Last Friday, Ben and I went to see Jamie Cullum at the National Theatre in St. Kilda. It was just amazing! (For those of you who don't know Jamie, check out http://www.youtube.com/jamiecullumworld; I just love his cover of Don't Stop the Music and We Run Things Another Way is *sigh*)
He was just great to watch. Very energetic and involved with the audience. Towards the end of his show he came up to the back section of the theatre and performed Cry Me A River, and mixed in some of Justin Timberlake's Cry Me A River. His band came up too (a snare drum, trumpet, sax and double bass) and Jamie got people to get closer and dance and then we all went down to the front section of the theatre and moshed to Mixtape! It was just so much fun that I was sad to reach the end of it... but we had a great time and look forward to Jamie returning so we can take our kids to see him!

Tuesday Night
As many of you know, we've had some communities devasted by bushfires over here in Victoria. A lot of people will have heard of Kinglake and Marysville but less about Callignee and Traralgon South. There were fatalities there too, just nowhere near as many as Kinglake and Marysville.
Well the local Rotary groups decided that the people who fought the fires there in Callignee and Traralgon South and the people and groups who are helping to rebuild these communities deserved some public recognition. So Rotary went and caught up with Max Walker and asked him if he would come and be the guest speaker at an awards night for these people. And Max said yes, and he wouldn't charge them an appearance or speaker's fee. So on Tuesday night Ben and I went off to dinner, dancing and Max Walker.
It was a really good night. The band was great (loud, but great) and both Mike's music teacher and Gabi's music teacher were playing; the singer was an impersonator who did really good impressions of Dean Martin, Tom Jones and John Lennon (we left early, so we didn't see if he did anyone else) and Maxie was really funny. Everyone who got a certificate of recognition (or thanks) also got their photo taken with Max. It was a good night.

I had a date!!!
I just had a date! I just had a date!
Well, it was really just coffee, with my husband. He rang and said he was on his way home, just before 3pm and would I like to have coffee with him at Gloria Jean's? So of course I said yes! How could I refuse an offer like that? So we had coffee and he drove me home. He stayed and worked at home for about an hour and then had to go back to work for shift change. *sigh*. On the way back to work he dropped me off so I could meet the kids' bus and bring them home. But - it was still a date!
