Thanks for all the links and pix. I'm supposing Kara might have taken the group shot. What do you think?

I had a big day at work yesterday and a lot of prep had to go into it and so now all that is out of the way I can breath and feel I have some more of my life back.

A couple of weeks ago Mr Noone and I decided to have a long weekend in London - with things going on in our lives we haven't had a proper break for 2 years - and had a lovely schedule of exhibitions and theatre trips.

We saw lots of great stuff - recommend Memory Palace at the V & A, Ladykillers (very good) and Private LIves (excellent). I thought'd I'd booked for Chimerica on Sat night but at around about 5.30pm on the day checked the tickets and discovered I'd booked the matinee perf...so we'd missed it (b*gg*rs!). Mr Noone and I decided to drown our sorrows in a pub and decide what to do.

We thought the only option was to have nice meal and decided that Cafe Koha was the perfect place to do this. Long story short (and after cocktails and a bottle of wine) we watched the crowds gather for Daniel Radcliffe's last night and (little did we know) Kara's last night too.

Kara appeared, Mr Noone told me to go and say hello or he would, Mr Noone does and tells Kara that the shy (feltie) woman was in Cafe Koha. Mr Noone comes back to me and I noticed Kara talking to 2 women (thought flitted through my mind - they're Kartemites).

Then Kara starts walking toward Koha, I go out to meet her followed by Mr Noone. As you all know Kara is the sweetest and most open, lovely person and it was a joy to meet her for a few minutes. I just thanked her for her lovely Strictly season (naturally she poo-pooed all compliments ) and thanked her for being the catalyst that brought Kartemites together to which she replied, 'I know, I can't believe it...and there are two of them over there waiting to talk to you!'

Soooo, as a result of wasting money and missing the hottest ticket in town and by some fluke of fate I got to meet Kara and Siriol and crazy4kartem too! How nuts is that!

Oh, I love these Sunday morning confessions!

I would never have guessed the third Kartemite would be you Noone but it doesn't surprise me. Clearly you have the BEST husband ever!

Maybe Kara is on a well deserved holiday?

Thanks for the link on Last Passenger Tipi - not long to go before it opens.

After a glorious day yesterday, it is brewing up a storm here

Off for Sunday brunch... Have a good day!

Nooney - I'm tickled pink you got to chat to Kara (and met Crazy and Siriol!).


First steps: Fiona and Anton

Thanks Tipi. To think it's taken almost two years for this title to go on general release, and a lot never see the light of day! Risky business indeed.



What a weekend! Prime example of being in the right place at the right time. Envious much!

Thanks for the Fiona clip, fridge.

She seems to be picking things up pretty well. Good to see Anton in proper 'teacher' mode for a change.

HA! I never would've guessed you Noonster as the third confession! What an amazing long weekend you had. Your mix up with the tickets reminded me of my awful Glasgow tour fiasco! I know how you felt!
I'm soooooooooooooo glad you got to meet Kara and that she got to meet the maker of those A MAZ ING felties! Well done Mr Noone!!!!!!!! (there are some left)
Glad too that you got to meet Crazy and Siriol (two loverrrrly Kartemites)!

what a great story!!!!
How lovely! So pleased for you

I agree - great story Noone - what a coincidence. I bet Kara was delighted to be able to thank you in person for those amazing felties, after all this time!

Thanks SMW! Artem, Robin and Aljaz are great. Not sure about James!

Confessions...must be my Catholic roots showing again, Anam.


Me too, but it seems a bit unreal...Mr Noone and I had had a few drinks by the time we meet the celebs.

Fiona and Anton - blimey, dancing!!!!!!


Incredible TS considering that we only decided to book the holiday the weekend before, it was all very rushed and last-minute.


Twas mad and I'm just so glad that I had a chance to thank Kara in person and meet Crazy and Siriol...

I've forgotten, what happened in Glasgow Wrenster?





Wickster!!!!!!!! Kara is the tiniest, sweetest, loveliest thing.

Sorry to cut your post Nooney.

Sigh.......OH and I went mad and got tickets to see K&A in the tour up in Glasgow. Drove all the way up there (10 hours) on the Friday. Settled into our grotty Travelodge. Next morning looked at tickets before going out around Glasgow for the day and realised that they were for Friday evening show not Saturday evening! Stomach hits floor! All that way and we missed the show. Madly look on E-bay to see if any Saturday evening tickets available. There are! So, hence dodgy meeting on a Glasgow street corner where tickets and cash were exchanged. Went to show in the evening, got hugs from K&A and drove back down south and home on Sunday!

I can laugh about it now!

I'm good thanks Orkers, if a little rushed but that's my own damn silly fault !



Belgee - Waves hello to another returning to the nest. This fine example of prime manliness is just for you. No need for thanks.

Reggie

And I totally echo what you say, particularly to those who kept on posting through the Strictly-less summer.




Well quite.


Indeed Clarty, football it is. Though like catholicism it does involve an element of blind faith and trust to divine intervention at times (otherwise known as extra time last minute equaliser)


Looking very postive !

Like Nat's sweater, like her laugh. Ze early signs are looking good comrades.


Thank you Soupy, I now feel somewhat queasy..........



What a fab story !!! And what a lovely day for you and Mr Noone. So chuffed you got to meet Kara, she is a total Sweetheart with a capital S - and you got to meet a couple of Kartemites as well (they get everywhere!)

I'm thinking that kara has gone away on holiday and left Artem at home. On his visa, he can't leave the country when he is working so she will have gone without him. Doesn't she normally take a break after finishing a run in the west end?

Wrenny, can I tempt you with an ANTON instead?

Oh my giddy aunt!!!!! My eyes!!!
What worries me is that 10 are available and 4 have sold!

Thanks for that scout! Lovely to see you posting.

I remember, I remember! The dodgy meeting on a Glasgow street corner. I remember you telling us all about that...blimes. *shudder*


Sweeeeetheart to the max.

I agree nina - she seems very likeable doesn't she, which, as we all know, counts for as much (if not more) than dancing ability on this programme (otherwise DVO would have won last year - )

*waves back to Wrenny* - lovely to "see" you! Any Noone! And Tipi! And everyone! I will try to post more this series - I've been utterly useless recently. x

Lisa's going to be co-presenting ITT.
