I’ve got that joy, joy, joy , joy, down in my heart…where? February 23, 2009

I saw the loveliest thing at choir last night. Feeling a little bored, bashing out notes for whatever piece we were singing – I think the Morley madrigal “Sing we and chant it” – I then sat back as the choir sang it through unaccompanied. Most people had their heads intently buried in the music, […]

you know those comedies that aren’t actually funny…this isn’t one of them February 22, 2009

I haven’t been to the actual movies, as in buy and ticket and go to the theatre for a long time. Months….since sometime in 2008 I would be guessing. And I can’t remember the last movie I saw at the theatre so clearly it wasn’t really that memorable. Actually now I come to think about […]

I’m such a social butterfly February 14, 2009

I’m such a social butterfly (she types with mild sarcasm dripping on to her keyboard) that I actually had a choice last evening of what to do. Firstly, there was a bookclub group excursion to see Frost/Nixon which finally made it to little ole Bundaberg as the (dah dah!) Showcase Movie of the Week at […]

Not physically fought you understand. More of a “why should you get the last one?”/ You’ve had more than me”/”I’ve hardly had any”/”But I paid […]

Monday: thinking about the meaning of life February 9, 2009

The terrible devastation and loss of life in the bushfires is dreadful to say the least. To comment on it in any meaningful way seems impossible while the event is still unfolding. And I think I’ll leave that to others more knowledgeable than I. Reading the coverage in the paper this morning over breakfast was […]

Madam Vice-President and Music coordinator February 6, 2009

I have an eisteddfod meeting this evening. It’s now ten years since I returned to Bundaberg and started helping out with the local music eisteddfod. Growing up as a child here and learning music it was one of the highlights of the year (that combined with the annual AMEB exams). So I was more than […]
