What an absolute amazing day!!!! Whow!!!

Started off at Victoria and only had a short bit of time before we will rock you so I decided to pop to Westminster Cathedral again. It was also baking hot near 70!!! And I wanted to be somewhere cool!!!

Westminster Cathedral is absolutely stunning, saw things I missed the first time round.

Definitely worth a second visit.

Next I jumped on the underground to embankment and walked to the coliseum theatre

Got handed a free Caffè Latte on the way never had one before but I'll save it for the trip home!!!

We will rock you!!!!

This musical was at the top of my, I want to see when it first came out, but I never had the money. Then I heard it was coming back and I kept an eye on the prices.

Whow we’re they high!!!!! Well over my budget unless I sat up in the balcony at the very back!!!

Then the tickets were on offer!!!!!!

Yep my seat was in the upper circle seat C1 it is sold as a restricted view. I paid £25 reduced from £59!!!!!!!!!

Yes the view was restricted but it was so well staged you missed nothing of importance. As for the show oh whow it is the closest I will get to hearing Freddie mercury live. The show starts with Freddie’s voice singing to a live band I fully admit I cried!! This is a dream come true for me. The show was funny and the music was phenomenal well it is queen!!! (FYI I’m a huge queen fan!!! thanks to dad)

I still can’t believe what an incredible show and story it was, a definite must see!!!

After I popped to McDonald’s for a £1.99 deli of the day and after I sat in Leicester Square and had a can of gin £1.60 from Sainsbury’s watching the world go by.

Found the police man's hook which is right next to the arts Theatre where the choir of Man is playing and of cause the Agatha Christie monument.

Then it was time for the choir of man. Well today was definitely a rock/good music day!!! Absolutely fantastic.

Seat was front row Bb7 paid £25 reduced from £39.

The choir of man is set in a pub and is the story of the men in the pub with familiar well known songs and some not so well known.

They encourage you to take photos and get involved!!! For example when singing, if I could walk 500 miles etc on the da da da, da da dum diddle um etc you know the bit I mean and if you don’t!!! Go listen to the proclaimers I’m gonna be on YouTube.

So when the whole audience is singing da da da the guy on stage points at me and says next one your on your own!!! Oh fffffffffffffffff deep breath, YES!!! I hit the notes!!!! I also held a mop and hand it back and i caught a shots (plastic) glass that accidentally flew at me!!!! It was empty and I had to hand it back!!! But I did find a free coaster 😀😀

I would definitely recommend the choir of man, they have amazing voices and it’s fun!!! Clapping, singing along simply fun definitely worth seeing, and it’s short about 80/90mins, no interval which meant, for a change I don’t need to dash home, so popped to Sainsbury’s and grabbed a bottle of wine, cracker's that were on offer 1.35 and I may of found some reduced chicken breast 75p!! and a dip 39p!!!

Is it a bad thing that I know where the reduced section is in about 15 different shops in London.... Anyway I then realised if I really hurried I might just make the 21.45 train home!!!

The mad dash was on!!!! I hot footed it to Charing Cross station straight on the underground to Victoria made it to Victoria underground with 4mins till the train left!!!! I ran yes I ran!!!!!!!!! I do not run!!!!! I hate running!!!! I ran!!!!! But I made the train I was the last to board before it left the station!!!!!

Just passed Haywards heath so should be home by 23.30!!

Some how I walked 6 miles??

This was definitely a day to remember absolutely fantastic. I’m feeling very grateful and blessed.
