My hubby is going tomorrow night again too - taking the 9yr old, he is rock music mad and is itching to go see Linkin Park, well we thought we'd treat him to the best of the best.

Well yes, you could say "at least you have a job" but you also have a life, regardless if you think so or not, so start living it Hun.

Like I always say, work gets in the way of my social life

So apart from The Wall, this is the other fab thing I saw this week - a Sand Mandala, never come across them before, and it was fascinating - it like a mosaic, made totally from sand which is poured out of a kind of thin metal cone. Made by Tibetan monks, and the sheer concentration they were displaying while we were watching was amazing.

What does that mean ?

I'm going to show the wife those Sand Mandalas when she gets back from her Art Course. Interesting and fascinating work.
