Happy Days But Not If You Like Adam Lambert.

Well!
A weekend to celebrate. Sort of.
Managed to bag myself some 'new' garden furniture for the princely sum of £0. Yep, that's right, got a big table, two chairs and two footstools for zilch!
Thanks Ken for the info.

It was a most delightful day on Sunday I put together my new bits and pieces, ate a rather rushed pork chop and then made a chocolate cake. But then the clouds did gather in the form of American Idol. Oh the finale was a sumptuous affair alright, lots of fun and lots of fantastic warblers, Rod Stewart, Queen Latifah,(?) Lionel Ritchie and Kiss did a turn but then Ryan Seacumber announced the result of who was to be crowned Winner...I shook. I sucked a breath and then he said the two words I didn't wish to hear. KRIS ALLEN! I was stunned. There was Allen standing meekly alongside the painted and ridiculously talented Adam , looking like it was just another day. For heaven's sake man you've just won a huge prize. Do something!
What on earth was he thinking? How was he feeling? That's what I wanted to know.

Do something I shouted. Even Ryan Seeover looked surprised and in the furore I heard the word 'enthusiasm'. I think Mr Seaurchin wanted a mighty explosive reaction from Allen. He didn't get it. He wanted to see some passion. He didn't get that either. And neither did I or the American public. I was very disappointed with the whole to-do.

But...Just before the winner was announced, Adam and Kris sang along with Queen. Bryan May and Roger Taylor sounding completely brilliant and looking very very good. And as they all bounded about to "We are the Champions" I wondered whether in the future Adam might make a record with Queen, because Lambert looked very at home with the Queen boys. Kris on the other hand disappeared into the background looking utterly lost and out of his depth. He is not a star.
Anyway it was a corker of a show and I loved all of it except the last minute.

Been quite warm today. And so after work, where I danced with my employer by the way, I pottered around my garden wearing green gloves and a large hat. Yes, a good weekend and fabulous Bank Holiday Monday.
Now cake...
