Truth hit me...

[Hannaha]

Today, I was driving home from work past Twickenham Stadium as usual when the reality of this year just hit me really REALLY hard. I truly grasped the concept that Stewart, Andy and Sting would be over there IN THAT STADIUM in 5 months time and that I, along with a rabid mass of 80,000 odd fans, would actually see and hear them play all our favourite songs. Or some at any rate. I will actually hear Message In A Bottle and Can't Stand Losing you played LIVE dammit! AND I'll have the knowledge that Stew will be knocking around in my neck of the woods for 2 days in september - can't tell you how strange and cool that feels!

Came home and made a mate of mine an awesome Police/KK/SC mix CD. Made me smile WIDE!

Hi Hannah,

It's so cool isn't it? I occasionally catch a glimpse of Twickers from the top of Richmond Hill when I'm out and about and it now it makes me smile wide too to think about September

Lol, Helen xx

[Hannaha]

I love those views from Richmond Hill, especially the one from the Park that looks like a postcard - BT Tower, St Pauls, The Gherkin, the London Eye, Battersea Power Station and Canary Wharf all in a row! When I have time on sunny mornings I drive to work that way through the park to look at the view and the deer and think 'I bloody love London'!

[dafttart]

Yeah we are really lucky. That view from Richmond Park is incredible. I work on the south bank and I just adore the view from Waterloo Bridge - ahhhhhhhh London is fab

[Hannaha]

Oh man I haven't been to South Bank in ages. Love it in summer - sitting outside the National Film Theatre watching the skaters and the tourists - a great way to pass a summer evening.

yeah. I keep getting that too - the whole reality of the situation is such a rush. Was driving home from my, er, country estate the other night (my "estate" is a 1000-square foot cabin) and listening to Regatta, and it was just, like..."they're *really* back together, and I have FOUR TICKETS..."

I know I have just done this to death, but really, and from the bottom of my heart....SQUEEEEEEEEEE!

Got it again this afternoon whilst re-watching the Grammy rehearsals...it's just like Christmas. Only much, much better.

Twenty-some years down; only 72 days to go til it all begins again.

Craziness.

72 days??? Geez, some of us have got 176 days to go

[DirtyMartini]

Heh. Nah, dafttart -- I personally have, erm, 141 to go.

I meant 72 days til the whole Police SHABANG begins again.

Too bad we couldn't post some photo's.

I'd like to see that darn view too !

Here I am working amoung huge skyscrapers in downtown Toronto, Canada.

...it's nightime now and it just started snowing.

I also have to walk past the Air Canada Centre where the boys will be playing in July...I can hardly believe it. I saw Van Morrison and Bob Dylan there this past year and had no idea how great it was gonna get.

I guess fate wants us to look at these stadiums every workday and "wallow" in anticipation.

...wallow,wallow,wallow.

Hannaha..that is such a great story!! Same thing happens to me every now and then. It does hit you out of nowhere, huh? It's going to be a long 4 months. And as soon as it's over I'm gonna wish it was 4 months ago. You never win!
