Mmmmm pavlova !

Well I haven't before blogged my food and quite frankly Scotty thought I was nuts taking a photo of it, but here it is in all it's glory, one of the things I can quite frankly say has never failed me. My pavlova. This recipe truly is the easiest thing to make and looks and tastes spectacular. Try it !

Happy Happy Happy

What a terrific night last night. What wonderful two friends I experienced it with (albeit one wasn't even born when some of his songs were written!!!). Billy Joel is truly magnificent. I'm tired (all up 6 hours of driving), I'm hoarse from singing and screaming, my feet hurt from dancing, but I'm happy happy happy.

Great seats, great sound, great food (we went to a Japanese restaurant for dinner), great crowd, great company, what a buzz. I feel like I've got the biggest hangover today, without the alcohol!!

Happy happy happy. I feel quite blissful right now. :-)

One more sleep to go

The waiting is over. One more sleep until my date with the great man himself. Oh ... me and a whole stadium full of screaming fans.

Billy Joel concert tomorrow.

Stay tuned for an update, big trip to the big smoke!
