The morning after the night before

The concert has been and gone. The weather stayed warm and balmy and the duo was well received by the audience. We have had these people before. They don’t have any dietary hang-ups which is great but when we mentioned what time they’d like dinner, they decided they’d skip it and ‘have something later’. This is always on the cards but it would be nice if they’d let us know beforehand if they won’t be wanting dinner. In the end Tony had a small helping and we now have leftovers for at least a few days. After the show, eight of us sat on the verandah until well after midnight having a few wines and some nibbles. Vince’s brother and his wife slept in our caravan and two close friends stayed overnight in the other spare room. They have just come back from a fantastic trip to the Baltic regions. After a big cooked breakfast, they all left about 10 am. The temperature was already climbing into the high 30s (Centigrade) by that time but we took down the stage lights before heading for the cool house. We’ll do a bit more packing up tonight when it gets cooler. And I hate to admit but Vince’s photo is better than mine although mine did show the full moon as well. His is a composite of two photos. We have two big lights which shine on the trees and are multiple colours which Vince can control from down below. There are also twinkling laser lights which operate from a little box which sits on the roof of the Shack. But mostly these little lights don’t show up in photos.

his photo gives you an idea of the whole area. i'm surprised it's actually two photos. but it would be nice to see yours, too, with the moon.

I'll add it here. Cameras have trouble coping with the bright lights and the darkness and trying to work out which they should be focussing on.

@responsiveme I did try to video one of their songs but I'm not sure how I make it so you can listen to it. I'm working on it.

My husband and I run them. Mostly they are outdoors (roughly 3 each summer). This was our 32nd concert. We had about 80 people and are licensed for 100. The band gets the money from the entrance fees (less insurance).

@JudyEv Wow that's huge. It must not be that easy to get at least 80 people to attend a concert. Congrats on it. It looks that it was nice.

@JudyEv Sounds interesting Judy. It's a shame that not many people will be able to attend the upcoming concert. Well, I guess it's gonna be a little hard to pick who might be attenting and who might not.

It sounds like it was a really great time, and the picture shows it was. I hope that you can stay cool on this really really hot day, just as we are staying in and staying warm on this really really cold day.

We stayed in out of the heat until about 6pm then ventured out and put away a few more things. The rest we'll do today sometime.
