A day spent with Geraldine and Laurie enjoying the delights of a beautiful sunny Sydney Sunday!
Had lunch at Opera house before enjoying a concert with the Australian Chamber Orchestra.
The music was so entertaining especially the beautiful interpretation of a piece by Biber called Battalia. The cellos and double bass used their instruments in a whimsical manner to create a wonderful piece of music. We also heard some Mozart and Handel. Its amazing how the music can unravel all the threads in your head and help you see clearly solutions to your problems. As the music drifted out I found myself unwinding and began to think about a summer holiday at a beach somewhere. Must gather more ideas and start planning. Laurie found himself thinking of luxury beer and food in delightful surrounds! Geraldine said she just drifted in and out of thoughts while listening. Throughly enjoyable day.
Geraldine is our musician at home. She has been learning piano since aged 5 and still gets great pleasure in playing and listening to classical music. Listening to her practicing on the piano is a great sound in our household.

On way home drove past Entertainment Centre so Geraldine could familiarise herself to the area as she is off to a Mumford and Sons Concert on Thursday evening and will need to get herself there by train. Once home we needed to find time to walk the dogs.
I feel ready for another busy week at work following a lovely day out.
