Not all to our tastes, but as you say, the songs are originals, and one has to support/encourage new music! The performance last year of Heide singing whilst swaying about on a long pole was quite memorable. Good on you Marie for coupling food items from the competing countries in you Europarty. Who cares what others think about it anyway, YOU love it, and that’s the person you have to please! 🎶🍾🧁🍸🥂🎶❤️😎👩🦰🐕Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-649899395170271371.post-44309696346415074562023-01-19T07:33:42.361+00:002023-01-19T07:33:42.361+00:00Thanks for the feedback, Ron!

I do think of you often and know how much you miss being able to get together with family. It's so hard when people are separated by distance. And you're right - it is harder to make friends when you're older. I know you love being in a beautiful bush location and it has lots of benefits, but we all need companionship and city stimulation!

Never thought of myself has having a cosmopolitan set but I guess knowing musicians in bands and and having a BF in a band counted! I remember that Ramones gig! I saw them quite a few times - and still always remember that great gig watching the Cure with you at Bexley North pub? Fun times and a nice pic of you and your Mum and Dad....with all the chaos of those few teenage years of angst there were some good times - I loved our extended family picnics especially.Good memories to keep. My life is so different now - no family picnics here - ever. Rarely get to see anyone unless we travel up to the Central Coast. I have not made many friends in Melbourne in 14 years - yet I had so many in Sydney - oh well - it gets harder as one gets older - there are less places and opportunities to meet like minded people. I miss the ease and access of the city - close to cafes, bookshops etc. Living in the country is OK but there is not much in the way of a social life or village atmosphere where we are - the scenery and wildlife are beautiful though - just wish there were more like minded souls that I could meet and have a god conversation with over coffee sometimes to break up an otherwise solitary existence compared to my former life. Pete is obviously a great friend and partner so I cannot complain about that. Love to you and Kevinxx.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-649899395170271371.post-5678008496618968632014-11-25T21:39:46.377+00:002014-11-25T21:39:46.377+00:00Dear Kris,
