Concert!

Alex went to his first large concert in a major venue last night. He's a big fan of Tool's music, but doesn't always like occasions where the volume is too high for him. Luckily the first fact overrode the second and the gamble on buying a ticket and seeing how he liked it was well worth it. He was mesmerised throughout the whole thing. It's unusual for Alex to watch something for a long time and to give it rapt attention.
Before the concert, Alex enjoyed watching the crowd.

Waiting beforehand. Venue was reportedly sold out


This was pretty much the look throughout the concert.


Alex smiled every time he heard the first few bars and recognised the song, then for some he sang along loudly or swayed from side to side, but didn't say a word to us until intermission. Found these other images people took online:




Alex caught up with other concert goers he knows afterwards...just didn't want to go!
We'll have to keep an eye out for other concerts he'd enjoy.

Another year older

Big week! 23 years old this week and a really enjoyable birthday.
Plenty of loot over brekky in the morning

Like the sound of the electric toothbrush more than actually using it :)

Had a happy night at the pub
And when everyone at the pub sings you happy birthday...
 
...you just have to clap and sing along as loudly as you can !
