AUSTRALIA ~ The Antipodes

AUSTRALIA ~ The Antipodes
I love a sunburnt country / A land of sweeping plains / Of ragged mountain ranges / Of droughts and flooding rains / I love her far horizons / I love her jewel-sea / Her beauty and her terror / The wide brown land for me / ~ Dorothea Mackellar (1885-1968)

Surprise Performance


Pic by Gemma Wiseman ~ Programme cover of my school's musical performance.
Last night, after a long and weary Friday of teaching, I attended my school's performance of Grease.
SURPISE! SURPISE!
The performance was professional!
Talented dancers and singers created a "feel good" atmosphere.
The musical score was beautifully presented, adding some quirky extras to the original.
There was a real old car on stage for the well known song "Greased Lightning".
Brilliant choreography, costuming and lighting effects!
It was uplifting!
I felt proud to be a part of Casey Grammar School!

What a fun musical, love the original with Olivia and John. Takes ya back to the good ol' days, when we had that kinda energy.

You are seeing signs of spring and today I saw trees with leaves turning orange...wasn't it just winter here and summer there...where did it all go to??? I'm not happy about this at all...however you must be getting excited for spring...and no school...summer vacation.

Love the old bookcase, what a beauty...hope all is well with you dear friend...see ya in the 'morrow...s
