Busy day today!
Didn't rush to get out of bed, we're still struggling a bit with being back and being tired all the time, really a bit odd. Tash had things she wanted to do in the day and left me to my own devices.
I left around 8.30am and went to golf and was so surprised to see the place empty, I had a feeling there was an email saying it was closed but that was for a different date I later established. Anyway, wasn't going to complain and got going. Gradually a few other players appeared but it seemed so strange fro a Saturday morning for it to be empty.
Went round okay, lost a few balls to the water but found a few too. Tried different things with my swing, didn't make much difference with my driving - need to organise golf lessons for sure!
Finished about 11.30am and felt a bit guilty that I should go over to the gender reveal for Tiffany and Aeron so went straight to Bicester (it was being held at Sue's of course) and walked in and surprised them at midday as I was an hour early!! I set the BBQ up and running and pottered around.
Aeron turned up and wasn't too pleased with the BBQ running and its location so we moved a few things around and he took control so I left him to it. Gradually everyone turned up and it was a full house, including Aeron's kids and uncle (and partner) which was nice.
Had the food which was good and then the reveal which was the cutting of a cake to see what colour sponge it was - bit of an anti-climax because the kids cutting it were in the way! But they enjoyed themselves.
Tidied up and then left as busy evening ahead.
Fed ad walked Bess and then around 5.30pm John and Pauline arrived and I drove us to London, we were hoping to have a picnic in Hyde Park but the weather was against us so after I'd parked up near Edgeware Road we found a pub and had a couple of drinks - so nice to be in the centre of London and soaking up the atmosphere. It started raining so we go an Uber to the Royal Albert Hall but the traffic close by was packed so we jumped out and walked through the park.
Got to the Hall and big queues so went in and we were up in the Gods as high up as you can get. But it was good because there was loads of dancing space and we managed to find a place where we could look over the balcony and see the stage (just about).
The concert was Ministry of Sound dance anthems played by an orchestra - exactly like Pete Tong and the Heritage orchestra and many songs were repeated funnily enough. However, that didn't distract, it was brilliant and we had a great time, so, so good. It was fine not having had a drink too (well, x3 all night). The show didn't start until 9.45pm so finished around 11.15pm and we then walked net to Hyde Park and back to Edgeware Road to get a kebab and we ended up in a shop sat down to eat.
That was good food and then we got the car and drove home - Tash and Pauline fast asleep in minutes!
Decent drive home, I was tired, but it was fine and we got home at 2.00am - said our farewells and off to bed.
A busy, long day but well worth it - the concert was brilliant.
However, I did feel that the Heritage Orchestra just edge it!!
