Gratitude, Fab Night Out and New Sandals

Thank you all so much for your kindness and good wishes for my son.  He's out of hospital but not out of the woods yet as he needs more investigations in a few weeks, once some healing has taken place.  It will be a long job I reckon.

Tuesday night was the night of our long awaited May treat 😊  We went to see the band Talon performing at the Rose Theatre in Kidderminster.  They are an Eagles tribute band whom I've been following for years, firstly on my own, but now Graham has to come because I don't like driving home in the dark at the end of the show 😎 I'm always playing The Eagles and similar artists' music at home so I've been quietly educating Gray with regard to their kind of music on a regular basis 😂 

They were amazing as usual.  Their harmonies and indisputable talent as musicians took my breath away and gave me clear head space for a couple of hours....




If you enjoy 1970's music you would love them.  Do check out their website: 

www.talonacoustic.co.uk

There is a music video on there with their version of John Legend's  'All of Me'. Johnny Miller is the main vocalist and I'm totally in love with his slightly husky voice.  Go on...do take a peek!.....

As the weather has been so warm I took the plunge and treated myself to some new sandals to wear on the night.  £22 from Next so not a fortune and they are soooo comfy......



As luck would have it, it was raining when we exited the theatre 😏 so my new sandals got a bit damp and when we arrived home there was not a drop of rain anywhere.  Good grief.....

Yesterday ( Wednesday) however, we had an hour and a half of steady rainfall with a few rumbles of thunder into the bargain.  The garden looks so much better for it and it will have put a little water into the butts too.  You can see how dry the ground is here. I know the grass will eventually recover so I'm not worrying about it .....




Thanks so much for popping in.  Do stay safe and well wherever you happen to be,

Angie 💗

  1. We are having our second day of rain, still not enough to refill the waterbutts, I won't need to water the garden again tonight.

    1. Dry for us today and we could do with a drop more rain.

  2. We had a goodish downpour on Monday night, so the garden plants perked up. OH has been out and seeded parts of the lawn that were very bare. Previous owners of this house weren't gardeners, as when we moved in the lawn was about 2ft high, which now accounts for the bare patches. I do hope your son gets his health sorted. Granddaughter has dislocated her elbow again, so another operation and now physio. Kids! Xx

  3. I think there was about 10 seconds of rain here and that was it and it's been blinkin' cold today back to leggings and extra layer.
    Your night out sounds good

  4. I wish I could send you some of our rain. We got about 6 inches last week.

    God Bless.

    1. Oh yes, we could certainly use some of that! 6 inches is a lot of rain 🌧

  6. You certainly deserved that great night out after the worries of the last few days. I'm glad that your son is out of hospital and hope the investigations will find a long term solution for your son.
