The Proms and the Painting
A few months ago, I spotted a mention of the Last Night of the Proms event on the BBC website. One of the concerts was in our town, and it was free… so I ordered some tickets 
Although the event didn’t start until 8, the gates were to open at 6.30; we took a picnic and arrived at about 5.40 to find we were about 200th in line. We got a fabulous place to set up our chairs and picnic blanket and waited for the show to start - and it was so worth it 
The weather was glorious, the music was wonderful and the atmosphere was buzzing - a thoroughly good night. Toby got tired and cross about the lights that were shining in his eyes, so I nursed him and he fell asleep. Scratchy took him home, along with Freddy, who had got grumpy because I turned down his request for yet another packet of crisps, and who arrived home and threw up 
Barney, George, Jack and I stayed until the end of the show and watched the (excellent) fireworks display. George said, “I thought it would all be just one boring tune but it wasn’t, it was great!” Barney said, “Orchestral music isn’t half as bad as it is on the radio!” 
Scratchy had taken a taxi home with Freddy and Toby, since we figured it would be more difficult to get one after the show, so we went off in search of the car, which Scratchy had parked it while we’d waited in the line to get in. It took us a while to find it, since it was not where he told me it was - not even in the same car-park!
We eventually found it and came home - exhausted, but happy 
We’d a late start this morning - unsurprisingly - but I’ve finished painting the powder-room and started and finished painting the master bathroom. Apparently that slump is over
In: cute stuff they say/do, family, life, outings and adventures, social stuff
