Pic of the week 24/9/23
So last night it was a trip up to Cardiff to see Deacon Blue. It was, needless to say, brilliant.
It was in the Cardiff Arena, Becky had gone up the day before and stayed with Sophie before meeting her old school friend Mel, and her husband Ade, I went up on Saturday afternoon and met them at Zizi’s for a meal
Deacon Blue were their own support act – coming on at 8pm to play a 40 minute acoustic set, this was good, better than any support act you’ve never heard of would have been. Then after a twenty minute break they came back for the main event, playing for just short of 2 hours and belting out all the hits. For me, the second of four encore songs – Dignity – was the highlight of the evening, a brilliant song belted out with passion by the crowd and band together.
A really fantastic evening, was so worth going (and made easier by staying at Sophie’s flat overnight – meaning in bed by midnight-ish, a good night’s sleep, breakfast and then a leisurely trip home)
Bloods
In other important news this week. I had my blood test on Wednesday and the results have come in via my app, Slightly mixed feelings – although probably more because I don’t know how to interpret my results. On the one hand, my HDL level is up to 1.4 – this is the good cholesterol and needs to above a 1.0, so this is good, and my HDL ratio of 4.4 is also good, but it seems that my “bad” cholesterol is still too high, although it has come down significantly. Don’t know if I will get called to see the doc, will have to wait and see.
