Rule The World

What with one thing after another, I forgot to blog that I saw Take That last week (thank you Kira and Sean). Four years since we last saw them back in Wembley Stadium (how time flies!), me, Kira, Debs and Fran made our way to the O2 Arena to see the now Take That trio consisting of Gary, Mark and Howard.  Although I did miss Robbie and Jason (sorry for sounding like a 12 year old), it was a spectacular show with elements of Cirque de Soleil and fantastic lasers, flames and all sorts of special effects going on. 

My favourite moment had to be during Rule The World when 20,000 people literally lit up the arena with their mobile phone lights. I'm old enough to remember lighters being used for the same purpose when at gigs in the past. On this occasion I didn't get my fingers burnt in the process. The 'twinkling stars' look was very effective and made me quite tearful although to be honest the whole song makes me well up as it reminds me of my wedding.

In other news that made me want to 'rule the world', my cancer markers have reduced to 'normal' so all the chemo and treatment I have been enduring these last few months are working. Unfortunately because of being hospitalised last month due to my kidney, I have to have another cycle of chemo starting this week prior to my stem cell transplant now put back to August. It's going to be a l-o-n-g summer in more ways than one....

Anyway, as the song goes I get knocked down but I get up again. It's the only way I know to rule the world.

Look at everyones mobile phones all lit up - pretty!

No expense spared on the lasers
