Well we are one third into Queen's Birthday Long Weekend and what a beginning it has been! I began yesterday morning with a real sense of earnestness and anticipation. A 1 1/2 hour personal training session, with lots of outdoor running, resistance, push ups, weights and boxing is always a great way to bring in the weekend! Afterwards I enjoyed a lovely coffee with my husband. It was lovely to just sit in a local coffee shop, enjoying the ambience and reading the newspaper. Incidentally I read a most interesting and thought-provoking article about the importance of poetry. There is little that is more gratifying than indulging in a cup of coffee, or freshly brewed tea, with a newspaper and sunshine!
Last night I saw P!NK in concert - Funhouse tour and I have to say that it was one of the most magnificent spectacles I have ever seen! The theatrics, the music - piano, cello, and violins to name a few, the different music genres that she incorporated into the concert, the trapeze acts and of course P!NK's singing was just outstanding! It was a sensory impression that created a feast for the eyes! The colour and the cosutmes and the lighting was fantastic! In any case, her lyrics (and covers that she performed) revealed her diverse interests and talents in music (she played the guitar), singing and athleticism - her dancing, trapeze acts and no break in the concert!!
I have liked P!NK but would never say that I was a huge fan, largely because I tend to be an old soul when it comes to music. I have to say, that I was pleasantly surprised and now realise there is a depth to her, that I had not taken the time to see previously. She is indeed a talented artist!
So, it has been a very long day! A thoroughly enjoyable Saturday. What will today hold? Different experiences - time away from the city, time to walk and take photos, time to spend with my husband. Time to be.
