Andrea Bocelli concert - why did I volunteer to sing in an ad hoc large choir? Argh! Back to my nice chamber choir where they don't realise they have 3 more people than can sit on the stage and make you sit off to the side behind the risers two hours before the concert when it's too late to pull out. Next time - I'd rather fork out the money and be a punter in the audience. I tend to let a lot of things go but when I do snap it ain't pretty.

Keating! - Music from this fabulous musical has been going around my head for the last few days. Went to closing night at the Seymour Theatre. Was really impressed by the quality of the music, the clever political and musical jokes, and very good singing backed by an excellent band. The exotic dance by Alexander D was hilarious and disturbing, loved the seductive duet between Keating and Hewson, the love song for Cheryl and Gareth, the ocker Bob Hawke, and our "mate" the patheitc power-hungry Johnny H (thank God he's gone!).

First regional work trip - very sucessful overnight work trip to Newcastle and Maitland. Got to take B for Bob (the VW) for a decent drive up the highway. No time for any wine tasting though, we were flat out with meetings.

New niece - off to pay homage to little Violet Mae this weekend in Brisbane. The pictures I've been sent are very cute indeed.

Antinque Chinese cabinets and chest of drawers - arrived today, just in time to put in the spare bedroom for our Austrian/German visitors. Will have to post a pic.

Cat update - cute, warm and furry and snuggled under my elbow.
