New Year Resolutions for 2013......with a completely NEW slant !!!
Hi folks and as we are now into 2013 and I have managed to get into MB's (couldn't last night - problems with laptop) have decided, whilst the going is good, to get this thread kicked off for another year.
Sylvie and I still believe we should follow same pattern as for last year with us setting ourselves targets of what we hope to achieve each month and of course, any number of resolutions can be followed each month as well as any number being carried over into the following month where it may end up becoming something that we want to achieve throughout the year but the main thing is that, what we set ourselves, we attempt to achieve and we lend our support to each other in trying to reach our goals.
Please consider joining us for a little bit of seriousness but Sylvie and I hope too, a huge lot of laughs throughout the year because that is, without doubt, the #1 Resolution of this thread, to have, FUN !! :)
We also believe that we should extend a very warm welcome to our very own "boss", Michael, for he has given us, so far, three of his own resolutions which he hopes to achieve this year and so we invite him to share with us on here how he is getting on achieving his goals and also, if he just wants a little bit of encouragement to keep going with his aims, we are here to support him and we want him to know that. Also if he decides, at some point in time throughout the year, to set himself another goal he is more than welcome to share it with us on here and again, we will give him all the support he needs !! :) Believe, more than appropriate to place Michael's 3 Resolutions on here along with pictures he sent and so here is the first........................
"New Year Resolution #1. Spend lotsa time with Millie & Gwenny! MB" and the picture is a beautiful one of Michael standing at a patio door, at home in Westport, holding Amelia (Millie) in his arms and it was taken at same time as the beautiful one he sent of himself sitting at table working on book with Amelia dancing in background and in this one Michael is facing camera and he is holding Amelia, who is in profile, but the beautiful thing is she has a little back-pack strapped on and she has an arm up going across strap as though showing the world; "this is mine and your not getting it" or at least trying to keep it on her shoulder for it does look a little bitty big !! :)
"New Year Resolution #2. Enjoy more golf with great buddies like Bruce & Dan. MB" and in this picture are the three of them along with, I believe MB's caddy, for it is an older picture and I am sure it is taken at one of the golf competitions and they are standing on one of the greens of the course. I will check it out and find out exactly when taken once access into my files is a little bitty easier, safer and more guaranteed than of now !! LOL.
Now for Resolution #3........
"New Years Resolution #3. Keep the reciprocal inspiration going with amazing artists like Melanie!" and this picture is a beautiful one of a close up, from waist, of MB and Melanie Fiona and Michael's smile is one of the widest and happiest that he gives and equally too, so is Melanie's......it is a beautiful picture !! :)
Here is #4......"New Year Resolution #4 continue to revel in all the greats who paved the paths. MB" and in this picture Michael is, I believe, in the Motown Museum for there are a couple of pictures on the wall and you can see a couple and I think, one is of Marvin Gaye and Tammi Terrell and the other is of The Temptations and am now changing that thought for sure as I believe now it is in fact of Quincey Jones.....could be totally wrong, nowt new there then....and Michael is standing looking up towards what I would imagine is another picture you cannot see and at his back you can see part of a piano and that is what makes me think it is the Museum and it is the piano that was originally used in a lot of the Motown recordings and which was restored last year.
Now I believe we will have to wait for #5 and I am pretty certain there is going to be one and I wonder how many there could be in total.....7 ????? lol. Must say that I do hope Michael isn't celebrating his 60th birthday this year by pulling a joke on us all with these resolutions for.....to date.....there have been 4 and we have another 56 days till the 26th February....56 + 4 = 60......coincidence ??????? LOL. Obviously if anymore do appear I will place on here !!! :)
.........and #5 has just popped up and it is..............."New Years resolution #5 Dream bigger & bolder than ever!!" and the picture that goes along with is a wonderfully, stunningly, beautiful one and a view to get lost in anytime of the year !! :) It is looking off into the horizon and is taken at sunset and you can see a little strip of land which is dark with palm trees on and there dark shadows creep up into the sunset and just before horizon is a strip of water and you are not half way up on the picture for the following section takes you onto the horizon where the sun is setting and what is captured there would stand alone as an absolutely beautiful picture for the sky is on fire and you can feel the heat, if any could be generated from it let alone the tremendous light shining out....I know I am letting my imagination run riot but I don't believe there would be many who wouldn't see something like that looking at something so beautiful.....and then the top half of the picture is of clouds appearing dark because of the sunset and they are of all various shapes and sizes with little whispy white ones too and in between them the brilliant blue sky shining through and in some respects it is like looking at day and night in the one picture for you have the brilliance of the sky above the clouds still bathed in sunshine with the land below entering night. It is truly, truly gorgeous !! :)
We await #6 and I do not know how MB is going to top that one with the next photo !!! lol.
Hope you will all join in and more importantly, that you all enjoy this thread and cheers to you all for 2013 and may it prove to be one of the best years ever for us all with plenty of "Bolton Adventures" for us to share !! :)
Sylvie from Canada and Sylvia from Scotland.

