I’m quite excited and yet I can’t help but feel I should be hiding my excitement as I’m not sure that a man of my advanced years should be admitting to what I’m about to admit to. Now, you may think that my revelation that I liked Wham was revelation enough, “How could Mr Omneo top that?” you may well ask. Well, in case you decided not to ask that question I shall just imagine you did and answer it for you. Read the rest of this entry »
Wowsers! What a night I had tonight… I wouldn’t ordinarily say such a thing as it’s a pretty bold statement but readers… I have had an amazing night! Tonight, I, Mr Omneo, had the pleasure of being entertained for almost 3 hours musically by Mr Leonard Cohen!! OK, so it wasn’t exactly an intimate affair, Lenny didn’t pop round to mine for a bowl of chicken noodle soup but he did sing his little old heart out at the O2 Arena, no less than 26 songs did the man perform… not bad for a 74 year old!
I’ve started to appreciate I’m at an age where the body is failing. Aches and pains fill my days and the nights are sleepless, it won’t be long before old Father Time pays me a visit and puts me out of my misery… or I could stop winging and get on with living, sometimes it just feels like a long, Rip Van Winkle style sleep would be preferable!
So, what’s been happening I hear you ask? Well, I’ve had a house guest. Yana from Moscow came back to London to stay with Mr McPot. When i heard this news I wasn’t sure who was crazier, her for returning or him for agreeing to let her stay with him for 2 weeks. I mean come on… 2 weeks?! In the end I think they managed 7 or 8 days, still quite impressive if you ask me. Rather than leave her to the mercy of over-priced London hotels I offered her the use of my living room and the guest bed, the best £40 I ever spent it seems.
