Middle of September already!!!

Here we are and it is the middle of September already, it is my "littlest's" birthday on Sunday, he will be 25 - he says he is getting old now - a quarter of a century!!!!

I am going to see James Last on Sunday with my mum, my sister and my friend Chris. My mum has been asking me to find a concert she could go to see him for the last few years, but he hasn't done any that she could get to. So when she read that he was coming to England for his "farewell tour" this year she tried to get tickets through a coach company. They couldn't guarantee that they could get a ticket with no steps, as she has difficulties with too many steps - so she was resigned to the fact that she wouldn't get to see him.

So I surfed the net, and found some tickets at Manchester MEN for Sunday night, I rang and they had 4 tickets in the disabled section, so I bought them.

Had a phone call from my sister about 2 hours ago, to say that my mum isn't well, she has a bad chest. My sister is going to see her, as I am in work, and is going to try to persuade her to go to the doctors, but I know my mum won't go!!!!

I just hope that she is well enough to go on Sunday.....

Chris and I started another on line photography course again last week, we are trying to learn about Aperture priority photography at the moment, so we had a play last night, I took about 100 photos of her living room, using different Apertures, Shutter speeds and ISO settings!!! I haven't looked at them all yet, but I would think almost all of them will be rubbish :)

Have given up on the Acupuncture for my knee, everything started off fine, I definitely found it a help to begin with, but recently I have had more pain - enough sometimes to take a painkiller, which I don't like taking!!!!!

Got to go now, will try to post some photos from the photography course in the next couple of days......

Middle of September already!!!
