debbieannWe leave tomorrow for Adelaide - every March they have a big art/music/theatre festival and I have always wanted to go, and this is the year. We'll see a Beckett play, 4 days of outdoor music and a Danny Elfman concert. Also probably the Bill Viola installations and the art museum.
These are some of the musicians:

Over the past couple of months I have been falling in love w Melbourne again. The city baths/gym is a beautiful heritage building a block from my house. I had lots of great books from the library including two art books, one about Adolf Wolfi and another about Dorothy Iannone. I finished H is for Hawk just yesterday so I could return it before leaving. I saw two excellent films - Hard Eight and Boogie Nights last night at Cinematheque, and on Tuesday I went on an art outing to Heide w friends from Cinematheque, to see Arthur Boyd's Bride series:

I see a lot of films - usually two on Monday and one or two on Weds. It is a great city for film.
This is what happens when you stay in one place for awhile. It is very strange. I even have 3 plants, but I am not sure they will survive our absence, we shall see. I can't even remember the last time I have actually owned a plant. There is both comfort and dis-comfort in the not moving. We recently cat/dog sat in a small suburban house, and it was fun for a few days, but it isn't something I crave. Nice pets, happy to give them back.
Tonight we'll go hear kora music by Sidike and Toumani Diabate - we'll probably hear them in Adelaide as well.
