Thanks to 'BBC Breakfast' (and NOT 'The One Show')

Did you make some happy today? Did someone make you happy? I hope so.

To-night I'm happy, I have a great life - great family, great friends (old and new) and a great place to live.

Take this week - last night 'Jane Eyre' with E, tomorrow off to practice for Christmas with the Southside Choir, Saturday 'Sixteen' with Allan, Sunday maybe some wine and the Salon Project with L. And tonight, to the Usher Hall for a wonderful, stupendous, amazing, life affirming, toe tapping, happiness-making evening with 'Pink Martini' and the sexy, sassy vocalist Storm Large (it is her real name).

To-night's highlights - Thomas Lauderdale (must be a Scottish connection there) leading the musicians in the opening spine tingling, rousing rendition of Ravel's 'Bolero'; the lovely Edinburgh lady, Eileen (who isn't Turkish) up on stage, giving it laldy accompanying Storm (singing in Turkish) on the cymbals, and the encores (the bis), 'a Hitchcockian interpretation of 'Que Sera, Sera' (bit of a tear there as right now I really have to believe that) and finally, everyone up on their feet dancing and singing and clapping as a bare-footed Storm belted out 'Brazil'. I never, ever thought I'd be up there in the Grand Circle singing along with the Scottish Chamber Orchestra but to-night I was, and it was great.

So I danced up the road. Tomorrow I know the adrenalin rush will have gone and I'll probably have the usual low that, for me, seems to follow the high, but tonight - 'Brazeeel - dah dah dah dah dah dah dah, daaah'.

(And 'The One Show' BBC Breakfast - well that's where I saw them first, in a hotel room in Glasgow as normally i'm a R4 'Today' person in the morning. If they come back and if Storm comes back - go! I will.)
