Yesterday's lesson: Anne you're not a teenager.

Last night I was at a gig in Glasgow with my daughters and their pals. I don't think it's so much that they wanted me to hang out with them as that I'm the only one of us with a people-carrier. But still. I was pretending I was cool...

It was a standing area ticket, though, and my back's sore now. At one point I was sitting like a lonely homeless beggar at the back of the arena, on the one clean bit of floor without beer spillages.

I shouldn't be surprised as I've found in the past that I get a sore back from standing. But I suppose I thought now I was uber-fit (haha) and super-slim (haha) that I would be fine.

I'm working today but if it's eased a bit by teatime I'll try a gentle run for medicinal purposes.

I get a sore back from too much standing. Maybe you should have boogied, that could have given your gals something to stare at! My husband took our older son to a gig some years ago because it was at a students' union and Jack was under 18. He ended up sitting in the bands' green room, which earned him a super-cool accolade from all the young people who looked in and saw him there. Jack just ignored him and got stuck into the mosh pit. Ugh ;)
