Only just seen this, thanks Rachel. Glad I know what happened. Sue

I'm not there until the 17th Paul. Sue

Sunsets and stars

In our area, Bolton, they are reducing the educational physiologists from 10 down to 4!!! Sue

At the moment they are trying to get estimates on everything that needs doing, and then they will try to negotiate on the price. In Paula's department (educational physiologists), it looks like they will all have to re-apply for the remaining positions, but that won't happen until next January probably, so it's going to be a worry for some time.

Daughter may lose her job in the cut backs in children services in the area where she works and son's survey has come back on the house he wants to buy and it's awful, big jobs needed from top to bottom, and it's been wet and miserable all day! :( Sue

I'd love that one Meg, and also Smile. Sue

Queuing for a Darius signing.

Thanks Meg. Sue

We're at the end of row J in the stalls, 15 and 16 I think. There's a small advert for the show in The Opera House online brochure which they emailed me this morning. I'm pleased about that because it was missing from the one I received through the post a week or so ago. Sue

Opening presents

That makes two of us Gilly. Hope lots more people are booking as well! Sue

Knitting, but I have to be in the mood.

Darius always seems to have to fight so hard for recognition of his achievements. Sue

Icicles, but not the cold weather that goes with them. Sue

Thanks Meg, that was good to see. Sue

Glen Miller music

I never feel that they like Darius on Loose Women, they never seem genuine towards him somehow, epecially Coleen Nolan. Sue

Forgot to say how great the pictures are Paul and to wish you a belated :birthday:. The only thing wrong in Buxton was husband forgot the camera(that's all he had to remember!) so we ended up buying one of those cheap disposable ones. Goodness knows how they will turn out. Sue

It was lovely meeting you Bramley and I can't really add much more to this. I was impressed with Buxton, never been before and the theatre was beautiful, like something from a different era, and perfect for the show. I think the circle must have been quite full as well as the stalls from the amount of people in the bars etc. Definately an older audience though. Everyone seemed to enjoy the show, listening to the various comments and there was a very long queue for the signings at the end. Darius kept coming out and apologizing for keeping people waiting and encouraging everybody to squash into the foyer so we wouldn't have to stand outside(typical Darius!) I loved the show, the musicians were so talented and Darius, well, Darius was Darius, his voice was so rich and suited the songs so well, and he linked everthing together in his usual charming manner, but doesn't he sweat, at first I wondered if something was wrong! As for the new songs, brilliant with the big band backing, and even loved the swing version of Colourblind. Sue

Have been listening to the radio from 2pm and no mention at all of Darius. :???: Sue

Thanks Nina. Sue

Just heard that Darius is on Radio Manchester this afternoon, the Becky Want Show starting at 2 o'clock, 95.1 FM. Hope she remembers her manners, she's made it perfectly clear what she thinks of Darius in the past! Sue

Sorry you had so much trouble Paul. Looking forward to your other photos. All things considered, it was a good review from Lincoln. Sue

Yoghurt making, if anyone does? Sue
