September first 2019

 Hi everyone. We went early to Ebbw Vale RFC, my partner Val and I, to dance to Big Mac last night. Not having been there before, we relied on our sat nav satellite woman, who seemed her usual confident self until we got to the town centre, at which point she lost all sense of direction and sent us around in circles, not having a sat nav to help her out. Neither did we, or not a fully functioning one, and we were expecting her, the reference being to " 2001: A Space Odyssey", to start singing " Daisy, Daisy"; So we switched her off and consulted a pedestrian, who asked a passing jogger, who pointed to a row of houses directly opposite and said that the club was at the end of them. Which it was.

Still, it was worth it, and we all got excited when the show started, with Mike and the band charging the place up with their own special electricity, not from the national grid but generated by the music and the personality and presence of the singers and the instrumentalists. Those who played wind instruments were able to generate currents of excitement---I'm still with the electricity conceit--- by wind power, thereby helping the environment as well as rousing us all into a state of frenzy at least at the very end when it all built up into a crescendo with sparks flying everywhere and limbs flailing. Then we got lost on the way home.
