Could it be? Matchbox Twenty!

It's been a while since I last went to a concert, but last Thursday night my friend convinced me to go with her to see Matchbox Twenty. I am so glad that I did. Unfortunately for me I left my camera at home and had to make do with my phone camera. Most of the pictures did not turn out well.

When my friend and I eventually rocked up, the line for entry stretched several hundred metres long! Fortuntely, once it started moving, it moved quickly. Not quick enough to avoid the polluted air of the smokers waiting directly in front of us.

 

Due to the delay of entering and the process of finding our seats, we missed most of Evermore's set. Apparently they have a new album out, we only managed to catch the last two songs of there gig, but I haven't listened to their music in a while and I don't believe I have any of their cd's.

 

 

 

During the interval my friend decided to get some food for us while I stayed back in our seats. Five minutes past. Ten. Fifteen. As it started crawling up to the twenty minute mark I finally received a message from her saying that she's getting closer to the front and could use some help carrying the food and drinks back to our seats. I climbed up the steep staircase, paying careful attention as to not trip up the stairs, and walked around to the food stall. My friend wasn't there. Confused I turned around and continues in the other direction for a while until I came across the line for alcoholic beverages. Guess who I found waiting in the wrong line? By the time we switched to the correct queue, INXS had finished setting up and were beginning their set.

 

 

Man they were good! They played all my favourite songs, plus some from their most recent album which I don't actually know. It was good to have the ones I didn't know, as it gave me time to rest my voice. Don't know how much good it did me in the end as it almost left me completely as their set finished.

 

The curtains were pulled shut as the stage crew prepared for Matchbox Twenty's performance. The crowd were slowly becoming more restless as the minutes stretched out. Next thing we knew a film was being shown on the curtains, welcoming the audience and introducing the main act. Together my friend and I sang our way through the show, probably to the disappointment to the people beside us. She captured some video footage and during the playback (in the car on the way home) we could hear someone, not sure who, singing loudly and proudly, yet extremely off key. I really hope that wasn't me!

  

 

  

 

All in all it was a great night and I am glad I finally got off my backside to have some fun.

And They Called It, Puppy Love

I cannot wait for Christmas! I know it's still roughly 10 months away, but The Boyfriend and I have already decided on what we are getting: a puppy!

For the moment we are still looking as there are many breeders out there, as well as many things we need to consider such as:

• Breed: At this stage it appears we are narrowed down to either a Cocker Spaniel or a Spoodle
• Price: I know we don't want it to be a factor yet there's only so much we can pay towards the new little thing (some can be quite expensive)
• Colour: The Boyfriend and I are still debating over final colour but that depends on what breeder we end up going with. One thing we both agree with is that we prefer the golden variety
• Gender: This one we both strongly believe in getting a little male puppy considering we already have a name for it

In the meantime we need to update our yard to be puppy/dog safe (including fixing up holes in the fence) and get prepared for the addition to our family.
I cannot wait to welcome home Wilson!

Over and out!

And You Thought I Was Gone...

But I'm back again!

Now that uni finished, I find myself with less free time than I previously had. Hence the hiatus in blogging. There have been numerous things that have happened between now and then:

• My cousin had a little girl early january
• My sister Miss Drama also had a little girl in February
• The above sister is now also engaged
• The Boyfriend's sister and partner became engaged in July
• Received a much deserved pay rise
• The soccer season has come and gone, unfortunately we ended up towards the end of the ladder

I have been living with just The Boyfriend now for about 7 months and it has been truly wonderful. Setting up home in my our own way has been fun but slow going. Eventually I will finish decorating the house to my liking but until that happens, I will have lots of bibs and bobs to use in place.

For now I shall keep this short, but I shall return!

Over and out.
