On Saturday I turned 35 and I thought that I would just be having a normal birthday, going to the pub with my friends and having a jolly good laugh. Well the craziness of this week started on Wednesday when I was out for another friend’s birthday. My boyfriend decided to propose to me and I very gladly accepted. We were both incredibly drunk so in the morning I thought I should check that he did actually mean it, which he did. Thursday was a day of excited texting. In the evening I had to go to a work’s do which included ‘entertainment and education’. It was at the Queen’s Hotel, a very swish affair with yummy food and really nice wine. After this my boss thought she should buy me a proper drink (a pint of ale for me please) to celebrate my birthday and engagement. We were all having a very pleasant time when my colleague falls over in a very spectacular fashion. It was so funny. Another late night home.
Friday was the anniversary of myself and Billy meeting and yet again we were out with friends. They all got very excited about the engagement. We didn’t get too drunk this time as we had a long journey the next day which was my birthday. I was going to see Muse at Wembley Stadium.
I got up feeling very bouncy and made fried egg sandwiches for breakfast, oh they were so nice. We caught the bus into town but were rather a bit too early for the coach so we went to a jewellery shop just to have a look at rings. I saw one I loved so Billy said I should try it on. I tried it on, it was a little bit too small but it has been paid for and it’s being altered as we speak. Then we got on the coach and we were on our way to Wembley. My head was buzzing, too many things to think about! But then we were at Wembley Stadium, the journey was so quick and hassle free. I was quite excited to see the new Wembley arch and have decided that I really quite like the new Stadium. They have thought it through really well, and everything just seems to run very smoothly. We never had to wait in queues for anything as they have loads of bars and food halls. The prices were good too, £3.50 for a pint and £8.00 for fish, chips and a coke. We were in and out watching the bands, Rodrigo y Gabriela, Dirty Pretty Things and The Streets. I bought a t-shirt, hat and badges and was quite calm until The Streets finished.
Then we sat as we watched the roadies sort out the stage, it seemed like hours. It seemed to get darker just as Muse were to come on and then bang! The music started and Muse came up through the stage with dry ice and small foil pieces surrounding them. They walked onto the stage and went right into Knights Of Cydonia. The crowd exploded and I cried. They carried on being amazing, exciting, explosive, colourful and totally Muse for the next 1 1/2 hours and I sang my little heart out. Words really can’t describe it. Then it was home time.
Sunday I spent with my family as Billy went to his dad’s for fathers’ day. We had a really nice lunch and my mum actually came too which is something that has never happened, she doesn’t like to eat out for some reason. Then I came home and relaxed with Dr Who. Wow, how fantastic was that? I so can’t wait for next week. And Jekyll, I liked it but found the climbing up the wall thing a bit daft.
So now I have the day off to recharge my batteries, thank god! I’m still finding it all a bit weird but in a very good way. I shall be wanting very little excitement for the next few weeks I think.
