On Saturday evening I found myself at a Neil Diamond tribute night at a nearby hotel with my colleagues for our festive night out. After dinner and a bit of disco we were surprised when instead of "Neil Diamond", the stage was taken by "Kenny Rogers" complete with luxuriant white hair, moustache and beard. Nothing daunted we were all soon dancing and singing along to all the old favourites like Islands in the Stream and You picked a fine time to leave me Lucille. After "Kenny" had warmed up the crowd there was a break for more disco dancing before on came "Neil Diamond". Neil bore a suspicious resemblance to Kenny, but had dark hair and no beard. By this time the crowd was very jolly and there was some extremely lively dancing and singing. Great fun. The whole crowd sang along to Sweet Caroline, it was excellent! Having intended to leave early, I enjoyed myself so much that I stayed right to the end.
This meant that I was pretty tired this morning, but after a leisurely start to the day James and I set off into town for some Christmas shopping and then lunch at Two Fat Ladies at the Buttery. It is many, many years since I have been at the Buttery and I was very impressed. The atmosphere was friendly and the food was really lovely, I particularly enjoyed my Cajun spiced salmon with a mango salsa. It has been such a busy week and it was great to relax with James and have a chat.
