Retro bowling on a Saturday night

Feel, that when writing this blog, it might be easy to overlook the little positive things. So gonna throw this one in.
Last night, my working life (music biz) took me to a gig in an unusual concert venue; a retro bowling alley in Bloomsbury. Went down to the soundcheck to settle qualms others may have felt at me going into hospital. Drove so wasn't drinking.. .. and wouldn't have helped on account of still knocking back a reasonable supply of pain-killers.
The concert was actually in the same area as the bowling lanes, which were being used throughout the whole evening. After the soundcheck there was a lull and rather than leave the venue or go home I sat at the bar and had a burger and a coke.. the 'presumeably ironic' Dj was playing Abba and Xanadu by Olivia Newton John. and do you know what, sitting there, I felt happier and more chilled than I have for a very long time... comfortable as a bloke with the runway to 50 in sight, watching the world go by.. whatever.. we know this ain't gonna last .. lol ;-)
took some photos throughout the evening with a view to entering them in the weekly search that the Guardian Saturday magazine has for photos.. but didn't really get a good enough shot. I'll still try n send one off though
