Great Crack

You will probably have heard of the crack in the floor at Tate Modern - it runs the whole way through. Well I was clearing out old pictures from my phone and these came up. See how I'm using my mate Tim to give it scale. I've no idea how they did it and I assume when it's filled in you will still be able to tell it was there.

And a close-up showing some wire mesh and shaping going on.

Hello everyone Just icing my Christmas cake ,but the icing is too runny and keeps sliding off the sides. Keighlan and Tasha slept here last night as it was the Jarvis Christmas do and Tasha helped me make the mince pies. The Bennets are arriving here tomorrow so I hope the traffic is not too bad. See you all tomorrow. Joan

Christmas has arrived

Christmas has arrived, Gill and I attended Worcester Cathedral last night to go to a traditional carol concert and wonderful it was.

An excellent choir, a full house, a good selection of carols and excellent Christmas message.

I am now ready to start my Christmas shopping, whose list do I need!

Led Zeppelin in Concert - What a night!

As Bren said this blog contains many concert reviews, well this one must be one of the best I have been too, a true night to remember.

I was very lucky to be able to go; it was certainly full. To see the best group in the world play 'Since I've been loving you' and 'Dazed and Confused' my favorites plus 'Stairway to Heaven' and 'Whole lotta love' should I go on, was unbelievable. For their age it was quite an achievement.

All this talk today has made me reminisce about when I saw them back in 1972; before many of you were born. I did not see many celebrities at that one but that did not matter it was still amazing and I have the ticket, a silver Zeppelin, to remind me, that's what being mature is all about.

Ivy's blog

I think Ivy was more proficient with a PC than we ever gave her credit for.. See Ivy's blog... http://r-gmrler-ivy.blogspot.com/

I only hope there is an Internet Cafe at her training centre so she can keep us up-to date!

Cheers

Here at last

Hello everyone. The blog makes interesting reading. Thanks Steven for the blogging tips - the comment tip is very useful. Wow, Rachel, the new ship must have been quite something to see - good photos.

I took mum to see the Christmas displays at Milton Keynes on the theme of Wind in the Willows. It is well worth seeing and has delightful displays of the characters ratty, mole, badger and toad, some of them animated. A 7 feet tall badger bursts into animated life every 20 minutes. This is officially to tell a story but actually traumatises any unwary toddler standing nearby!

I can see potential in the blog for music/concert recommendations, recipe swaps, gardening tips, scrapbooking ideas, places to visit so I look forward to reading them.

Back to the Christmas cards and letters.

Queen Victoria

Hey there,

This afternoon I went to check out the new cruise liner replacing the QE2, that had just arrived in Southampton.

Here are some pics...not the best of days weather wise.

As you might have heard, I went to see Duran Duran last monday at the Lyceum Theatre. It was fantastic we were really close to the front and had a really good view. Dannie was even up boogying the night away. Mrs Le Bon stood beside us just wished I'd had my camera!

Went to see Tasha in her school choir singing to the old folks at Stopsley Baptist Church. Really got us in the christmas mood!!

Look forward to seeing you all at christmas xx

Goodbye

Dear friends,

I appreciated it that many of you came round to say goodbye and wish me luck as I go onto the next stage of my life time adventure; I didn't know that I had so many good friends. I thought I would post a picture of one of you, I hope you do not mind, I didn't get your approval first.

As those who came to see me will know I previewed my next lodgings yesterday, not bad, plenty of good activities. My only worry is that I will not be the only centre of attention!

I will keep you updated on my progress and hope to see you sometime.

Lots of love and wet kisses.

PS. If you are worried about where to send my Christmas presents; I will find out and let you know. I'm sure you can all remember what a Labrador likes?

PPS. I am sorry for all the things I stole, destroyed and buried etc, I am a puppy and only wanted to have fun. I did enjoy it though.
