Blogging again, to finish a couple of bits I was going to say last night.

On Saturday in Ambleside, there was a moment while we were walking through the tennis court/bowling green/crazy golf park and I had a song going round and round in my brain which I think is a totally epic song and stirs up so much good emotion in me, and it fitted in perfectly with the day. It's One Day Like This by Elbow, and I'm going to put two links to it here, the first is the official music video, and the second is an immense live performance with the BBC orchestra. I'm putting them both because I think the vocals at the beginning of the live one are a bit off because they're a bit quiet, so this way you get a bit of a choice!

I think this would be a great song to have at a wedding, maybe walking down the aisle at the end.

Another great song while I'm thinking, I heard this this morning completely by accident when my mp3 player was on shuffle, it's called Sleep All Day by Jason Mraz. I think this is the sort of song that can make me feel happy and chilled even on a Monday morning. This version is an acoustic live version, although there are fuller band versions on youtube, I think there is real beauty in the simplicity here.

Another song to look out for that made my motorway journey so much more bearable was Friday I'm in Love by the Cure. Can't find any very good videos on youtube but look on itunes or similar because it's great.

We've just been tonight for our family photo session at Eileen Mason's, which we got Mum and Dad for their 30th wedding anniversary. Mike who helped on my pictures was our photographer and it was really good fun, mainly because we got to tickle Matt, and Mum got to tickle Dad, and no one got to tickle me. Although they're definitely more ticklish than me, they were both lying on the floor all helpless and giggling. Very funny. We're going to view them on the 9th.

Right, done for now!
