Well, I wasn’t keen on going to the Take That concert to say the least. I didn’t want kp to know as she would have felt guilty asking me to come along.

But………….it was ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC !

We all thoroughly enjoyed it and Take That were brilliant. Their showmanship was awesome. Their show was funny, exciting and the music as good, if not better than ever. They had done different arrangments for the songs and they were very catchy. It was just incredible.

At one point a 200 feet long walkway and second stage came down from the ceiling and they played songs within spitting distance of us (lots of Beatle numbers).

Jane, Adele and Karen thoroughly enjoyed it too. And it was great to see Karen tapping along and laughing out loud when they started doing the same dances they did 10 years ago.

We all had a great night, and I doubt I will ever see a concert in my lifetime of such high quality and entertainment. It’s a shame Lulu wasn’t there (and Robbie of course). But Beverly Knight did a good job !

Here are some photos of the night………..

First of all, while we were getting kp ready, it was clear she had caught the sun BIG TIME !

Here is kp waiting for the show to start. Very excited !

Here is Jane, equally (if not more) excited…..

I was more interested in the workings of the show……..I spotted this huge walkway and stage stuck to the ceiling and was wondering if it would come down…..The stage is more easily visible (with its 4 legs), but I have had to brighten the walkway bit….

They used it to perform Beatle’s numbers…

At half time, Jane took kp out for some fresh air. Jane has a gammy leg, and the wheelchair (with kp in it) nearly laid Jane flat on her face and Jane had to run as best she could so she didn’t fall.

Also, at half-time, the campest looking skinhead (with a Take That T-shirt on) came over to kp and started talking to her. I thought she must know him, but a worried glance at me confirmed that she didn’t.

He was bigger than me, but I was ready to “offer him out”.
He was asking Karen if he could sit in her wheelchair.

Karen:- No, you can’t. B+++er off.

He duly left.

Karen:- He said that I have the best seat in the house and he wanted it.

He was a good laugh actually.

Cracking Night

We got chips on the way home and all slept like babies.

So, we all had a cracking night’s sleep.

I was up early (5.30am) walking the dogs, and got kp up at 8am as she had a doctor’s appointment at 8.40am.

kp:- Where am I ?

You’re in bed.

kp:- It’s not “get up” time is it ?

dp:- Yes, love, sorry

She had just been dreaming and was very confused when she woke up. Doctor’s over, we returned to have breakfast with Jane and Adele before they scooted off and then it was straight back to bed, before Karen’s boss (Colin) and Personnel Manager (Linda) came. We were expecting them at 12pm, they arrived at 11.15am.

Poor kp didn’t know if she was coming or going.

We had a nice chat with them and some laughs as well.

Then it was hydrotherapy time. Here is kp in the pool, not the best of photos I am afraid….

And a little bit of video footage. I have to be careful to respect other patient’s privacy, so getting shots with only kp on is a bit tricky.

She loves it. She felt the session was too short today.

That’s it for today. Going to see bathrooms tomorrow.
