Good luck to all of them.

Good that she was impressed. I hope it is good.

I expect I'll have a few tears in my eyes when I take Claire to uni. I've already had the nightmares.

Hope you enjoy it.

Enjoy your bath Meg. I love mine too if I get a chance for a bit of peace and quiet and a bit of reading. Most times though, the bathroom is more like Piccadilly Circus and I'm in demand to test Spanish, solve algebra problems or listen to moans. Parents and sisters coming for lunch today - earlier, I prepared the roast, made fruit salad, apple crumble and egg mayo. Also made sure the place is clean and reasonably tidy. My mum has hawk's eyes.

That's great Meg. When and where is he on? Does Dave like him as well?

Enjoy your lie-in BT

though I do like imagining what he gets up to on the kitchen table

Right Girl Wrong Time

I'm watching the computer screen while my hubby is watching some boring programme on tv.

I should be going to bed

I do like Fragile except for the Serpentine/turpentine lines.

Thanks Meg. I hadn't heard of it. Doesn't appeal much except if Darius is on.

Hope you're sleeping well.

Good to see you back on here Meg

Knowing my luck - yes

Take Meg with you, Pam. :)

Poor you Pam. I'd hate to work nights.

It's the October one.

Booth wasn't there, only Avril and Aria. Aria looked fine. All he said was that he'd try to hurry Darius up. But that never happened. He may have gone out of another entrance.

I didn't know the hymn so can't tell you what tune. He only sang the first two verses and the chorus. The first refrain he did as a solo, the second had the stage choirs as backing. It was fantastic though. You are in for a treat on the 26th October

I wish I had seen him. I'm amazed my hubby waited so patiently for over an hour.

Right Girl Wrong Time for me

My hubby thought that if he recorded it, he could have an Xmas number one.

I waited by the stage door for over an hour. Saw Aria who said he'd hurry him up but when he hadn't come out by 11pm we had to go. He sang brilliantly. Did two songs - I need you every hour and From a distance. He also chatted for a bit with Aled Jones but had to be on a lower step so he wouldn't be too tall. He spoke about the first time he sang Colourblind at the Albert Hall, mentioned Live Twice and his dad's recovery from Cancer. Aled asked him about growing up in a household which had two religions and he said that it taught him that there is only one God. He also said how his mum used to sing to him at bedtime and he mentioned working on his third album. There's probably more but I'm too tired to remember. We were lucky because he had to sing From a Distance twice as there was a technical problem with the first one. He sang the second even better and the high note he ended on was an awesome finish. He wore a suit and shirt but no tie. I was in very high up seats so it was difficult to see his face. He was tired and jet-lagged apparently because he'd flown in from LA yesterday. From where I was sitting he seemed very slim. He is on the 26 October show.
