Fame was a lot of fun last night. Nothing spectacular but enough dancing and drama that I was happy. Though, no dancing on car tops happened, what's up with that? I did have to smile though as one of the teacher characters at the very beginning states 'you won't be dancing on car tops in the street' as part of their welcome spiel. So that was me told, too.

I suspect they'd given a lot of cut-price tickets to local dance schools as the place was overrun with groups of early teen/pre-teen girls. Not that they caused any issues, just a lot of seat changing was going on, and in the interval, the group sat behind us nipped to the pub next door where screening for The Voice was going on. Whether they auditioned or just wanted to see what was going on I don't know, but they did come back for the second half if a little late.

Today we've been to the limb centre so James could get both of his legs checked. He was well overdue for an appointment, especially as he's put on weight and artificial legs have weight limits. We were there for a long time as his spare leg didn't fit at all and the one he wears now needed an overhaul. For the first hour or so I hung out in the waiting room, which was fine, I had my Kindle Fire, the chairs were comfy, there was a shop where I could get a coffee and they had a tv that was on the BBC1 channel. Then I joined James in the fitting room for the last half an hour before he got his sort-of new leg -- it has a new ankle part and a new cover, then will get the all-new one next week.

Corey lives really close to the hospital so we dropped a letter off for him, then decided to go to a nearby park for a stroll. Only to discover there was an Easter event going on and the place was rammed with families. So we ate our lunch there and drove home, where James crashed out on the couch and as it was sunny, I got some work done in the garden.

I planted some pansies that have been waiting to be transplanted for a few days and finally got my seeds in. Five varieties of tomatoes, cucumber and courgette as of now. But I discovered I didn't have any flower seeds at all, which won't do. I also weeded a bit and hosed down the path and generally pottered in the sunshine, and at that moment all was well in the world.

FAME!! I have fond memories of that TV show, more than the original movie.

I hope James' legs work out.

Enjoy your pottering in the garden! I don't think of pansies, without thinking of your story.

[turps]

Yes! I loved the show too. My favourite at the time was Danny, but I have memories of enjoying every character.

I love any and all pansies. Though sadly the weather has turned again so I may have been a bit hasty planting.

garden time *____*!

[turps]

I do love garden time.

I just wish it would warm up a bit so I could enjoy it more.

I’m glad you had fun! And that the appointment went well, boo families though!

Planting is awesome, I’m so bad it it though

Did you hear about Mikey’s new comic?

[turps]

I did have fun. But yeah, so many families out and about. I know it's to be expected in the holidays, but still!

I did hear about Mikey's comic. I'm so happy for him and hope it goes well. He obviously loves them but is always in Gerard's shadow.

[shadowhive]

I’m glad! Eep people’s!

I am too, it sounds super awesome (and revealing info about it on the day a black hole photo came out was super coincidental!) I’m glad Zgerard got him this chance I’m sure he’ll do so well with it

Yay for fun musical! And yay for better-fitting limbs! \o/

Gardening in the sun is such a joy. :D

[turps]

The musical was great.

I do enjoy gardening in the sun. Sadly it seems the sun has gone again.

I hope the new legs will serve James well!

And your garden sounds awesome. I hope you will get a good harvest, and some fun flowers too.

[turps]

If the new legs go as long as the old ones they will serve him well.

I really want it to warm up already so I can get in the garden more. The cold really is lingering this year.

Good to hear you'd fun at the theatre. Even though there wasn't any dancing on cars :-)

Hooray for a sunny day working in the garden! And for finally getting those seeds planted! But I'm shocked at the lack of flower seeds :-) Pottering in the sunshine is the BEST way to spend a day!

[turps]

There should have been dancing on cars. Surely it's a musical must?! *g*

I was shocked at the lack of flower seeds, too. I was sure I had some, but nope. Though, it's got really cold again since then. I really hope the seeds will be okay.
