Updates and OOH Teddy

Aunty doreen has had her tests which seemed ok, but i found out last night from my cousin that she has pneumonia and some after effects of carbon monoxide poisoning which is still in her system from about a year and half ago can't believe it is still there, i urge anyone with older relations to purchase a detector for them. Anyway she was due home so we thought, but she had told the doctors that there would be someone looking after her at home as my cousins both work full time there is no way that they can be there so i am waiting to hear what is going on thought it was to good to be true. So i will be on tenterhooks when the phone rings
I am getting a lift up to kent tomorrow as i have meetings with mums hospital to see if she will be coming home next week, been trying to get things in place for when mum does get home she needs a telecare necklace which is an alarm in case of falls but they won't do that until she is home as she has to be taught how to use it, as i am not sure when she will be home so i cannot make any appointments with them to come and fit it! so i think i will be a busy little bee going from place to place this week!
Last week we went to exeter to see Teddy Thompson probably doesn't meen a lot to some of you out there , he is a bit folky, bit country ,bit rocky play his stuff quite a bit. thought we would leave around 1.30 to do a bit of shopping and have a meal out before the concert, bought a lovely new jacket electric blue tired of always wearing dark colours really pleased with it. shopping done we headed for a meal we did an early bird special in a ceoliac friendly resaurant two courses for £13.95 really nice i had leek and feta gallette with truffle oil, tony had beetroot and tomatoe soup followed by slow roasted blade of beef with garlic mash cor it was yummy! The concert was great got to stand right at the front three foot away from the stage oh yea the support act was Tifft Merrit american singer songwriter she was excellent Pete you would have loved her! Teddy was great did all my favourite songs and i managed to get the setlist as well! it was good to get out and forget the worries for a while. a perfect day

Happy news

Where has the time gone again!
Heard some great news yesterday, my best friends daughter gave birth to a little boy jamie sam 6lb 9oz almost two weeks early but all fine, so i will be up in essex next week so will be able to see him ah can't wait.

We went out friday to a quaint old pub in bude with friends, there were 10 of us in the end, had a lovely meal we had heard the portions were large so just went for main courses, i had homemade steak and kidney pie yum and it was delicious and very large, tony had lamb, the choices were very good, tony is ceoliac, our friend is veggie and one very fussy eater so i think everyone was catered for very well. Meal over then the group played in this most tiny space, fiddle ,mandolin, 12 string guitar, bass,and mouth organ they were really good , not youngsters by any means but they played so well together traditional irish folk songs with a few requests thrown in, they played until 1.am nothing to pay for the entertainment it was a great evening, we then went back to our friends house for cheese and biccies finally got to bed at 3.am . Saturday had a late cooked breakfast then back home at around three then collapsed for two hours sleep, can't hack these late nights any more! good laugh though. We sang so much we now have sore throats.

Been watching glastonbury on tv, neil diamond was very good , amy winehouse was a joke, she needs some help, such a talent when she wants to be . It is a good way of seeing bands that you would not maybe go and buy a cd of. Sooner watch it on tv than to be there.
Tony and our daughter are off to watch neil young next sunday at an open air concert in kent good luck to them with the weather we have been having lately.
We have also got tickets to see K T tunstall at the eden project at the end of july, the atmosphere there is very good especially when darkness comes with all the bioms lit up it is quite an amazing sight, we also saw Peter Gabriel there last year. So you can see we love our music willing to listen to anything. Oh yes and an elbow concert in october. give them a listen they are really good.
Post some new york piccies soon
