Tonight Mum, Hien and I went to see a string quartet from String Infusion perform at Manchester Cathedral. The evening was promoted as a musical sensory experience, with two performances. One of ABBA songs and one of Whitney Houston songs. Here are some photos from the evening, click on any photo for full size image:
We had a fantastic evening. The performance was exceptional in every sense of the word.

At the weekend I went sofa shopping at ScS. I bought this gorgeous and super comfortable sofa:
While the Sales Rep went to discuss my purchase with a colleague, I took off my shoes and tried out the rug. On his return, I said:
Let’s talk about the rug. – Me
After some negotiation, I bought the rug too. It is honestly the most comfortable thing I’ve ever had underneath my feet.
Whilst in recovery from Pneumonia, I’m slowly sorting, cleaning and revamping my life at home.
Now this gorgeous sofa came with a considerable price tag, so I’m not taking any chances with it. Especially when considering my cats. So I went to B&M and bought three throws (images of the patterns below) and two cushions to match:
I have to wait a few weeks for the sofa and rug to be delivered. But I’ve already chosen the perfect corner for the sofa to be placed in my living room.
Write soon,

I remember that time we did 2 shows in 1 day in London. It was one of the best days I’ve had in a long time.
It was a bright February day. We enjoyed each other’s company in the car. You kindly did all the driving. We tubed it into the city centre. I nearly lost my life due to getting stuck in the tube door. But you were there to pull me inside. You kept me safe while we travelled around the gigantic and intimidating city of London. I have never felt safer, than I did with you that day.
We drove down to London and went watching Wicked and Bat Out of Hell:
Wicked was your passion. You were right seeing it with the full stage set and cast in London is an experiential must.
We had a brief scout about in London before getting something to eat.
Then we went on to Bat Out of Hell – The Musical. To you, this was you fulfilling a promise you had made. I didn’t take the promise seriously at the time you made it, due to circumstances. It was one that I never expected you to fulfil. The show was phenomenal and I’m sure that I thanked you more than once for the experience?
We then headed home. You still kept me at a distance avoiding the physical intimacy I offered. But that’s okay. It was and is still one of my best, happiest memories. So thank you for the amazing day and incredible memory.
My Unconditional Positive Regard always,
Antony
There’s much cause for excitement with me at the moment. I’m looking forward to some recent and new album releases and some TV shows.
Jake Shears has just released his new album, Last Man Dancing. I’ve got the album and am looking forward to a long drive and enjoying listening to the sound of his voice.
I’ve just learned that Stephen Lynch the musical comedian has released a new album My New Heart. I can’t wait to listen and laugh to it.
Kylie Minogue has a new album coming out, titled Tension. I’m hoping it’s better than her last couple of albums. Hoping it sounds like Kylie in the 90s.
McFly are releasing their long awaiting album titled Power to Play. I am soo excited for this release!
There’s some brilliant TV Shows out/coming out, including:
