Melbourne Concert


Hi everyone,
Well, we've done our marathon travel weekend, complete with delayed flights. Julia is keeping a photographic record of every delayed flight (oops, I was just about to write 'fright'....;) she has to get. Just as well we had our laptops with new wireless 'dongle' connections to keep us amused & to play on YouTube. 50 points to the techhead who can tell us where the term 'dongle' originated.

We drove from Melbourne Airport to Sorrento; and Nicole displayed new talents- eating singapore noodles with chopsticks (no less!) while driving. (yes, we all got there in one piece).

St Johns Sorrento is a pretty little church built in 1874, and is a well known Victorian venue for chamber music. There was a fantastic friendly audience, mostly locals we think, who welcomed us very warmly, on quite a cold evening. ABC Classic FM recorded our concert, and we will let you know the likely future broadcast date.

After the concert, Danny navigated along dark rural, kangaroo-ridden roads, to 'Chez Fredersdorff' where Julia's dogs Billy & Milly greeted us. (Along with the open fire & much champagne & blue cheese). We all collapsed well after midnight..zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz......
