The Villain from Coronation Street and the star, Aladdin, from Hollyoaks. A pleasure for the ladies in the audience.

Great night.

... form 2&3 choir is a great group who are very keen. Boys changing voices adds an element of difficulty to finding suitable repertoire.

I have enjoyed the teaching and the challenges but much prefer a balanced load of classes, ensembles and lessons if given a choice.

It’s nice that Rhonda and I work at the same place. Some days lunch together and then off in to the city for a coffee. Manchester is not as big as Melbourne or ...

... or I will no doubt be sick (again)!

I will add some photo's when I arrive on the isle of Tasmania, and I will write again once I am over the jet lag.

... and 3 final patients and was all done by 4pm but didn't get out the door till ten past after all the final farewells and well wishes. Headed home and did the final pack, said farewell to my land lady and the house I have called home since April and was off to Manchester.

Been hanging out at Amy and Dave's - catching up and packing. After girly chats of Fri night, Dave was at the pub with the boys. Amy and I did a quick shop in town ...

... building I have ever seen- and it's creepy gloomy atmosphere only strengthens as you climb up that wretched hill to get to its grounds, which incorporate a big old creepy cemetary complete with a forboding tunnel of gravestones.

Well I should be getting my shorts and T-shirts ready or at least have a bag to pack them into - but I have not. I don't go for another 5 days and I am still debating about getting travel insurance - should I / shouldn't I? I have not even ironed my clothes and Val (the ironing lady) is away I think so that's a no go. I will try and document each day of the holiday for those of you who can be bothered reading it. I mean I am no Shakespeare at the ...

We are here for two nights and our tour only cost about A$1600.00. The accommodation has been terrific throughout and I cant see how Cosmos makes their money. Not my problem though is it. Our accommodation had two rooms. A bath room with the toilet and this room was paced out by me at 3mtrs x 2.5mtrs. It was huge and had a marble floor ...

... from the outside edges of the ring. We're off to an awesome start ... we just have to keep it up ... just like the Aussie cricket team. Bec McCue and the Netball girls Toorak A Team vs Sacred Heart We played on an indoor, full size, brand new netball court with a proper ring. It was heaven! We had an amazing first quarter and managed to break many of they're centre passes. The game was very athletic with both sides having to work ...
