Saturday 20th February - ELO

As it was a sunny day, we walked up to town. We had a look around the toy shop first. We hadn't been there since it had moved. There's some good stuff in there. We also went to the book shop nearby too. I must remember to look out for the Haunted Castle book again some time. We bumped into Bernie and then we all went to MacDonalds for MacDinner! We like MacDinner. Afterwards, we went to the jewellers, a few other book shops and HMV. In Waterstone's I saw a book that one of the girls at work would find useful as she had mentioned that she might be getting a laptop at home but I think I would have been in trouble if I bought it for her. It was called Laptop Basics for the Over 50s!

On the way home, we went into the pet shop in Beaver Road as we often do so that Dave can brood over the snakes. We were both fascinated by the African Pygmy Hedgehogs. We spoke to the owners about life expectancy and other care. They gave us an interesting care sheet. They would make a really good pet. Our only reservations about getting one are the costs and if we could get someone to look after them if we were away.

In the evening, we went to the Sinden Theatre in Tenterden to see “The ELO Experience”. They are a brilliant tribute band. Kat came too which was surprising. She said that she enjoyed watching us more than what was going on down on the stage. She only recognised one of their songs and there was one other that she said she “liked”!! I think that was “Wild West Hero”. Dave sung the whole way through. Guess he'll have a sore throat in the morning.
