The
bits of stuff that fall in the cracks between Life, Music
and Outrageous Fortune. |

1)
Let there be light - Geoff the lightgiver 2) Geoff
and Liz enjoy the moment far too much..3) What is
it with the bunnies?
Rick's
30th - yummy lasagna to take home..
27.5.13 - What
do you buy someone who doesn't get to bed until
5.00am and has unfathomable musical tastes? Another
JB gift card, that's what - and a birthday card
saying, Thirty - it's all a big joke till it
happens to you. Chris and I desperately tried
to be fashionably late but were still amongst the
first to arrive at Casa Cafarella, whereupon Chris
plonked himself down on a chair and allowed me to
drip-feed him beer and cheese crackers for the remainder
of the afternoon, (thankfully managing not to regurgitate
anything), as my more chronologically gifted relatives
and Rick's group of young friends arrived. Geoff
distinguished himself by bringing a replacement
light tube for the kitchen from the shop (pic
1) and fitting it without doing any damage
to it or himself in the process.
Given my recent encounter with an escapee bunny
I was intrigued to find Flops (pic 3) fenced
in on the back lawn. She seemed quite unfazed by
the attention of people (including children) and
lent some credence to Rick and Renée's claim
that a rabbit makes quite an interesting pet.
The much-discussed (in The Age re' her project The
Happiness, The Heartache) Lulu McClatchy (and
Molly) were there and I told her we were planning
to see her movie The Sunset Six - and
today Chris and I duly drove down to Cinema Nova
and did just that. It's only on for a few more days,
(although the good news is that they've extended
the initial season already), so if a feel-good,
home-baked pop music movie fits in your cultural
menu I recommend you go to see it ASAP.

The vista of Rick's 30th shebang. Chris and I left
early but not without a sample of Aunty Margaret's
lasagna.. |

Maria and me at the engagement party (Kath)
2) Chris Kay sips his cuppa reflectively |
A
frantic weekend
21.5.13 - It's all relative
of course, but my niece Danielle and her steady
Mario celebrated their engagement on Saturday night
and so we picked up Chris and headed for north Croydon
and celebrated. (pic 1) Maria left for
home the next morning so it was just me at Chris
Kay's place (pic 2) sharing a delicious
Chris Kay casserole with Geoff and Anthea. |

The Drs Sellers laugh it up at Jimmy Watsons |
Mike's
separate reality goes into overdrive
16.5.13 - If you've been turning
to this page lately you'd be forgiven for thinking that
either not much has been happening or that so much has
been happening that there's not been sufficient time to
record it. Happily it's the latter proposition. Last month
I visited Maria in Canberra for a few happy days and now
Maria is on a return visit here in Mt Waverley. We had
a lovely meal at Pure South last Friday with Dick and
Mary, (pic 1) we took Chris to see Iron Man
3 on Monday and yesterday met up with the Drs Sellers
for lunch at Jimmy Watsons. (pic 3) We went to
Readings and Maria asked if they had any CDs by the young
Aussie lyric soprano Siobhan
Stagg. The helpful assistant rifled through her cards
and asked 'Hymne?' 'No' Maria replied before I could,
'it's a her'. |
