Culture vulture

This afternoon Joanne and I headed over to Mona Vale. The weather was awesome and the entertainment was an open-air production of Shakespeare's Love's Labour's Lost. It's great to be able to do this sort of thing every once in a while, something we wouldn't usually do. And hanging out with friends is always good. We went along with Sarah & Anthony, Pam, Andrew & Lydia, Tim & Melody and also Richard & Heather, friends over from London and in NZ for four days on a bit of a flying world tour.

I'm not the greatest officianado of Shakespeare, but in my amateur opinion, it was really good. I think a lot of the witty wordplay left most of the audience wondering (me included) but the cast was good enough to let us have at least the gist of what was going on. Also the precis, act by act, in the programme was a big help.

To balance today's culture injection, yesterday Al & Naomi came over for lunch with their kids. Barbecue and karaoke ensued.
