Shit! It's Christmas Eve already! I like Christmas Eve, my Mum and Dad were married on this day I bet that was dead romantic at the time.
Well presents are bought, ready to be wrapped. Stuff delivered to the North East yesterday, cards posted, texts sent and emails written. Guess I can relax...but not today, there's more gigs to do!
Last night's gig in Durham was superb. It was at one of my favourite hotels, The Ramside Hall. As I arrived and had my pre-match pint I listened to the carol singers (dressed in Victorian garb) and watched couples eating and generally being merry. Of course the sense of loneliness descended on me in a matter of seconds, but I wasn't going to let that spoil my enjoyment of the surroundings and the lovely pint of Adnams ale. The gig was a small corporate do for an engineering company based in County Durham. The set up made it very easy as they were all sat around one big table. The guests consisted of management and their spouses including 5 guests from Japan (who incidentally spoke perfect English but did have a bit of difficulty understanding my Mackem accent!). An encore, a pint and then back down the A1, nothing to it really, but the sight and sounds of those people enjoying themselves in my home county stayed with me all the way home *sighs*
Merry Christmas to my fellow Bloggers (writers and readers) I hope Christmas brings all you wish for.
FTM!
