Thanks to my friend Helen, I spent a lovely afternoon in the Sydney Opera Concert Hall listening to the Australian Chamber Orchestra; wonderful Schubert and a rousing Brahms symphony which brought tears to my eyes.
It's amazing how humans can make music and that it can arouse such emotion. Also during one of the quieter passages I found myself developing some aspects of one of the characters in my novel. Maybe I should make a habit of listening to classical music before I begin writing each day. It might open up my mind.
Thankfully the wild weather that is predicted for later today held off. We had lunch and a wander round the Rocks Market beforehand. I managed to resist the temptation to buy a couple of tops but I've got the online address!
It's the last day of May tomorrow. Where has this year gone? My cactus is flowering late this year, I wonder if it's because of the unseasonal warmth. My neighbour says all the rain is because the ocean temp is about 23 degrees celsius, warm enough to swim in but too rainy to sit on the beach.
