It was red and yellow and violet and purple and blue....
Twas a great week last week, finished off by a great weekend! J
No work on Friday, as I had booked it off to go to Brighton to see a friend of mine, Vicky, from my days at University. Was a lovely journey down there, since I particularly like travelling on trains (but not in an anorak sort of way) and by the time I arrived the weather was really nice and warm and the sun was shining. A quick pit-stop at Vicky’s to drop off my stuff and then we wandered through town over to the sea-front for some lunch and a much needed cool beer J During lunch we decided to book tickets for that evening to go and see Boogie Nights at the Brighton Royal Theatre. The show was leaded by Antony Costa, who was formerly in the boy band Blue, and accompanied by Alvin Stardust and the guy who played Anthony, the doctor, in Eastenders. It wasn’t the best of musicals I have ever seen, but I was on holiday, so enjoyed it muchly! J
Saturday was spent roaming the streets/lanes of Brighton, spending much more than I ought to have on presents for kayw, the LM, and of course myself! Wrapped around my shopping frenzy we spent time in various bars and restaurants for lunch and the obligatory stop-offs for beer.
In the evening of Saturday, Vicky had blagged us some tickets for a night of comedy at Komedia, a place that she herself has performed stand-up comedy at before. Was a truly excellent show! The 4 acts and the compere, Rufus Hounds, were very very good! So much so that I ended up buying a cd from Brendon Burns.
After the show we met up with some of Vicky’s friends, who also perform on the stand-up circuit and joined them for a couple of beers before calling it a night.
Sunday was spent wandering around the market, buying cheap novelty stuff and talking to some guy about getting a fireplace surround delivered to Cambridge.
Eventually the Brighton trip ended, I said farewell to Vicky, and headed up north to sunny Cambridge.
When I got back to Cambridge,
kaywpicked me up from the station and upon setting my eyes on her I soon realised just why I love her so much and how much she means to me - needless to say that I missed her very much! Sunday night was spent eating pizza, watching the recording of the final episode of Any Dream Will Do and vegging out on the sofa with
kayw. And to end it all in a near perfect way, Lee Mead won the competition and will be the next Joseph!!!!
