was amazing!!!

The use of effects, stage trickery & lighting was captivating & allowed them to add a depth of movement not often seen on stage. 

The cast were amazing & it literally has me sobbing in places, I'm a softy anyway but even the most hardened of our group had a lump in their throats.

The highlight of the show was of course the Oda Mae Brown character who had us all laughing out loud & thankfully brought some much needed smiles through the many moments of tears.

Me & the Mr both thought I was THE BEST show we have seen so if its coming to a theatre near you any time give it a watch - but wear waterproof mascara & take some tissues & sunglasses!!!

Enjoy! 

Wimbledon

Wow....

What a match!!

I'm not a tennis fan but started watching half way through and was gripped.

I won't pretend to understand tennis or how it's scored but you could tell by the crowds reaction what was going on & there were some very tense moments.

Well done Andy, you've worked very hard over the years & finally Wimbledon is yours.

I was welling up when he won, felt a huge amounts of pride & achievement for him & may have celebrated with a few ciders & new blackberry pimms ( which is very nice - nicer than original pimms if you ask me)

Did you watch it? Was your heart in your mouth???

  

6 months in......

So..... 6 months in & how have I been getting on???

 Well - the blogging has been a bit of a fail.. Posts dried up pretty quickly - but here is a post so looks like I'm giving it another go. 1/10

 The decluttering is an ongoing mission - lots of clothes & unused items have found their way to charity & new homes - so 5/10 for that one.

 Gardening, now this one is much better :) we regularly sit out in the garden for coffee or more recently just to enjoy the sun, the lawn is lovely and green and regularly mowed. 8/10

 Writing letters - have only written 1 so far this yr, dreddful, have even purchased pretty writing paper, so defo a could do better on this one. 1/10

Get fit & healthy - ahh another one not on top of, I am walking my pooch & have tried to get back on the diet wagon, but am nowhere near losing that stone - 2/10

Go on dates - this one has been ok, dinners to new restaurants, cinema trips, days out to lacal events. Maybe not dress up & taxi dates - but quality time non the less - 7/10

Save/make money - 50:50 on this one. I've given loads to charity that could have been sold, but in the interests of decluttering I just wanted it gone. I do have a few nice items that a friend is going to eBay for me and have curbed my spending. So maybe 6/10

Capture the moment - if taking pictures of food counts then this one us in the bag. Sadly I'm not sure it does. 4/10

Enjoy what I've got - this one has been very good, whilst decluttering I've found lots of forgotten items that are now in regular use. 7/10

 Initiate plans with friends - a few lunches, charity shopping days have been arranged by me - another could do better though - 5/10

 Do it now - I do it now (sometimes) 5/10

 3 weekend breaks - we are staying away for the weekend but at my aunts next weekend - finances has meant that weekends away haven't been top of my agenda - but I've still hot 6 months to see if I can squeeze this one in 2/10

 Ride my bike - not happened, not even once 0/10

 Oh dear - it doesn't look like I'm doing very well does it. How are you getting on??
