G'day people.
Well, the concert went off really well. Because the diva has been ill, she knew she couldn't sustain an entire concert on her own and so brought in a cellist and violinist as support. They were wonderful, gave her a good break between brackets. Mind you, we couldn't hear any flaw in her voice... our choir segment went off very well. We had a quick rehearsal just before, out in the back garden. Lovely.
Afterwards some of us were invited to stay back for a drink and supper in the gallery. This gallery is also the home of the artist and his wife, good friends of the diva and her husband. A number of artists live in adjacent houses, and the place was full of creative people. I was not going to pass up a chance to stay and hobnob with the glitterati literati.
I did not want to outstay my welcome, however, in case I had been invited by accident (mistaken identity?) so I left about half an hour ago, and I'm about to walk down to mother in law's to sit while they have dinner. I've already been fed, in so many ways.
It's just on sunset now. Sitting down on the balcony at the gallery, overlooking the ocean just before sunset - glorious.
What an afternoon!
