Aussie reunion and Simon Growl!


Hello Bloggettes,

How's it going in cyberspace - Well by the time you read this the article on me will have probably been in the Daily Mail - so wish me luck!

Its been a busy one. Sorted the open top Frank Sidebottom tour, insurance for Berlin (its a nightmare when you've had a transplant you know) and London arrangements..

Work night out on Friday - balti - can't go wrong with one of those and Saturday I planned to do nothing - but you know me, I can't do NOTHING...so went to Formby (I seem to go to places which share their name with people, Crosby, Morcambe etc!) - to see the sand dunes..

It cost £3.70 to get onto the car park and then I was so knackered walking against the wind and the sand to get to the beach - I just sat down for a while and came back to the car... Didn't even do the squirrel sanctuary!

But in Formby itself I found a signed copy of a Mel C album for £1.99- which I hope will sell on eBay and pay for my day! (Which included another £1 town parking, an expensive latte and a lost £1 coin in the coffee shop!) - never mind at least I got some sun!

Sunday I drove across the moors to see Louisa, Helen and Niels - the reunion! We all worked together for the same marketing firm in Sydney, Australia...

Louisa - being a Yorkshire lass - cooks a lovely Sunday roast - and we had these funny ice-creams that have space dust in them (popping candy to you Yanks!)

This morning was a rush. Went to Speke to buy a suit, took longer than imagined and by the time got home - via the Polish car wash place - Kate was waiting for me!

We chewed the cud over too much coffee (or not enough!) - It was great to see her. She doesn't really change...good thing..

After she left I went to the gym - wasn't in mood for massive session (when am I?) But beat my record on the arim treadmill thing (like a set of peddles you operate with the arms) so I was happy..... An evening of sorting and putting the Ipod through the speakers on shuffle methinks!

Tomorrow I am judging a talent competition - Halton's got Talent - with my voice at the moment it will be less Simon Cowell, more Growl! I dread having to tell the little ones they haven't made it to the final and risk the wrath of their parents!

Then on Wednesday it is off to London for the Breathing Life Awards (with my new suit, mum and Sarah!) Wish me luck! Full report to follow!
