Hey Stephen - your posts are refreshing and jolly, and your poetry is exquisite.
A big thankyou to DramaLlama & Changemylife for visiting my diary. I appreciate your kind words.
Today has been good. Had a coffee and a few laughs with friends and tonight went to see an Opera company rehearsing for some shows they are due to perform. It was about ghostly Christmas goings-on done in 3 parts and performed in rooms in a disused building dating back 170 years (very cold and very atmospheric.) I have never seen opera performed before but I was really impressed and it was easy to understand what was going on.
Not everything in life runs smoothly and sadly I had a disagreement with some people earlier on today. I know I was in the right so told them not to talk to me any more and that was the end of that. It did upset me at the time because I felt I had been betrayed but I have got over it now.

My life is like a bus and I am the driver who decides where we're going and who gets on.
The passengers can chatter away to their hearts content but I make the decisions and will always have the final word. When I say NO I mean NO.
That is just so wonderful to hear Stephen, keep that bus going where you want it to go ?
Well done stephen!
Thank you Murlo and Lisa.
I have issued you both with bus passes to travel free of charge (to anywhere that takes your fancy) on the GamCare Gamble-Free Mystery Tour.
It might be a rocky ride so fasten your seat belts and hang on to your hats.

Dear Stephen,
thank you so much for popping into my diary and for your lovely words. Reading about progress and success in people’s diaries has been a great comfort to me since I joined so keep it up!
Looking forward to receiving my bus pass x
The rafflefree moors is definetely where I need to go and live lol
Well I had a lovely evening at Cafe Gelato celebrating with a friend who has just got a new job.
What makes it noteworthy is my thoughts when I was putting my order in for coffee with a tasty desert. I was able to order it, secure in the the knowledge that it would not leave me short of money. That gave me a lot of satisfaction and also peace of mind.
My friend who has got the new job is joining me tomorrow afternoon at a dance workshop which should be a lot of fun. A few classes with different teachers and I imagine it will all be contemporary dance so I am really looking forward to it. I am 69 and my lungs and left foot do give me problems but I will give it my best shot. One thing's for sure I will keep smiling.
Enjoy Stephen.. I have images of anton du beck ?

Ha ha thankyou Boo that brought a smile to my face.
Hello Diary
Great afternoon yesterday with plenty of dancing, a tasty buffet and a panel discussion around the subject of dance and how to get people more involved.
In the evening went to a performance by an opera company with a ghostly Christmas theme in a very old disused building. I had seen the dress rehearsal a couple of days ago and last night was lucky to buy a late cancellation ticket. It was in English and easy to follow and the small orchestra, actors and singing were absolutely wonderful.
Going to a tenants & residents association christmas coffee morning at 10 than having a lazy day. Might go for a walk by the riverside and write on a few cards.
If anyone reads this, I hope you have a lovely weekend.
Today I am grateful to have good people by my side for this journey to freedom.
Today I am grateful for having a nice warm home, plenty of food and good health.
Today I am grateful for my exceedingly good looks, charming personality and modesty.
