We saw Paloma Faith on Wednesday at the Liverpool Philharmonic. It was my dad’s idea, as he likes a few of her singles (New York and Stone Cold Sober) – I do like her voice and her music but not enough to go and see her live – but seeing her live has definitely converted me into a fan. She was brilliant! I hadn’t heard most of the album songs but I still enjoyed them just as much as the more popular numbers. I’ve since been listening to her full album.
I especially enjoyed Romance Is Dead, where she pulled someone from the audience and serenaded them. Such a pretty song too, probably my favourite from her album. Doesn’t look like anyone’s uploaded this song from Liverpool, but here’s the same song at a Dublin gig:
I also loved the remixed version of Do You Want The Truth or Something Beautiful? – again, can’t find a video from Liverpool but here’s the same song:
She was supported by Elviin, who was also impressive. I bought his CD (since it was only £2!)
The weather has been fantastic this weekend (it actually went above 20c) so I’ve been out shopping in Southport today. I bought these cute heels from TK Maxx:
I also tried to buy Red Dead Redemption, but everywhere is sold out. It’s getting amazing reviews, so I’ll be ordering it off Amazon if I don’t spot it while I’m shopping next week.
I have next week off from work so I might just update here more than once!
I’m going try and update here at least once a week, hopefully on Friday nights. Vince takes over the TV then anyway. Even if I have nothing interesting to say, I’ll find something to update about.
This weekend we’re probably going to the Manchester Museum of Science and Industry, which should be fun. I don’t think I’ve ever been before, maybe when I was a kid. I’m looking forward to seeing the Planetarium and they seem to have a lot about all the local train history which will be interesting. I haven’t been to a science museum for years! Hopefully the weather will be good too.
This week I went swimming for the first time in ages. I enjoyed it, but I was knackered after 15 minutes. So I’m planning to go once a week from now on to build my stamina and fitness up. I wouldn’t mind losing some weight too. I’d go more often but I can’t fit it in~ I leave for work too early in the morning to swim then, and I get in around 18:45 so I hardly have time then either. I’ll see how I get on next week! The pool is only a 5 minute drive from where I live so I was planning to have a 30-45 minute swim every week – then I still have the rest of the evening to relax~
So it was the Election results day in the UK today. I’m pretty disappointed with the results, I thought the Lib Dems would’ve got a lot more seats than they did. I’m also surprised the Tories got as many as they did. But I suppose a hung parliament is as interesting as it gets.
Thinking of buying The Sims 3 and putting it on my MacBook. I’ve never played a game on my Mac before, but I imagine it’ll handle it pretty well. I’ve always loved playing The Sims
I should start posting more pictures here – at least then I’d have something more interesting to talk about!
