I am going to be 31 on Sunday 8 July. Quite fancy a nice afternoon tea party with candy coloured cupcakes and pots of preserves to go with scones. This would be following my first festival attendance (I know, a virgin at my age!) at the nice low-key, eco-friendly Blissfields in Alton mostly to see Plastic Toys on the Saturday night.
HOWEVER, it turns out Metallica are playing Wembley that day! At £65 a ticket its not a cheap option, but one I am pretty much guaranteed to enjoy. But MY GOD that's expensive. I could replace most of my bras for that amount (please note this is not because I have a large number of bras, but that the ones I can buy are priced as triumphs of engineering, not clothing)
But it is Metallica. Legends.
I have to do something to improve on last year. My 30 crisis peaked in spectacular fashion (and all apologies to
thereallj who had to deal with me on the day.)
