Last night of the proms

OK.....I try to watch this every year...I love classical music, but tonight it went from one extreme to another for me.
I like to watch the BBC1 coverage, which is usually the last 1-2 hours of the proms. One of tonight's soloists was Lang Lang who I think looks very similar to Michael McIntyre.
Then there was a "feature"...then the usual "winding-up"...This made me cry...cos I can't sing any more, and it woke up so many memories.
At the same time there were fireworks going off, part of the "heritage weekend" held by my current hometown. Tomorrow should see the display of vintage/old cars on the prom, and maybe a display by the Red Arrows..and tomorrow night another firework display.
Two years ago this weekend I met my lovely Lithuanian friend...and I miss him so very much.

It's good to see that there are still things that you can enjoy, even with the problems you have. It's also good to share what is happening in your world. Hopefully it helps you feel better to share. I'm sorry you were left by your special friend, you have to be careful with long distance travellers. They are like the sailors of old, with a girl in every port. Hope things work out well.

I'm sorry about your special friend. You can't really trust long distance travellers, they are often like the sailors of old with a girl in every port. Hope things work out for you.
