What Music did you choose for the big day
ill forgive you if it was this Ole chestnut but you are more sophist o I am sure !!!
As we arrived and spent time talking to people first, the start of the ceremony was announced by "Fanfare for the Common Man" (Copeland, played by the NY Philharmonic; not the Emerson Lake and Palmer version!) (We were also going to try to include "Fanfare for the Uncommon Woman" by Joan Tower, but actually I don't like them very much!!)
During the signing, we had Salut d'Amour by Elgar.
And afterwards we had three playlists - the first of which was a section of all our favourite songs, starting with Happy Together (Turtles) and with lots of other happy music. Then there was a playlist which Mr B put together which was lounge versions of a whole lot of well known songs, and was perfect as background for people to just hang and talk with each other. Then a little light classical for during the time that we ate, and after dinner some music to boogie to.
Mr B spent weeks putting all the music together, and timing it; and on the day had it playing through an iMac connected to the sound system. He's a bit clever like that!!Never give up, for that is just the place and time that the tide will turn

Missy, I'm so happy for you xx
And Cakes!! So pleased love, just keep ticking off those years. Gives me such a big smile. This cancer club is the one you don't want to belong to but the people I've met through it all blow me away with their spirit.
Glassy, I'm down the GC the weekend of the 23rd, it's all about yoga at the moment. Maybe next time!

BTW, last Friday we went to Last Night and the Proms at Sydney Opera House and had front row seats - I've never sat so close to the orchestra, and heard notes and phrases that I've never heard before. That was a great night too!!Never give up, for that is just the place and time that the tide will turn

(In fact, we will be going back to NZ before some of our guests!!) When are you off? And will you be back before we take off for our own holiday?? (9 July)Never give up, for that is just the place and time that the tide will turn

Fly to Qld tomorrow morning and get back 24th. Then fly out 5th June. Which reminds me I have to book early morning
airport bus.
Mr Rags and I will be up in Sinney on Friday 1st June. Getting my hair done late afternoon then taking in some of VIVID.
How about then?
Perhaps we could grab a coffee and a quick meal and take a walk round the place? There are some stunning displays
The official website of Vivid Sydney. Vivid Sydney returns on 23 May until 14 June 2025. Sign up to MyVivid to be the first to know about the new program.
Have you taken any of the family to see some of the Head On stuff before they head home?
Unfortunately I'll miss it. Drat.
Already booked a couple of VCR restaurants. Going here Friday 5th June
Experience the perfect blend of tradition and innovation at Le Crocodile, an iconic French restaurant reimagined by Chef Rob Feenie. Enjoy our elegant, contemporary ambiance at 909 Burrard Street, Vancouver. Open Tuesday to Thursday from 4:00 pm to 10:00 pm and Friday to Saturday from 4:00 pm to 11:
And here on Saturday
My vote for MC goes to Reynold.

Lots to be thankful for.
That is good news.
One big worry off your shoulders.
Want to come to Sinney and take in a bit of VIVID?
It would be lovely if we could get together with Mr and Mrs. Missy.

Geeez, I'm going to have to start a special Undies Flow-chart calendar thingy to keep track of everybody's movements. And now the desert dweller's going to France!
Rags - those two restaurants look superb!
I can't remember the last time I was on a plane - I think I've forgotten how to book a flight.
OK - expecting some nasty weather today so best fill up the wood basket.

Merde ...
I am leaving for France on Friday via San Francisco on Air France. We (Lady V insisted on going) will spend seven days in Paris. I will also spend an afternoon visiting with my cousins daughter, and her one year old daughter. She is married to a French attorney (barrister to y'all) and has been in country several years. Lady V spent a semester as a Stanford University student in France. So, it is sort of a reunion of The Stanford in France '72 group. We however, added an extra eight days to the trip as originally planned. After Paris, we will meet up with some of her former classmates in The Loire Valley. We will then (not sure exactly) will board a Viking River cruise from Tours to Normandy. Lady V handled the Viking cruise portion while I was back east. While I am extremely excited for three+ weeks abroad...well you know what's going on with my sister, etc.
Love you allOutside of a dog a book is mans best friend. Inside of a dog its too dark to read
