Good things come to Take That's fans!

(The Manchester Wheel)

And who says that good deeds don’t get rewarded? Mine did, although I’m not sure I could really consider mine a good “deed”. Well, I was asked Monday morning very early to step in for and interpreting assignment in court as a colleague of mine who had “chickened” out at the last minute and decided to call the solicitor’s firm to tell them she wouldn’t make it! Somehow I don’t blame her as the court case was a very nasty one and not everybody can put up with that kind of pressure. So there I was driving to court without any preparation on the subject matter whilst mu client was trying to change the interpreter’s details in court. I worked in court Monday and Tuesday and it was tiring, absorbing and very distressing. At 4pm on Tuesday afternoon I was totally shattered! I really don’t know how solicitors and barristers can go through this every day and survive. Anyway, on my way back to the solicitor’s, a lady lawyer I’ve known for quite a while told me she had a spare ticket for a concert later on and asked me if I wanted to join her. The concert was Take That’s at the Old Trafford Cricket Club in Manchester. How could I refuse the kind offer (and free as well)??? Shattered, yes, but not too shattered for Take That!!! So after a couple of frantic phone calls with my husband and kids and another pretty longish car journey there I was sitting in front of the stage for the second time within less than three weeks. Another wonderful show, nothing better to recover from some nasty work!!!!!!!!
I know, I know, now I’m a official Take That’s “groupie”!!! …but there many worse things in life…:) :) :)
