A date was planned to meet these lovely ladies on Monday....
Marina was visiting all the way from Melbourne and so I wasn't going to miss a trip to the city..... Hubz kindly arranged business meetings so he would keep out our way!!!
Here are bloggy friends Teresa, Marina and Michelle at a lovely cafe overlooking Brisbane.... I have on good authority we had a 5 hour lunch! Chatter, chatter, giggle, chatter, laugh out loud, more chatter..... you get the picture I'm sure....
On Saturday morning my daughter called and said she has some tickets for a show in Brisbane Sunday night.... so we made a night of it...
I love the mix of the old and new in the city....
Ferry across the river to South Bank...
This musician is not as widely known as some.... he should be though ...
This is the link to the official website HERE
At 72 he is amazing... lovely show, lovely music, lovely man... he didn't say much but he did say "Men need to stop violence against women"... I think this just depicts his philosophy
Lots of his music on youtube....
There is a documentary "Searching for Sugarman" available... interesting watching
Hubz used to listen to him when he was in college in South Africa in the mid 1970's...
Ferry back to our lodgings for the night...
I took my stitching... but didn't get much done!!
Righto, Gotto Go..... just gotta catch up on stuff...
Lucky you seeing Rodriguez in person. Such a sad story really...never getting the recognition he deserved... He's a great music/story maker.
ReplyDeleteMeeting all those gorgeous girls too...what a fantastic trip to Brissy. I'm jealous!
Thanks for highlighting this talented man. What a treat to see him perform. Loved our 5 hour lunch Lol! Great pics of the city too!
ReplyDeleteI keep hearing about this 5 hour lunch. What fun to be able to spend that much time with quilty friends!
ReplyDeletewhat a shame we can't do it again this Monday too?
ReplyDeleteNow that you mention the doco I remember seeing Searching for sugarman advertised on the telly a little while ago. Wish I had watched it.
Love your night pics of brisbane.
Have fun catching up!
Hello Fiona,
ReplyDelete5 hour lunch, sounds like politicians!!! Pity you can't claim it as blog expenses. Sugarman has certainly had a long career, loved looking at the old vinyl records.
Happy days.
Bev.
Sounds like a fun night and nice that you could share it with friends.

Hi Fiona what a wonderful time you had in the city,how lucky you and your friends could catch up,wish I was a fly on the wall,lol.xx
ReplyDeleteWhat a fantastic time you all had Fiona! And yes I have heard of that musician - and watched on youtube, very talented indeed... must have been a good show.
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful day and night out. I'll have to check out the video, (no sound on here) but if he's who I think he is, we had an album on tape back in the 70's/80's :)
ReplyDeleteThat is such a lovely photo of the four of you.
ReplyDeleteJealous and wishing I too was a fly on the wall :o)
ReplyDeleteHappy times!
I'll bet those 5 hours just flew by too. Some lovely pics...cities look so lovely at night time.
ReplyDeleteA lovely little sojourn to the big smoke. Wonderful to have lunch with special friends and the lovely Marina.
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful catchup with Marina and the girls. sounds like a fun long lunch. Lots of laughs I bet.
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely photo of you all. Sounds like you all had a wonderful lunch together. Hopefully Marina will share some stories with us.
ReplyDeleteLovely time away - and you got to see Rodriguez! He was here, in my city, all that time, can you believe it - a star and he didn't even know it. Amazing story.
ReplyDeleteCouldn't think of a better way to spend five hours. Lucky you and then a great show as well.
ReplyDeleteLooks like you had a great time. Being with friends is the best! And even got to attend a show! That is even better. I see you are making progress on the stitchery. I am about half way done! May just make it. Seeing yours encourages me to spend more time working on it. Nola
ReplyDeleteSounds like you all had a great time xcx
ReplyDeleteA five hour lunch with friends sounds like a lot of fun! And it sounds like a great concert. I have yet to explore Brisbane but hope to one day as our son now lives near :-)
