In honour of my best friends mum Margaret.

  On the weekend l went to another Choir performance. I had forgotten about this ticket and, having seen this choir before, went along on Saturday.  I like choirs and have enjoyed past performances by this choir.  Vox is a mixed choir with female and male singers, unlike the Bel Canto Choir which is all female. Unfortunately l didn't like this performance as much. I struggled to hear the male singers and wasn't that keen on the program. This is choral music, and l like choral music, but there was something that just didn't gel for me. The singing was good as was the pianist Heather Wickes. The audience was encouraged to join in on certain songs, but not me. I have such a terrible singing voice. Would l see this choir again? Yes l would. They are a good choir. I wasn't actually planning to see anymore Christmas shows after Bel Canto and maybe should have left it at that.  If you are in the local area  Vox are auditioning new members for next year. I won't be appl...

I don't drive and Melbourne is a big city, in both size and population. So how do l get around to see all the shows that l see in the suburbs?

Is listening to an audio book the same as reading a book? Yes and no. I was asked this question this week and, l am listening to more and more audio books. There will always be times when reading a book is the way to go, but, if you are like me, a non driver who walks a lot audio books are the way to go.

Another good poem by Australian poet Gwen Harwood. I love poetry. Who's with me?

It's that time of year again.  I don't see many Christmas shows but l do like hearing choirs sing. Bel Canto is a local choir that perform at Mt Eliza here in Melbourne. Beautiful voices singing in unison.
