I Mowed The Front Lawn Yesterday...

but I struggled. And I mean that in every sense, I was shattered. It was out of hand. And the gardener I had last year left his mower in my garage luckily. But the back garden needs to be strimmed before any attempt is made to mow it. I will have to be getting in touch over the weekend to arrange a tidy up. Find out why he has not returned for his mower.

I needed to rest and  I was virtually asleep as soon as I came in from the concert.I managed three hours. The meals I put in containers are superb...I had a meal within 4 minutes of walking through the door once placed in the microwave.

The venue of the concert was packed. Some familiar faces in the audience and performer wise we are fortunate that some come to my music club on Tuesdays. Or appear at the few venues that offer live entertainment. The headline act being the Happy Cats. Preceded by the John Wrightson Band and Jack B. Burness.

Update:Considering the distance from the stage and lightening I have some images to post and on the original Facebook I uploaded them to first...the biggest compliment is that the Happy Cats liked them. With more time I probably could've got more and perhaps better ones.

The difficulty of booking shows ahead is that occasionally another is publicised after you have your ticket. And when I watch a music hall night hosted by Roy Hudd in July, round the corner we have another veteran comedian Jimmy Crickett is appearing. Had I known I could have gone to a matinee performance of the Music Hall and seen the other comedian in the evening. I could probably still change the tickets but I think I will leave things as they are now.

However, though not everyone's cup of tea I now know of a comic play based on Robin Hood in September starring some elder performers of TV/Variety is happening so I have booked a ticket and have someone coming with me but his family are keeping it a secret. It stars Su Pollard and Cannon and Ball.

And thanks to the late bus changing its schedule, it leaves at 11.15pm so if the show finishes late we can get home. If it finishes between 9.30pm-10pm we still have a bus around 10.15pm if we can get to the bus station. I would rather hang around the bus station and know that I will get home eventually than leave early and miss a show or some of it.

We are lucky that there is a theatre in Durham and Darlington and now there is a bus that will mean we can go out for a show. There are a couple of other venues nearby but the bus service is a problem. I would consider staying overnight. But a quick look on the web shows that many places are already booked and yes much more expensive than a taxi fare even if you find an offer.
