Good afternoon all ....... 

I haven't been around for a while as there has been so much to do and I thought I might never catch up ...    .... but I almost have now ....

Today is a 'half fun, half work' day, so there is an enormous hummingbird cake just cooked and cooling in the kitchen, the washing is done, work is finished and now it's up and onward with rehearsals for next month's concert and then after that, I'm off interstate for a master class on the big island up north.

Never a dull moment ... 

Hope everyone here is well and getting through the winter in the warmest way.  There has been snow in the mountains here but not enough yet.
