My uncle was also at the Muse concert...Hmmm. I also walked up the O2 arena today, it was very windy and it should have been a slide down. Not a walk. I also had the spiciest nandos for lunch with their ultra spicy sauce for my chips, I dreading going for a poo later... :/

The wedding went nowhere near as bad as I was thinking it would. It was a lovely day, and the reception was great. Apart from the drink prices - £3.30 for a vodka, lime & lemonade. 
On Monday night, the choir of which I'm a member in St Austell held a benefit concert to raise some money for the daughter of the caretaker of the church where the choir is based. She has been having health problems for a number of years, and has had numerous stays in hospital, often in London. Her parents have had to make numerous trips to the capital over the past few years, and it does cost a lot of money. Also, she's played the drums for the choir when she's been able to do so, which hasn't been very often recently. Our choir master suggested that we hold a concert to raise money to aid her parents' travelling expenses to go to and from London to see Becky, which went down very well. Overall, a grand total of £1,050 was raised - a fantastic amount, and Tony & Wendy (Becky's parents) are very grateful for it all, I'm certain.
On an unrelated note, I've just realised that I get reunited with Roland in seven weeks. Yes, I'm heading back to Europa!

I'm not sure how good this will sound to everyone else but it made me happy.
So my grandad has severe Alzheimer's, he's in a home and most of the time he just lies there curled up in a ball, only saying one word answers like "right" "ok" ext. He doesn't remember who any of us are. Not even my dad, who us his son.
I went to visit him yesterday and it was great though, he's had a urine infection, and they are unsure whether its because of that, or the drugs, or that he was just having a great day, but he wouldn't stop talking to us! Even if he did call me 'Martin', my mum 'Marigold' and my dad 'spotty tie' (he was wearing a spotty tie at the the time! )
He was chatting about how we came at a good time as he was off to visit a town with some old old friends of his, friends who in reality I think have died, and he just talked about old memories, people from when my dad was just a child.
He even blurted out 'look out andrea!' (my mums real name) "there's a wasp... And someone's riding on its back!!"
He kept trying to get out of bed to talk to us, which he can't do due to the muscles in his legs have withered away to nothing, and every time my dad would say "you can't get out of bed, you'll hurt yourself" to which my grandad would reply "you wanna bet?"
It was fantastic to talk to my grandad again, even if the conversation didn't make much sense! It was the first time he seemed genuinely happy of all the time he's been in that home!

Must be because you're used to Bristol, James. I swear I can get the same drink for £2 elsewhere in the St Austell area...GAGrathea said:Jonathan said:Apart from the drink prices - £3.30 for a vodka, lime & lemonade.
That doesn't sound at all horrendous to me? Is that just because I'm used to Bristol or?
