There's me in the back.
I loved every second of performing on stage in a range of sparkles.
As you can see there is no green, but I did manage to find green glitter on my person. The stage was just exploding with technique, comraderie and so. many. sparkles!
Following the concert some audience members and I grabbed dinner at Hog's Breath.
I happened to be related to all the audience members at dinner. My mum and her cousin Jane were there.
Grandpa and my step-dad, Eric, hit up Hog's.
Plus Jane's daughter and my birthday twin, Rhea, was there too. Born just a couple of hours apart on the same day. 1989 was a fabulous year.
Back inside Jane borrowed Grandpa's glasses to browse the menu.
We charged our water glasses "to a happy association." Thanks for that toast, Grandpa. He is so on the ball that Jane predicts he will end up being the carer of her and mum.
The name of the restaurant sounds pretty gross. Hog's Breath. Ew! But the food is pretty great. My dish was called "What a Catch" and it sure was. Just the right amount of crisp.
Sunday began (and unexpectedly ended) with the annual Blue Mountains Musical Society picnic in Glenbrook Park. Expecting to stay for a couple of hours, I arrived at 11:15am, not with presents, but with my presence.

We played a few games, but the water balloon game seemed to play me. I gave up after horrific flashbacks to highschool PE.
Bec and I were most excited about the balloon game.
When we realised we could see each other through the balloon we were bursting with excitement.
Me: Can you see me?
Bec: I CAN see you!!
There was of course Pringles and mingles mainly with Elena and Amy at the picnic.
Just before 1pm people began to leave. I held my keys in my hand ready for my grand departure. Instead, Emily and Anne got talking about Hairspray Live. Jacqui said she recorded it. Next thing we knew we were at Jacqui's house along with Mark and Danielle watching Hairspray Live.
We had some left over food, so the picnic continued.
Then round 2 was Les Miserables in Concert.
Between round 2 and 3 Emily and I picked up some pizzas from down the road. We waited slightly longer than expected for our pizza.
I mentioned something about free garlic bread.
Success! Thank you Domino's.
Emily and I arrived back at Jacqui's for round 3 - a pizza picnic and Jesus Christ Superstar. Coincidentally it's the next BMMS production.
The longest picnic in history ended at 10:30pm.
It was a wonderful weekend lost in performing, fun, friendships and food.
