What are you waiting for??

What are you waiting for?? An easy question to ask, but one that sometimes has many answers. As I sit here, watching Duran Duran live in concert on tv (don’t judge me, I was reared in the ‘80s lol), looking out on a rainy Mother’s Day, what am I waiting for??

• I’m waiting for it to stop raining.
• I’m waiting for Mr Blackbird to come and tap on our patio doors with his lovely orange beak......he’s done it a few times recently when the seed is running low. How cool is that??
• I’m waiting for the massive swell in the sea to go down so I can go for my sea swim.........tomorrow’s looking hopeful.
• I’m waiting to get a date for my second Covid vaccine.
• I’m waiting for the hot water to heat so I can have a nice deep bubble bath.

Most of all I’m waiting for lockdown to end, once and for all, because;

• I’m waiting to see if I get to dance my wee socks off to Lionel Ritchie live in Belfast in June.
• I’m waiting to see if I finally get to see Green Day live in Dublin in June, after two opportunities stolen from me by cancer.
• I’m waiting to see if I get to see Crowded House live in Manchester in July. After my very vivid dream about my conversation with their lead singer, Neil Finn (see earlier blog post for more detail on that one!)
• I’m waiting to see if we get to go to Jersey for the first time.
• I’m waiting to see if we get to go to Edinburgh for the first time in ages, after 2 reschedules so far.
• I’m waiting to see if our Triciafest rock gig in aid of  Macmillan in NI goes ahead and we finally get to officially open our Riverbank Relatives Room.

I don’t wait well, but we all know ‘The Waiting is the Hardest Part’. Wait, wait, wait. Tap, tap, tap!! Come on virus, let Spring in!!
