Forecast for tomorrow. I know how much you would love to be nearer events like the State Orchestra - QSO tours Qld now and then, will have to send them down to you.

Oh, Trish, how I envy you all the wonderful cultural events that you can attend. I am afraid living in a regional town does not feed my spiritual needs in this department at all. As for your ball gown, I think this was a very elegant solution! How nice to have Aussie with you for a week, and what a wonderful week he had. Looks like I made it without losing power!Sarah Lizhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17566072246120028926noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1579555037165364084.post-20338939101128160842018-04-18T15:56:26.183-07:002018-04-18T15:56:26.183-07:00Yes, I thought it was lovely for Aussie, as he is ...Yes, I thought it was lovely for Aussie, as he is old enough now to remember it, probably for life. He seemed really excited and actually went three times. <br />Yes, our visit is edging closer, after a lull once the arrangements had been set in place. Time for me to start working on personal details like what to take and how much it all weighs.

On first sighting I found it quite disturbing and wondered how I could tour it for the public, but as with anything, a bit of repeated exposure took care of me. Yes, of course the idea is to provoke and make people think about the issues. It has been really interesting to see that children seem to be fine with it all, and there is an accompanying activity for them in the Children's Art Centre.Patriciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11685403215601517267noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1579555037165364084.post-30860213966806618672018-04-18T15:50:13.936-07:002018-04-18T15:50:13.936-07:00Ha, you will have to borrow a small child and go t...Ha, you will have to borrow a small child and go to see Peter Rabbit - it is a delight, and gives us lots of smiles.

I looked (and looked again) at the art exhibit photos and information. I think it might be disturbing in person.
