Abba

Friday night saw us and a couple of friends and their families head on up to Kings Park to see Bjorn Again, the Abba Tribute band and the Bee Gees tribute band. It was the one day that we had drizzly showers with the last few weeks being hot, but it didn't dampen our spirits and we only had a couple of light showers.

We smuggled in the Pimms (lucky because the wine you could buy there was $45 a bottle !) and took a couple of eskies filled to the brim with nice food we've been without the last couple of weeks. I even bought some grapes which, to the UK guys is nothing, but to Oz guys you know that you can only get grapes a few weeks a year, and then at $20 a kg, so grapes are really special !! We also had mince pies to help with the festive spirit.

The concert started at 6.30pm and we left at about 10pm, it was absolutely brilliant. Robyn, Anne and I were singing away with Robyn's make shift microphone of a plastic wine glass and there were quite a few ladies all dressed up in white short outfits with beads round their necks and scarves or beaded tea cosies on their head. Paul made sure he stayed quite a way away so he wasn't obviously with us and we did our best to embarrass our kids too (I think it worked )

The outdoor cinema has restarted now and the shops are back open on Sundays so summer must be here and Christmas must be near (especially as most houses now have their decorations up, out and on !!). Bring it on !! My tan needs a top up !
