Back home

On sunday we made the drive back to adelaide again, to go and see metallica.And while Im not the biggest ever fan of metallica, I really did enjoy it.I loved being able to go with my family, although jaxen chose not to come with us[he would have trouble sitting still for that long].Nick and his GF lisa had never been to anything like this before, and Nick has always liked metallica, so he loved the concert.There was lots of lights, flames and loud loud music, and it was a great performance.I loved that we could take the kids, and I hope they appreciate how lucky they are to have these opportunities.

I can remember as a child going to see kenny rogers and dolly parton [woohoo]with mum and my sister and some of my mums family.I cant really remember the concert much, but I can vaguely remember how exciting it was to be there.My parents certainly werent very financial, and my dad would never have been interested in anything like this so It would have been a huge cost for my mum to take us to something like that, I know she would have saved for months beforehand.As an adult now I realise how hard it would have been for my mum to do these things, as my dad was a drinker and my mum had to work to have her own money.

metallica, huge crowd, awesome!!

Anyway on to something lighter, I did manage to get back to marion for a bit of shopping....[well maybe more than a bit], managed a tiny bit of christmas shopping, but I couldnt resist buying this for myself

How gorgeous is it?, and practical too!!

 Nick and Brad have started playing mixed netty in lincoln,on tuesday nights, I usually go with them to watch and score or time, and there have been some nights where I would like to take a coffee, so this is perfect.
