My pension had some sort of rebate on it, so unexpectedly a few hundred pounds will be coming my way
I thought, I may put it towards my University fees but I’ve already contributed to that pot , so in true Gemini style I said fuck it……the lisping choir awaits.
And so I’m going to see them!!!! With the lovely orchestra and conductor Silvia Sanz Torre of course, presenting a Gala of Zarzuelas! I am off to Madrid for 48 hours to see them at The National Music Auditorium in a months time.
Hey ho
Good for you! Serendipity strikes again!
ReplyDeleteA wonderful trip to see an amazing concert! Good for you, its nice to have something to look forward to. Gigi

ReplyDeleteLee
I have to push myself every week to do something….I’m glad I do but it’s hard work, it’s something that doesn’t come naturally to me
DeleteI’m surprised , you always sound so naturally proactive
DeleteLee
Your excitement is tangible and made me smile. Have an awesome 48 hours.
ReplyDeleteI’m sooooo excited
DeleteYou only live once! Enjoy. The concert sounds terrific.
ReplyDeleteIt’s the last concert by the choir on the website

ReplyDeleteI will xx
DeleteBravo lovely Madrid!!! Ceci
ReplyDeleteIf u have any suggestions let me know
DeleteFabulous. Enjoy Madrid, a city I didn't visit. Post some photos.
ReplyDeleteI just thought fuck it…I adored Barcelona so I needed to tick the capital off my list
DeleteSieze the day!
ReplyDeleteThe stars aligned, there were tickets available, I was on days off, there were flights, bingo
DeleteReceiving unexpected money seems to be your super power! Enjoy! - Jenn
ReplyDeleteI can spend it just as fast that’s another superpower lol

ReplyDeleteHow absolutely fantastic! I can feel your excitement from here. xx
ReplyDelete💃🏻
DeleteA wise decision, good for you!
ReplyDeleteThat's so exciting! Hope you get great pleasure from just the anticipation as well as the experience.
ReplyDeleteOh I am already
DeleteI love a fuck it moment!
ReplyDeleteI don’t have enough of them
DeleteVery envious! Enjoy every minute, you've earned it!
DeleteIf you have time try to get to the Prado art gallery museum.
ReplyDeleteI agree with JayCee. See Picasso's "Guernica" and "The Garden of Earthly Delights" by Hieronymus Bosch.
DeleteYes! A good decision...while you can do things, do them !!
ReplyDeleteAnd why not, indeed!
ReplyDeleteYes! What a brilliant decision! I rarely comment, but I want you to know that reading your blog is one of the highlights of my day. Your honesty, which is so rare in this social media world, and the eclectic mix of topics is wonderful! Thank you PennyL x
ReplyDeleteOh how exciting! Remember when you’re in Madrid that not just the choir will be lisping!
ReplyDeleteWhat fun!
ReplyDeleteFabulous! What a great way to take advantage of your unexpected windfall. (If it can be called that.)
ReplyDeleteMagical - I believe the Universe is returning the good you do John x
ReplyDeleteYaaaay! Nice!
ReplyDeleteGood for you, I hope you enjoy every lisping minute. :-)
ReplyDeleteMadrid, how exciting, have fun, create these memories while we can. There is a good train from the airport into central Madrid, it is a longer ride than you expect but a good value. Lots of big dramatic paintings in the Prado Museum.
ReplyDeleteAnd please John ,if you see « The Grey House »by Marc Chagal at the Thyssen-Bornemisza Museum in Madrid , think to me even if we don’t know each other. One of paintings I should love to have at home.Writing this I realize that the house almost bears your name! ( involuntary) Catherine
DeleteI promise I will
DeleteHave fun, John! Safe travels. xx
ReplyDeleteWhat a treat!! Enjoy for us all.
ReplyDeleteI don’t know. I think a savings account might be a better gift
ReplyDeleteGood for you x
DeleteWell done! I wish I'd done this more frequently in the past -- those opportunities/places no longer exist.
ReplyDeleteBloody good job.
ReplyDeleteJust wonderful. Enjoy and report back to us.
ReplyDeleteMost excellent! Hope the trip connections are flawless and your time away is sheer joy!! Also happy dancing, of course.
ReplyDeleteHugs!
Serendipity. Have a great time !!
ReplyDeleteI hope to x
DeleteLOVE that you are going! Cannot wait to hear about the adventure.
