Salvation Army Christmas

I was so happy to see this on so snapped up tickets for me, Clare and Angela. Turns out we went three years ago and I hated it. Clare has looked this up two weeks ago and thought not to mention it, I had no memory of it. Anyway, they didn’t properly play to their brass band strengths and (the sacrilege!) played an instrumental, swing version of the calypso carol. Seeing as that is the only reason I go, I’m writing this off my agenda in the future (if only I can remember).

Than home for roast dinner, wine, Christmas planning, Clare’s big birthday planning. And clare and I swapped woolly hats so now it’s like we both have a new hat.

BUT THE HIGHLIGHT!! Some random called Lawrence rang up. Apparently he is a British Gas engineer and will be with us at midday tomorrow. As an eternal optimist, I find this hugely exciting until I remember all the crap they have put us through in recent times. Then i remember what an optimist I am. All will be well.
