Blimey, has it really been a week since I posted?
Not much to tell really. On Friday I went out with 15 colleagues for a fish and chip supper on the Bluebell Railway. It's a preserved steam railway, and the line runs from Sheffield Park, to Kingscote. it was a very nice evening, and the fish and chips was lovely! Served with bread and butter, and a cup of tea, and wrapped in traditional newspaper too! The journey, and the meal for only £8! It's a shame the evening didn't last longer though, I was home by 8:30pm!
I'm going to Morrisons tomorrow morning, to stock up on healthy food, then after coming home from Seaford and unpacking, I'll be hopping on the bus to Brighton. I've decided that even though I can't get anyone to come with me, I shall get myself a ticket to see Darren Hayes at the Dome on Friday night. I have the money, I have an early finish booked specially for it, and why should I miss out just because I'm too scared to go to a concert 8 miles away, on my own?! I've been a huge Darren Hayes fan ever since his Savage Garden days, and who knows when he'll be in this neck of the woods again?
I've just ordered a spare battery, larger memory card, and battery charger for the Canon Powershot SD750 camera that I bought in New York. It's a tiny camera, so I'll have no trouble getting it into concerts and the like, and apart from the fact that I'm having to buy a UK charger as it came with a US one, it was a real bargain! Even with the cost of the charger I'm still paying less in total , for the camera, two memory cards, two spare batteries, screen protectors, and case, than I would have paid for the camera alone, in the UK!
Nothing much to tell, other than that. Off to get me some dinner!

Ooo, I love the sound of the fish N chip supper you and your colleagues enjoyed! What a lovely way to spend a few hours :-)
As for Darren Hayes, I have to admit, that I have never heard of him, LOL. Mind you, I barely know Savage Garden either so maybe that's why? Anyway, I'm sure you'll have an enjoyable time at the concert! Well done you for going it alone. Like you said, why should you miss out on this opportunity just because you have no one to go with you. Easier said than done, though I'm sure you'll be absolutely fine ;-)
I shall look forward to viewing the photos ;-)

Hi Lins!
Yes, the fish and chip supper was really nice, though it was shorter than we expected, and with the evenings drawing in now, the return journey was in darkness. Several of us have agreed that we'd like to do it again in the early summer, when the evenings are longer.
As for Darren Hayes, well, he certainly isn't anything like Guns 'n' Roses, but I love everything by Savage Garden, and most of his solo stuff. It's the writing that gets me more than his singing, though he does have a gorgeous voice, but the emotion in his lyrics really moves me a lot of the time. There should be pics, though I stil need to charge the camera battery!
Hugs,
Kirstie

I use to like Savage Garden, an Aussie girl I worked with at Manchester Airport introduced me to them in 1998! There was a lot of talk back in them days they sounded like Roxette but it turned out it was because Darren was a fan for years of them! lol
