Dear Babyboomers
I responded to an invitation from a friend, "Some of our Northern Beaches Chorus group will be singing at the Mosman Art Gallery, come along."
\
So pleased that I went along - singing gladdens the heart. Many happy childhood memories are of being around the piano with Mum playing, and Dad singing at the top of his voice, head back, loving the moment. 'Mona Lisa was his favourite and he sang it every time, with gusto. Every now and then we would break into some harmony of sorts, which brings me back now to the Northern Beaches Chorus.
I looked up the website http://www.northernbeacheschorus.com.au/
to find out more.
....Northern Beaches Chorus is a Sydney women's choir which sings 4-part acappella harmony, has approx 80 members, regularly performs on stage, and appears in local events and national competition. '
"We love to share our joy of singing with women of all ages and backgrounds in our local community and the chorus provides a whatsource of education in vocal production and showmanship" ........
And this is what shone through - sheer enjoyment of their moment which I was able to share via the body language and harmony. Have a look at the video to see what I mean.
Thanks lovely ladies.

Hi babyboomers
I had had enough of it today, after a social drought due to G being away, so I did what women do - "When the goin' gets tough, the tough go shopping." I still had some credit on a gift card, and I received some vouchers by email for special discounts so I set off to redeem my bargains.
I looked around for a garment which would make a difference to our Europe trip, and still work seasonally now, and found a casual multi-functional khaki top which could work with or without a layer underneath. It takes ages to choose, as you know, as I returned to try it on again, and decided to go for it. Then collected a jeans belt I had selected in order to pay for the two together.
Nothing worked - you had to purchase to the value of $75 in order to get a $20 dollar discount; I had printed off a few vouchers, so thought I was in front. But no. You have to read the copious small print - what it boiled down to was there were a few dull Myer only brands to which this applied, but the top I had chosen was excluded, as were all of the other decent brands. Then because the belt cost less than $75 I didn't get any discount there either. I felt in "why bother with voucher mode" but since I now wanted the Khaki top, and the belt, and had spent hours choosing them, I bought them at original price.
They got me! All part of the game. But I have to say they won't next time.
