... yesterday. Took myself to the theatre. Sunny Afternoon, the Kinks story. You've got to have been a fan and like/d them, both now and back in the day. Theatre Royal hasn't put on a panto for a few years now, instead they've put on alternative 'family' shows. Have to say I think they've failed this year. Enjoyable as it was it's not really a show I'd like to take younsters to and for one reason only ... the language. Quite a few profanities used and, although it's to keep things real, it's not language I'd like our little ones to hear because of us. They hear enough without parents or grandparents seeming to condone it's use. Old fashioned idea??? Probably but there is no need of it, to my mind. Having said that, the show is excellent. The language relevant, to keep it real, and the lads taking the parts are excellent in their roles. Certainly a trip down Memory Lane for me.
Night had fallen when I left the theatre (I did a matinee) so thought I'd take a look at Brighton's Christmas lights, such as they are. Quite pretty, especially Bond Street and around the Clock Tower ...

Mid November - a very special weekend, craftwise. The 2nd full weekend of crafting hosted by John Bloodworth for his All Counties Challenge in aid of MIND. This weekend was different to the April/May one in that we had to choose our workshops from a selection. John was dedicating his time to teaching the Scan & Cut (his forté) but to support him and for those of us that don't own a machine there was Leonie Pujol (using her own range), Paula Pascual (Tonic Studios), Jenny Meyes (Hobby Art), Sarah Milsop (Beads Direct) and Dean Wilson (DIY). John's report of the weekend is here
Kim & I chose Leonie, Paula and Jenny as our choices for the weekend. The results .
 |
| Leonie's - backgrounds with sparkle pens and some mixed media |
 |
| Paula's - crepe paper flower, tissue flowers and wreath, card - all using Tonic products |
 |
| Jenny's - using Hobby Art stamps, Kuretake Zig Clean Color Real Brush pens and other 'stuff' - loved those pens |
...
.Great weekend and learnt a lot. Waiting for the next one to be announced now *wink*
