2000 year old rock and roll

We harvested our first melon today, a Chanterais, and very tasty it was too. OK, so we now know that we can grow tomatoes, peppers, peaches, plums, melons, chillies, cherries (I like the alliteration), and apricots. The jury's still out on kaki, apples and pears. Don't snigger, this means a lot to us, folk that used to think that all food came from the supermarket!

You are now going to have to admit your age. This evening we went to see Joe Cocker, playing at the Arene in Nîmes. If you know who Joe Cocker is, then you're cool. If not, where have you been for the last 35 years?. Sitting in a 2000 year old Roman amphitheatre, watching an artist nearly the same age, dig away at all your self restraint and self composure - what a huge buzz. Where to begin? It was an incredible performance. He certainly still knows how to belt em out. A wonderful mixture of blues, R & B, and rock and roll. You spend all your time rocking to the music and also expecting him to have a massive coronary at any minute. If you get the chance you must go see him. The ultimate test - I'm going to look and see if he is playing again tomorrow! The best concert I have ever been to. Superb.
