Oh what a pity, I just missed Braffy and Shimmery. That's okay cause I know Braffy's got an early start with Sunrise and now I've also missed Roxy!...goodnight Roxy The family already knew Damien would be on cause the t-shirt was a bit of a give-away and were happy to go. Well, we got there about 7pm for a 7.30 show start and we set up near to the front but a bit to the side so I could move to other places to film. It's a lovely park by the water with the stage was set up near the road. the road arcing aroun the park had lovely houses with Christmas lights flashing away. Very pretty as darkness fell. The first thing we noticed were all the uniforms. They looked like the Police Band. Miss 13 suggested that they were all there as security for Damien to keep the fans under control (Has she been reading some posts?) The kids went off to get the sausage sizzle and hubby moved off to make a phone call. I was happy to set up the picnic dinner when I heard some kids call out 'Hi Damien!' I looked up to see Damien and family setting up with a group right in front of me

Hi gj I didn't realise anyone was waiting I wasn't staring (I think : but as he sat down on their picnic rug he saw me and looked so surprised but actually gave a big smile so i waved and he waved back. ;D Tonight he wore a dark jacket (black ot navy?) with dark grey jeans and that fittied white shirt. Very schmexy! When my family got back I mentioned the little 'encounter' but Miss 11 didn't believe me. But when I looked up later and caught his eye again (unintentionally) he smiled again so I held up the camera to show my intentions. He gave the and then daughter was so shocked that I hadn't made up how he recognised me

Hi Shimms Anyway, I kept thinking "I'm going to ask for a little cheerio to the forum... ummm but how and when? He's with Eileen and the inlaws and I didn't want to barge in...!!" I tried not to keep looking at them except I I had to sometimes to work out the best time. So anyway, some concert organisers dropped by to talk and do some photos. Then came my chance when some young fans came up for autographs and some photos. Damien was so nice to oblige and since he had moved away from the family group I jumped at the chance and grabbed my camera. I waited till they were finished and when he looked at me he just said hello and gave me a lovely and on the cheek. That was so unexpected cause I hadn't moved forward for it and what a stubble! He asked how I knew about this event and ws really surprised. i only got to say that someone on the forum posted a notice... then another group butted in to get their picture etc

So I just stuck around till they were finished although some others were getting the same idea and tried to queue behind the first group!! But when that group was done he looked my way (probably wondering 'uhh, why is she still here?' I just said "I was hoping, if you wouldn't mind saying a message to the forum?" (or words to that effect... I'm still a bit so I can't remember too clearly but I'll try) and he said "Of course! I'd love to!" ;D (him) and ;D ;D ;D (me) with the camera on.

Sorry you have to go Shimms. I'll try to be brief but anyway it'll be here tomorrow morning! Goodnight! His message was " To all the Damienites I want to wish you all an extremely Happy Christmas and a Happy New Year. and I want to thank yous for all your support over the year. And make sure you behave yourselves over Christmas and no getting drunk or going on boats and fishing and anything like that and I'll see you in the new year." I think he's referring to his Very Specky Christmas story!
