Who likes a tenor?

-


I've seen my first show in the 2025 season. 

On Friday l travelled to the Frankston Arts Centre to see Australian tenor David Hobson.
We are so lucky here in Melbourne.  Every suburban Arts Centre runs a Morning Melodies program.  Frankston runs theirs on a Friday with 2 performances at. 10.30 and 1.30. I always go to the 1.30 show.

Over the years I've seen so many good shows and this one was such a good act to start the new season.  David Hobson has sung in operas, Gilbert and Sullivan and musical theatre. His voice is still going strong at 64. In the video l talk about the difference between David and Maria Callas. He sang a bit of everything and he was good. These Morning Melodies shows can be a real treat, and, if there's a suburban Arts Centre near you check them out.

So the 2025 has kicked off with a great start and there are many good things ahead. Keep watching this space.

Who's looking forward to the new Strike novel?

I like crime novels. They are my favourite to read. Of course, theses days, when l say read l mean listen. I have bad hearing and have had hearing aides for years. Audible and Borrow Box are on my phone which is connected to my hearing aides and it is much easier to carry a phone rather than a book. Robert Galbraith books are so good. I personally think that J.K. Rowling is a very good writer.  So l have gone back to the start. Through Audible l have listened to The Cuckoo's Calling right through to Troubled Blood. I'm going to listen to all of them; Ink Black Heart is next. They should all be finished by the time the new novel comes out and l can't wait.  Who else is waiting for the new release? Do you like the Strike novels? Let's start a conversation.

The heat has returned and so have l to where l stay in between jobs. We're having a hot, humid summer that never seems to stop.  Good weather for staying inside and writing poetry. Today l am sharing the names of some poetry prizes around the world.  All for emerging and new poets. Perhaps one of them is you. I hope so. I want poetry to thrive and survive.  Most Wednesdays l read a poem and, if you would like me to read yours contact me at emilycat176@gmail.com  and we can start a conversation about me reading it out.
