moving and travel and holidays
Apr. 2nd, 2015 05:28 pmAustralia takes its holidays seriously - most things will be closed on Good Friday and on something called "Easter Monday", luckily my favorite coffee place is open every single day, so there is always someplace you can go.
Today I went to a free concert in a church, beautiful music including pieces from Jesus Christ Superstar and Eric Clapton. I really enjoyed it - one of the people that likes to sit in the same place during the cinematheque mentioned it to me. It is so nice to have the freedom to just do something without any advance planning. He mentioned it Weds night and then I went on Thurs at 1 pm.
We are watching Melville films at Cinematheque - I just saw Un Flic and Le Silence De La Mer. Melbourne loves films - it was pretty much sold out in a huge movie theater. I also saw Leviathan, which was excellent, but you need a high tolerance for things are bad and then they get worse. I'm seeing Beckett's Endgame tonight and going to a seder tomorrow night. I'm really appreciative that the swim teacher at the city baths guessed that I'm jewish AND invited me to her seder. I do hope it is my family's version of quick and fast seder, but I am happy to be included, such a touching thing to do. I just bought 3 kgs of ocean trout, which Charles is going to cook for the dinner. Hope I'm not the youngest one at the seder!
My mind is swirling with the fact that we are probably moving (still in Melbourne) and our trip to Helsinki and Berlin and Budapest. I'm loving the NYT crossword puzzle app on my ipad. So far I have a 3 day streak, Mon-Tues-Weds, but can't make it through Thurs without help.
