After the Rain

And it is almost the weekend again. Nice.

We're off to see The Australian Ballet's British Liaisons programme on Saturday night.

I adore, adore, adore Arvo Pärt’s ethereal Spiegel im Spiegel , so I am particularly excited about seeing Christopher Wheeldon’s After the Rain danced to this exquisite music.

The Australian Ballet's blog, Behind Ballet includes a link to the ballet danced by Damian Smith and Yuan Yuan Tan at the Fire Island Dance Festival last year with a backdrop of the sea and the setting sun. Isn't it just sublime?



I think the rest of what we're up to over the weekend pales into insignificance after that. I'll just stop now.

What are you up to?

    I just finished "The Devotion of Suspect X", which was your particular recommendation. It was excellent. I don't remember when I've enjoyed a mystery so much. I can't wait for my mom to read it. She's a fan of the genre as well.

    Next on my list is "Kitchen". I have some Christmas knitting to work on, but once that's under way I'll be turning my attention to that!

I'd love you to leave me a message. Tell me what you like - and what you don't. Just remember that this is what we do in our family - it doesn't have to be what you do in yours...
