Well - if I was exhausted by school & life last week, that was a walk in the park compared to our weekend. If nothing else, I am now officially the 'coolest mother' amongst Lucy's friends for having to sit through (read endure...) Jayz for an hour or more. I alternated between covering my eyes from the strobe lighting every 8 seconds for 6 seconds (can produce a migraine in a flash) and sticking my fingers in my ears every 12 seconds as the sound was so loud and faintly distorted. It was all pointless because I had got myself so excited at the prospect of seeing Chris that I already had a migraine anyway...
"Why, on earth did you not come out and get a drink with Anth and me?" asked Matthew, absolutely astounded at me sitting through it all.
Well there was a perfect explanation to that. You see our seats were just 5 or 6 rows from the roof of Wembley Stadium. Yes the actual roof, and upon climbing the eeenormous mountain of steps I knew that there would be no popping out to go to the loo or to get drinks as I would never make it back up again. So there I waited for my beloved Chris - whilst trying to work out who was who as everyone on stage looked like tiny worker ants! And what about Coldplay?
They were fantastic and even though it was heartbreaking being so far away it did help me to focus on the music as we couldn't really see anything anyway. I did at one point think of yelling of my love for him but it would have been a lost cause so I'll save it for next time. We finally got back to Matthew's house at 2am and then I couldn't sleep until after 3am and I was woken at 6am....
So I start the week even more tired than I ended the last one - but at least I'm now known as the coolest mum in Devon! For now, at least..
