Concert? Took eldest to his first yesterday. We saw REM, supported by the Zutons. Open air at the KC Stadium - in the pouring rain! Not just rain - torrential rain. Zutons really good and pathetically grateful that we were prepared to stand there in the rain and watch them. REM did a very good 2 hour set. I was glad we were standing not sitting - I don't think the atmosphere was quite so good in the seats - its a huge stadium and must be hard to feel totally involved way up at the back.

Despite everything, he enjoyed his first time - although amazed at the amount of alcohol being consumed by all and sundry (except us) even in those inclement conditions. Can't we Brits do anything now without consuming vast amounts of booze?? Or am I just boring? (My tipple was a flask of peppermint tea - well, it was raining!!!)
