Meeting Simon Cowell!

Last week was a pretty quiet one. I had a publicity meeting for my opera club to start preparing for our show this year - Oklahoma! It will be running from 21st - 25th October 2008, let me know if you fancy coming. I managed the gym, spin class and swiss ball so did OK exercise-wise. It was my sister-in-law Diane's birthday on Tuesday so I sent her a nice John Rocha top which will have to be saved for her post-pregnancy wear. I'm very excited now about becoming an auntie again although I'm much better with kids when they are toddlers rather than babies. My nephew Xander is at a great age just now especially when he tries to say things like triangle - tri-on-galong-galong-galong!!
Friday night was a quiet one, watching TV which was great. We had a traditional burns supper and recited my mum's brilliant Burns poem - she's very talented! On Saturday Ross and I went to our favourite bar Vroni's and decided to try the food. Normally we only go there to drink - they do the best cava and if we are feeling flush or celebrating something we will treat ourselves to a bottle of pink Laurent Perrier. Put it this way, we very rarely leave sober! Anyway, the food menu was basic but great for Saturday lunch. Mostly it's baked potatoes and paninis but I went for the most adventurous sounding dish - Indonesian prawn curry - and it was delicious and nicely washed down with a shared bottle of cava!
On Sunday I caught up with my friend Clare and went to the comedy club The Stand. Every time I go to The Stand I remember what a fun night it is, some of the comedians are great (and very brave!). The only downside was that it was a Sunday so I limited myself to one magners.
Monday was an exciting day as Donna and I had managed to blag tickets for the audience on the Britain's Got Talent auditions in Glasgow. We saw Amanda Holden, Piers Morgan, Simon Cowell, Ant & Dec and other famous faces so it was a laugh. Plus I shook Simon's hand and he called me 'Sweetheart'!!! That's my best claim to fame so far! Turns out Scotland has very little talent whatsoever but be sure to watch the show later this year and you might see us waving like loony's in the audience!
