So I'm back to reality. No more sleeping under the bright city lights & listening to the hum of traffic or the music of late night gatherings. No more late night food binges and night time treks to the pool conveniently located on the roof. Circular Quay is no longer across the road and neither is a book store open until midnight 7 days a week. I will have to wait awhile until I get to visit Taronga Zoo again, and the baby elephant will most likely be an adult. There is a positive note though, I get to see
Wicked again next week (3rd time).
I had a lovely time this week with Rach in the city. We ate amazing food, drank soooo much Lemon, Lime & Bitters, saw
Wicked, went to Taronga Zoo and shopped.
Wicked was even better the 2nd time. I was a bit apprehensive because we were seeing Jemma Rix perform as Elphaba, not Amanda Harrison. Now I feel traitorous saying this, because you see, I have been a huge Amanda Harrison fan for 5 years, but I liked Jemma better. Jemma has a much stronger voice, though Amanda's acting was more passionate. I'm sorry Amanda, I honestly love you and completely and faithfully adore you. Lucy Durack was her perfect, flawless self and Rob Mills was, well, completely perfect and entrancing.
The zoo was oodles of fun. Mel joined us for the day of sun, fun and many animals. There were enough tourists to make an entire new country, and lots of animals for food ;-).
Overall it was an amazing week. It reinforced my desire to move East for a number of reasons.
1) It's cooler in hot weather
2) It's closer to almost everything that matters
3) I feel safer there at night than I do in my own suburb
4) It's amazingly beautiful
5) I fit in
Until next time fellow humans....
This is me
This is me with Rach & melissa
