Still up there somewhere with the Rocket Man

Well, it's Thursday, and I'm still grinnning!!

Elton John was absolutely brilliant. We had fantastic seats, and it was a warm summers evening just perfect for listening to live music outdoors! Our lovely friends took the girls to their house overnight, so we had a whole evening together, out, with no worries about getting home for the babysitters: bliss. What price that freedom eh?

Elton started with 'Benny and the Jets', and then played pretty much every one of my favourite songs: Philadelphia Freedom, Daniel, I'm Still Standing, and loads more. He was on stage for 2 1/4 hours, and boy can he really belt them out! . Actually, between you and I, I was quite overcome with emotion: the realisation that I was listening to what has formed the background soundtrack to my entire life to date, live, right in front of me brought a tear to my eye (thank goodness for those sunglasses I was wearing!).

Not a night to be forgotten in a hurry, that's for sure!

The scrapbook layout should be interesting too: a couple of rubbish photos taken with my camera phone (yes, I was the ONLY person in the entire stadium who actually bothered to read the 'no cameras' notice, what a wally!), and probably the most emotional journalling that I will have attempted to date. Oh, and some rather fabulous tickets. Watch this space!
