I know for a lot of you in the northern hemisphere that the weather is cooling down so I just thought I'd share this.

My daughter's school band played at a Xmas carols gathering this afternoon and this evening. There was a stage set up just to the right of them and I couldn't help thinking that it was a great place for a gig.

She's the one near the middle..back row...between the dude in the black t shirt and the woman in the white cap


I don't have a fancy camera..it's just a little digital point and shoot so it's not the greatest shot but you get the general idea. The afternoon sun, the cooling breeeze and the calm pacific ocean made for a beautiful afternoon.

No rain here today Chris. I sweltered for a couple of hours mowing the lawn and doing those odd jobs around the house. The above picture was taken about 6.oo tonight and it's still nice and toasty here

I forgot to mention that there was a celeb up on stage for the band later in the evening. Should have taken a couple of pics but I was too busy socialising.
