We have seen the Picasso exhibition in Sydney, the Renaissance exhibition, the nurses at war exhibition, children in orphanages, and an exhibition at the national library of letters by lots of high achievers Darwin, James Cook Mozart and lots of others. Yesterday we went to see a musical in Sydney by a little theatre which is doing musicals rarely seen or never seen in Aus. It was amazing they had one rehearsal and had notebooks of the words which they read and sung but it was great. It was called "On the 20th Century" because the action takes place on a train called the 20th century. A guy called John Dierich I kept thinking I knew him and I did I remember him in a TV show when he was in his 20's. He won a Bafta so he and the rest of the cast were really good. Apart from watching it I kept wishing I could be a theatre angel and film them all they were so good. I'm sure it would be a big hit!
We stayed at our daughters and then did a foodie and nursery tour home. We went to a German butcher and a really nice cafe and a nursery.
Well guess what after a day of no rain it is back again, there are floods all over the state. There were waterfalls on the highway. Of course they have built a desalination plant to supply more water because we had the long drought now the dams are so full they are spilling over. Extremes. Gardens full of drought resistant plants are rotting, water tanks are over flowing and signs saying garden watered by tank look silly, big campaigns run to make people "water wise"look like a joke, somehow the driest continent on earth feels like the soggiest. must go to bed aquarobics in the morning and no golf again this week probably as it is supposed to rain everyday in March.
