I look forward to this time of the….. visiting family during festival time. And it’s made extra special as my choir are performing once more at the Fringe Festival.
Our choir, called Soul Singers , are doing as fun interactive show called Bangers & Mash Ups. It’s a combination of popular songs gathered into themes. Love Bangers, Boy Band, Rock Bangers etc. loads of fun and interactive for the audience.
Yes, it a sell out. Over 800 tickets have been sold. Not too bad ! And the envy of many other fringe shows I’m sure.
We arrived Thursday and it’s been all singing and family since then. Apart from my morning walk. The streets of Adelaide are still beautiful despite the lack of rain.
Residents seem to accept that gardens and lawns will turn brown during the hot dry summer months. They will regenerate later when rain finally arrives.
Fast forward…….
A week has passed. The concert went so well. Lots of fun.
What have I been doing this week?
Steve and I went to the pool at Burnside a few times. I have a swim trek to prepare for in June.
I’ve been walking everyday. The start are shaded so despite the heat it’s cool under all the shady trees.
We went to Zooma Zooma a fun musical festival show. I always love visiting the Garden of Unearthly Delights.
More walking. Lots of lovely walks here in Adelaide. Interesting suburban park at Unley with sculptures.
A visit to Payneham for the Soul Song choir there. There are Soul Song choir in 4 states. Find one near you. Payneham was fun.
Out to Glenelg for lunch with a view. Fish’n chips of course.
And two birthday parties.
One for Magnus 15 and one for Florence 7
Magnus requested a Wollies mud cake despite his mum Vashti offering any cake 🎂 he wanted – from the WW cake book. Florence chose the unicorn.
We made it to before school big band concert at Soraya’s school. She’s 17 and in Yr 12. her formal was on Friday. So lots of activity around that.
After the excitement of my choir gig it’s been lots of family time and relaxing.
More next week from the wonderful Writer’s Week
