Reading Time: < 1 minute

In April, a friend and I went to see Darren Hayes at Manchester Bridgewater Hall. We had a great time. I took loads of photos but due to the layout of the theatre and movement of the artist most came out blurry. Here are two photos that did turn out okay:

And as a special treat here are two short video clips:

Musicals

Reading Time: < 1 minute

We need things to look forward to. I am a big believer in this. For mum and I one of our loves is a good musical. We’ve recently seen Bedknobs & Broomsticks and 9 to 5. Both were seen at Manchester’s Palace Theatre and both were brilliant.

Bedknobs & Broomsticks was magical, marvellous and spectacular. Everything about it was wonderful, the cast and singing, the chorography, the costume and the props which included puppets.

9 to 5 was equally thrilling. A great cast, fantastic chorography and hilariously funny as well. It even had cameo video appearances from Dolly Parton.

And we’ve got this to look forward to in January 2023:

I love the song and the video. It features Hayes, being himself, an openly out gay man.

Me, out in the sunshine. Alert for Coronavirus.

I think 2020 will be the year known as what wasn’t, rather than what was. So many of people’s plans have been cancelled. Of course we all understand that it is essential and that keeping safe is the most important thing.

On Wednesday 13th May 20, the UK Government relaxed lockdown. Just in time for my birthday! This meant I could now meet a friend for my birthday, maintaining social distancing and go for a walk in Rivington with them. So the day after, on my birthday, that’s exactly what I did.

It was a lovely walk. The sun was out and was warm. The birds were singing. The stream flowed making a gentle gushing sound. All combined sounded like a nature meditation CD.

The 1975, one of my favourite bands released this song, which I’m absolutely addicted to. I’ve been listening to it on repeat since its release:

That’s how I spent my birthday. Take care and be safe. Write soon,
