the azaleas have been lovely...but finishing now...
so I went up the mountain for the ballet concert
the girls had a full dress rehearsal on saturday morning...
and we all went down tot he empire theatre for the concert in the afternoon....
a lovely place, good company...
and a great preoduction...of a new take on an old idea...
Bec and Rachel enjoyed their afternoon, after a few nerves, but mostly fun I hope, after a lot of hard work! Both girls were part of a little coir that sang during the concert, under the expert guidance of their conductor...their Mum! Good on you Kath. I think little Sarah really enjoyed her first concert. She was really inot the clapping bit, and even was independent enough to want to sit on her own seat , and not our laps for most of the time...quietly whispering to me that that was "our mummy" up there! Her finally flagging interest was re activated by Rachel's dance, and the finale at the end!
This morning we were off to church, at their new temporary church home ....quite a nice place they are sharing with the Philharmonic Society, which is very kind of the latter to let them use their premises.
some little people seem to enjoy their surrounds....
and kept themselves mostly happy and amused....
although they were pretty tired!
While Kath slipped down to hear some of her singing students at their exams and to give them moral support....I took my leave to drive home. Had a pop-in to John and Frances to leave a CD of wedding photos as promised for Jeanette, and then bumped into her and Granny Clewett as well!
Let's finish here with a couple of a little one in Melbourne...looks like Hannah had fun dressing up for Melbourne Cup....
she is also enjoying her reading and writing by the sound of it. It is always fun to have little skype video chats with them occasionally. Such fun. I think Ian and I are the only ones who are in awe of the technology developments over the last how many years that have brought us the means of being able to see each other as we speak. Something I imagined we may be able to do, as long ago as when I was first using computers (40 years ago)? In fact I look forward to the day when we look back at how terrible these first skype chats were!! They are fun, but certainly not perfect yet!!
