I was so sure you were going to enthuse loudly about your evening but I have to admit *whispers so no one else hears* Given a choice of opera or pizza, it's a pizza every time for me.Rosalind Adamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05363027308436257933noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7525848878710274126.post-35243277415226420952011-11-25T10:53:56.876+00:002011-11-25T10:53:56.876+00:00I feel your pain!

I am 4yrs older than you are and like your thinking with bubbly in the frodge (runs out to buy some) The only way I've changed since hitting 50 is I'm more laid back and accepting and I've became a gran, now that does makes you feel old.

I even, as soon as I had means, bought tickets for he and I to go....and that's where it ended! Listening to snippets at home is one thing, but stuck in an uncomfortable seat, with no escape, is another!Carole Whelanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05612431701983494812noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7525848878710274126.post-33657910389290358232011-11-24T20:04:05.231+00:002011-11-24T20:04:05.231+00:00Hope ya had yer good knickers on !!

Well, there must be because performances are usually booked out. None of my friends are enthusiasts. No, I tell a lie. I have two friends who would probably sort of like opera, but one is a ballet fan and the other is a lover of baroque music and now my only daughter swears she will never ever go again, - not even to Aida in Verona.Noirin Scullyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06051196262736988291noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7525848878710274126.post-76199719527113860492011-11-24T12:35:52.186+00:002011-11-24T12:35:52.186+00:00Yes, I am very proud.
