Sweet Caroline !!

Last night dh and I drove up to the O2 Centre in London to see Neil Diamond. We've never been to the O2 before and it was so much better than we thought it would be. It's vast, and was a bit like a small village in a huge tent. Apparently there are 548 toilets in there! Lots of restaurants and a huge cinema.

It was rammed with people and we managed to meet some friends for a quick drink before we went in, and then separated off to find our seats. You're technically not allowed to take a camera, but hey this is my phone!! Our seats were terrific, just above the stage and boy, am I glad we weren't at the top which was extremely high up!

Every seat was full by the time it started. Although I was going to be quite sensible I'm afraid I leapt up and cheered with them all when he came on stage. All I can say was it was absolutely fantastic, we sang, cheered and clapped for two hours solid with no intermission. I can't possible decide which bit I enjoyed most, but have to say that Sweet Caroline had the whole place rocking and screaming for more. I had a lump in my throat when he sang love On The Rocks, it was so beautiful. Dh beared up well ;0)

Pics aren't very good as we were all sneakily taking them while a handful of security men tried to stop a million middle aged women using their phones!! I think they secretly looked a bit scared myself. Our nearest security man unfortunately tried to tell off the crowd to his left and promptly all the phones were out on his right. As he spun round all the people to his left promptly took out theirs! It was a loosing battle, but the poor lad tried his best.

So, today my feet are killing me but it was sure worth it, and I've been singing all day!
