Ella is rehearsing to be in The Nutcracker at The National Theatre on December 6, 7, 8. She is going to be a soldier.
She is going well at piano, tonight having her first go at Cockles and Mussels. She can read music for simple compositions such as this (and she didn't already know the tune which makes it way too easy).
Her guitar playing has pretty much stalled, no teacher.
The two spare rooms are occupied with 25 year old girls until December, one a Columbian Christian (who reads the Bible in bed and wouldn't dream of stealing my beer) and the other a pole dancer from Daylesford who seems to have equally pristine habits.
I don't think they have revealed their personal policies to one another as yet, I hope Im around when they do.
Ella and I went to the Royal Melbourne Show. What a disappointment! No more grand parade, no stables to wander through and pat the beauteous beasts, show bags are $25 and it is a total trap of amusements and boguns.There is a little Art and Craft area, a remnant of days gone by, but in a new awful building, and a fairly low standard. Now I know Im really old.......
Car now running on LPG is a joy. I can drive anywhere and everywhere for zip.A relief as petrol is now about $1.55 a litre!
In the school holidays we saw High School Musical at the cinema, went to the Deco show at the NGV, had a few days at Daylesford and a few days at the farm.
These pics I am going to frame for Patch and Dave to try and compete with the incredible photo of Didi and Marly Martin presented to them.
