I am so tired! I have been working 14 hour days the past few weeks and at the weekends I have had quite a bit to do or made plans – which I end up regretting as all I want to do is sit!

This Saturday however, I have the day-off, I am not doing anything! I refused to go the pub Friday night so I not hungover the next day and I have also refused to do anything in the daytime on the Saturday.

I am just going to have a big lie-in, catch up on all my TV programmes that I have missed like Glee and Desperate Housewives and chill! I will be like a rechargeable battery getting ready for the next week!

Arrrrrrgh! Such a stressful day.
Today has genuinely almost taken me to breaking point. I have been up all hours working then had to come straight back home to sort out the kids with hardly even a stop off hour for some lunch or even a coffee. I never knew being an adult was going to be this hard otherwise I would have run away to Netherland and never grown up. This week really is going to kill me,, so little to do and in so little time and to make it all worst, Geoff has decided that he is goiong to get fired from his job. So basically, I’m going to have to work even ten times harder than before and I really don’t know what my breaking point is going to be here. Nor do I want to find out. This is killing me.
I just wish that I could find my own Private Cloud and run away.

Ok. This might not seem like the most common choice for me a 50 year old heterosexual man to be going to see at the theatre but, lets just call it a guilty pleasure.
I first saw the film when I was courting my first wife and I have to admit I did love it. Yes it is cheesy but it has become such an iconic film of that time and also my life at the point that I have continued to love the film.
It’s just so wonderfully bad that its brilliant.
With this in mind I took my niece to see the theatre show Aldywch Theatre and have to say that the production was brilliant. I have never seen the movie on stage before but it is definitely recommended if you did enjoy the film – even if you don’t want to admit it.

30 years ago, Pink Floyd were the most influential bands to walk the Earth, I remember sitting in my local pub with friends and listening to classics like Dark Side of The Moon and Wish You Were Here from start to finish on the old vinyl juke box.
The Wall was one of the bands greatest masterpieces, an inspiring album that was about the politics of the time, breaking out, being your own person and struggling with youth. The album made a great impression on me that I never forgot.
When the album was made into a theatrical live show I knew I had to see it but unfortunately the show only ever saw four cities before it closed. It was one of the great disappointments of my youth. But this year the show is back, led by none other than Roger Waters himself. If at any time this show and album was more relevant with its tails of struggle it is now. Long live The Floyd.
