STUNNING CONCERT..ENJOYED EVERY MINUTE..WELL WORTH THE MONEY!!

WELL LADIES....AS YOU ALL KNOW RE MY LAST POST..I WAS HEADING OFF TO ANDRE RIEU'S FIRST AUSTRALIAN CONCERT AT THE TELSTRA DOME IN MELBOURNE..

WOW...!!! WHAT AN ABSOLUTELY WONDERFUL UPLIFTING SPECTACLE IT WAS...

THE THING I REALLY LIKE ABOUT WHAT ANDRE RIEU ACHIEVES IS TO MAKE PEOPLE HAPPY WITH MUSIC...BOTH CLASSICAL AND SOME MODERN...PLUS HE APPEALS TO ALL AGE GROUPS..NOT JUST "THE BLUE RINSE" SET WHICH HAS BEEN BANDIED AROUND IN THE MEDIA..

THERE WERE ELDERLY COUPLES WALTZING DOWN THE AISLES...DADS WITH THEIR LITTLE DAUGHTERS DANCING...20 YO COUPLES..

IT WAS A TOTALLY "FEEL GOOD" EVENING..WHAT WITH ALL THE DOOM AND GLOOM GOING ON IN THE WORLD AT THE MINUTE...IT WAS A TOTALLY REFRESHING BREATH OF FRESH AIR..

I SPENT ALL DAY WITH THE "CURLERS" IN MY HAIR!! AND IT TURNED OUT PRETTY GOOD..IF I HAD HAVE LEFT MY HAIR UNBRUSHED..IT WOULD HAVE LOOKED LIKE "SHIRLEY TEMPLE"...BUT I AM A BIT OLD FOR THAT EFFECT..SO I GIVE IT A GOOD BRUSH...AND IT SEEMS TO DO THE TRICK..

MUM LOOKED VERY ELEGANT IN HER TOTAL CREAM OUTFIT...MATCHING SHOES..PANTS..GORGEOUS COAT FROM "BLUE ILLUSIONS"...FINISHED OFF WITH HER LITTLE BERET!!
SHE IS PRETTY GOOD FOR 86 YO!!

I WAS WORRIED THOUGH BECAUSE THE WEATHER IN MELBOURE HAS BEEN IN THE MID 30'S ALL WEEK..AND WITH THE ROOF CLOSED AT TELSTRA DOME..I DID THINK I WAS GOING TO "SWEAT" INTO A POOL OF WATER....BUT LUCKILY I REMEMBERED TO TAKE A LITTLE HAND HELD FAN..SO THAT DID THE JOB!!

SOO ALL IN ALL IT WAS A SPLENDID SPLENDID EVENING AND I SHALL SUBSCRIBE TO "THE MAIN" EVENT THINGEY ON FOXTEL TO WATCH THE FINAL CONCERT IN MELBOURNE LIVE..

PS...THE ONLY "DOWN SIDE" WAS WHEN THE CONCERT FINISHED...AND MUM & I WERE HEADING TO OUR RIDE....GUESS WHAT??? IT NEVER RAINS IN MELBOURNE...BUT IT DID LAST NIGHT...AND WE WALKED FOR ABOUT 10 MINUTES IN TEAMING RAIN..SO IN THE END I LOOKED LIKE A DROWNED WATER RAT!! HAIR TOTALLY WET...MASCARA STREAMING DOWN MY FACE..

OH WELL!! NOT TO WORRY...IT ALL ADDS TO LIFE'S LITTLE ADVENTURES!!

HAVE A LOVELY WEEKEND EVERYONE..AND I HOPE I HAVENT BEEN TOO BORING CHATTING MOSTLY ABOUT MYSELF!!??
