Madness

On the 13th of December I finally got my birthday (which was in October) present from Ollie, I got to see Madness live! We drove to Birmingham to see them as they were performing in the LG Arena.

The concert was great. Extremely packed in the front row but that's what you'd expect. Ok, the intensity surprised me a bit. We stayed the night in this lovely B&B nearby in Bickenhill. Our next door neighbour was a horse! A horse!!! I was very excited about that. I would show you some photos if I hadn't broken my phone. Again.

I have such bad luck with phones. This one had some moisture get inside it on a rainy day, I dried it and it worked perfectly - until a couple weeks ago, when the screen just died. It looks like it's not coming back to life. Sigh.

The Christmas is coming! It's that time of the year when everyone wants to annoy their neighbours as much as they can by putting as much Christmas decorations and lights on their house as they can. I've got to say the migraine-triggering flashing bright lights first just amused me. Now I wonder how anyone can stand looking at their own house just flashing away, day and night, causing epileptic seizures to the passers-by.

Yes, there is such thing as too much decorations ;P

Now I've got the complaining out of the way, I can't wait for my first Christmas abroad! Christmas crackers, presents on the 25th instead of the Christmas Eve, turkey, no Santa Claus, mince pies...

I'm excited like a kid on Christmas. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