I wouldn't be able to go to that one Kathy if it is on the cards but I am more interested in fact that if taking place then Michael will be here in UK and therefore will be doing other things and if at TV studios for shows would go to studios to try and see him.....wouldn't go as far as London but if in Manchester TV studios would definitely go.

I did They advertise themselves as a gay and lesbian nightclub. Doesn't matter who appeared there.

G A Y is a gay nightclub in London. The Boston Globe described it as "London's largest gay-themed nightclub. As per. Wikipedia
-
-
Where the concerts are held within the complex is called "Heaven" and it holds approx. 6,000 and although gay and lesbian themed, as I said, not exclusively for a heterosexual can buy a ticket and gain admittance.....sexual preferences are not checked at the door Sandy.

Hi Sylvia, on the Jacques Brel box set, I did say "CD's" and he hasn't made that many movies. The box set is called "Suivre l'étoile, l'intégrale " and it has tons of unreleased songs/versions, radio programs and long lost concerts. I'll tell ya, I couldn't have become a fan at a better time! :D Now about the "G-A-Y" club, I didn't want to assume the obvious, that's why I asked. Girl, I wish you the best with good news on that. When I read that the guy said "The man behind WAMLAW", I hoped he didn't mean Percy Sledge! :D Break a leg Sylvia, that's all I can say. Take care sweetie and have a great week. Hugs, sincerely, Sylvie Qc Canada

Must admit Sylvie I thought of that too in it possibly being Percy Sledge but think I jumped on Michael because of all the hints of him coming over here soon and knowing he had intention or want to do a concert in London but as RAH's schedule possibly not fitting in with his, thought he had maybe chosen next best thing.
Must have a look at that box set.....sounds more than interesting although must admit, think as you already know, I favour Scott Walker singing his material even more than himself......Scott and "If You Go Away", I'm a puddle on the floor !!!!!!! LOL.
Sylvia. Your wee Scottish friend.

Hi again Sylvia, I'm in-taking the entire JB oeuvre, so I have the intention of taking the time to listen to Scott's renditions. I did a 3 part study on Jacques on my blog a couple of weeks ago. It'll be 35 years tomorrow since he passed on. The box set is probably my best music buy up to now, seriously. On the London venue, sounds pretty impressive if it's the next best thing to Michael's fave venue in the world! :D Thanks for your reply Sylvia, take care. Hugs, sincerely, Sylvie Qc Canada :D

Just calmed down enough to get in here for I have just remembered it is Monday.....talk about not being too sure if you are coming or going and know you all think that is me most of the time but boy today I have excelled for I cannot believe it is after 7,00 at night already...OMG I feel as though I have just got up !!! LOL I have also been on Google earth and have travelled up and down the UK and have sort of route worked out covering the concerts I want to get to....about all I have to do is get my B&B booked for May.....LOL. Talk about fun times !!! lol
Nothing much else on the go except last week I went to gym twice...wow but have a funny feeling I probably will only manage once this week. No weight loss to mention but I suppose count my blessings that I haven't put anything on and at least I do have now till May to lose that stone....thank goodness Michael gave me some leeway......LOL. I'll use anything I can to not push myself too hard on this darn diet, even Michael's concerts....LOL
Hope everything going well for everyone else !!! :)
Sylvia Your wee Scottish friend.
