Gamelan, Gold Coast and Boils...



The children and I have just got back from a week's holiday on the Gold Coast (Australia) with the extended whanau. The Gold Coast is very commercial for my taste but the warm weather was divine. At 7.30am every morning we jumped out of bed and into the pool. One week was not enough.

A few days before the trip I performed with Gamelan Padhang Moncar at Te Papa Museum and Joko, master shadow puppeter. It was very exciting because you never quite know what's going to happen next. I have to call my style of performance 'head down' though because I'm always so intent on my music notations that I hardly have a chance to look up!

In the last newsletter a friend commented on some 'not well thought out' positioning. I had featured Kawakawa cream which is great for skin conditions like boils. A line down from this was the recipe for Baba Ganoush. The mention of boils had put my friend off the Baba Ganoush! Hmmmm
