This weekend my lovely friend took me to London for an early
(I’m a Pisces!) birthday treat: Jesus Christ Superstar at the O2 Arena and a
night in a hotel... squeal! Well, being me I couldn’t just use my usual bags
for that could I? So, first thing on Saturday morning, an hour before I had to
leave I thought it might be a good idea to finish off a small patchwork bag
that I’d been meaning to finish for a while.

Not content with that I realised I
couldn’t find my usual little blue backpack. So, using an old Roman blind my
sister had generously donated to my stash I whipped up an old school style PE
bag effort – it was supposed to be a groovy rucksack with proper shoulder straps etc, but time was short!
The show
was utterly amazing. If you get the chance, do go and see it. I’d vaguely heard of Tim
Minchin (I don’t have a telly so am not up to speed on current comedians!) and
he was brilliant as Judas; very passionate and powerful. The chap who played Jesus,
who I gather came from one of those ‘searching for’ shows was awesome (he reminded
me a little of Neil Diamond, but in a good way). Chris Moyles as Herod was good, in a kind
of panto baron way. Mel C as Mary Magdalene excellent; very
moving. It has to be one of the most powerful performances I have
ever seen. It was brought brilliantly up to date with modern clothes and backdrops
An odd
thing ~ when I turned my ignition in my car to go home at the end of all the
fun, Mel C was singing her solo from the show... slightly spooky, but great
timing on the part of Elaine Paige on Radio 2!
These are my final monthly makes for September. I've had quite a productive month compared to July and August
