Mothers Day

Today was Mothers Day. My son made me a beautiful and delicious breakfast accompanied with a lovely table setting. I had a really nice present: fragrance candles, pedestal and bracelet and earrings. I spent a lot of time with my beautiful son and husband and despite the horrible weather, we had a lovely day, even managed to see a market and do a bit of window shopping without getting wet. Thank you son! I love you more than anything.

Hoy fue el dia de la madre. Mi hijo me hizo un desayuno riquisimo acompanado de una mesa adornada con velas perfumadas, flores y regalito. Hoy disfrute mucho tiempo con mi hijo y mi esposo y a pesar del tiempo horrible, tuvimos un dia muy lindo, hasta pudimos visitar una feria artesanal y  mirar unas vidrieras sin mojarnos. Gracias hijito! Te amo mas que nada en el mundo.

Last Concert for Anton with the Robertson Youth Orchestra

Last night we went to see Anton give his last performance with the Robertson Youth Orchestra. He decided that it was time to start a new search. The concert was very enjoyable and whilst we said goodbye to an era we know that something new will emerge musically for him, something more challenging and full of rich encounters with music. We have certainly enjoyed the performances the RYO gave throughout the years Anton was with them.

Anoche fuimos a ver a Anton dar su ultimo concierto con la Robertson Youth Orchestra. Decidio que es hora de empezar una nueva busqueda. El concierto fue lindo y mientras le decimos adios a una era sabemos y deseamos que algo nuevo va a emerger para el musicalmente, algo quiza que lo provee de mas desafios y que este lleno de encuentros ricos con la musica. Hemos disfrutado mucho todos los conciertos de la RYO durante los anos que Anton estuvo incorporado. 

Dulce de leche

This is my happy face last night. We had dinner at a Vietnamese restaurant in Fitzroy (Mandalay Bay). It was delicious, expect for the entree, a mixture of rice rolls with way too much coriander (not my favourite spice). After dinner we walked along Brunswick Street and stopped at Chocolateria San Churro for an after dinner coffee. Ric couldn't help himself and order churros too. We've had churros here many times (nothing special if you ask me) but to my surprise instead of the typical chocolate sauce that usually accompanies such treat it came  with dulce de leche (an Argentinian style caramel to die for and that I have been searching for the last 22 years in Australia) and to my delight it was quite good! Thank you San Churro, I will be visiting more often.

Esta es mi cara de felicidad anoche. Cenamos en un restaurant vietnamita en Fitzroy (Mandalay Bay). La comida estuvo deliciosa, excepto por la entrada que era una mezcla de enrollados de arroz con mucho cilandro para mi gusta (una especie que no me gusta en lo mas minimo). Despues de la cena caminamos por Brunswick Street y paramos en chocolateria San Churro a tomar un cafecito. Ricky no pudo contenerse y compro unos churros para acompanar. Hemos comido churros aqui muchas veces (nada especial) pero para mi sorpresa en vez de venir con la tipica salsa de chocolate para mojar los churros, vino con dulce de leche y para mi alegria estuvo bastante bueno! Gracias San Churro te visitaremos pronto nuevamente.
