Mosman concert orchestra
Sue and I headed down to Mosman this afternoon to watch a performance by the Mosman orchestra, partly with the intention for Sue to see if she wanted to try to join them as a flute player. It was held in an old church that is now the local arts centre and it was a small audience but a reasonably large orchestra. They played a marvellous concert, including Beethoven's 5th Symphony, and we were very impressed - so much so, that Sue's not sure that she's ready for this level performance yet...

The end of the week was quite busy, with Rebecca's induction day to the Forest High School on Thursday, Laura's 'graduation' morning on Friday (as she has now finished school), and then Christmas preparations over the weekend - buying a tree on Saturday morning and putting up the decorations today. We also all went Christmas shopping on Saturday afternoon at the main shopping mall, which was busy but not too manic.

Last night was a late one for most of us as Laura took her friend PJ on the ghost walk at the old Quarantine Station near Manly, so I collected them at 11.30. We then waited up for Caroline who was out baby-sitting for a family who had gone off to see Robbie Williams, so she didn't get back until 1.00.
