The day after & a great concert TAO

With only 4 hours sleep after holding the party, Bluey & I both woke up. WHAT was our bodies doing to us to wake us on a day where we could & should have slept in? Luckily & surprisingly I didn't feel that tired at all. After breakfast we tidied up & relaxed a little. It was a miserable stormy day, however we had to go shopping, so we rushed through that. The reason for rushing was that I wanted to go into the city for dinner before a concert & Erik suggested that we allow extra time in case of delays due to the storm. We got there with plenty of time to spare, so it was good to be able to take our time. We went to a resteraunt called Schweinske & ordered a meat platter for 2. It was wonderful. The meal came with a baked potato with sour cream on a dinnerplate & 6 pieces of roast meat, chips & salad on a large serving plate and a basket with 2 large bread chunks. Along with 2 large spezi drinks (half coke, half fanta) we made our way through our generously large meals leaving just a little of the serve, feeling full, but not uncomfortably so, satisfied & very,very happy.
All through the meal & on the train trip to the city Bluey was trying all she could to figure out where exactly we were going for the concert. She had known for months that I had something planned for Australia Day, but had no idea as to what & I had kept her guessing. It was driving her crazy not knowing.^^ It was not until we were right at the entrance of the performing area that she knew. I had managed to get 5th row center tickets to see TAO the Japanese drummers. We had discussed about going to see them last year, however it was really expensive & not on a convenient night for us to see them. Now there we were, sitting in the 5th row with earplugs to save our hearing. Bluey says I am deaf enough...but I don't always hear her telling me.^^
The show was amazing. The precision, style, & power with which they performed & the fun they were having while they played made it a GREEEEEEAT show. If you have a chance to see them I would highly recommend it.
By the time we got home we were both completely buggered. Actually we were buggered on the train on the way home. At least it was not raining when we had to walk home from the train station. To help forget how tired we were & make time pass faster I was teaching Bluey the lyrics to "Court Of King Caractacus". Once again it was sooooo good to hit the sack & get to sleep. All in all it was a extreemly good weekend. Oh...and I also have next week free...I have a holiiiiiiiidaaaaaay.
