In the run up to half term I had a fab night out with SIL and her daughter( and their friend Jenny). We went to Wembly to see the Strictly Come Dancing show. Got up there nice and early so we could have a relaxed meal in the Indian restuarant just outside of the car park then just a gentle stroll over to the Arena. Our seats were fantastic being almost on the dance floor and close enough to feel the heat from the dancers when they had finished their dance and were waiting for the judges comments. Judges were the original four so included Arlene Phillips.Celebs included my personal favourite Mark Ramprakash dancing with Kristina Rihanoff. Their Samba routine (choreographed by Karen Harding) was spectacular, as was her costume. Like a giant fringed red hot poker!. I voted for him and that night he won. I am sure a lot of the banter etc was scripted but it was tremendously enjoyable all the same.
More recently had our work Christmas do. A bit late maybe but circumstances prevented us from having it before Christmas. Fish and chip supper , disco and Karaoke. A good laugh. Great crowd of people.
Even more recently ie. today, a new tattoo. A long time coming as my first was some years ago but worth the wait. Done by the Skin Sorcerer in Maldon aka Mark. Chosen online as I didn't have time to get to Maldon and choose.I chose a Sun and Moon motive as I have always liked these images and also because my hero Valentino Rossi has always used them ( in some different ways) either on his crash hat, leathers or other merchandise. I am really happy with the outcome even if I am a little sore at the moment.
