Hi there folks. I hope you enjoyed your weekend. My weekend was pretty eventful. On Saturday my U15 cricket team and I had our grand final game against the Stannies A Team, unfortunately we didn't win. Which is a shame because we were going really well in the first half. I had a lot of fun batting though and was the last man standing, not out. Later in the afternoon I was playing in the Twilight Strings Concert at the Uniting Church as my ensemble from the Mitchell Conservatorium was playing two pieces in it. Unfortunately I couldn't stick around as I had to then go back to Orange for the All Creatures Great & Small Ensembles Concert. And I say 'back to Orange' as I was there earlier in the afternoon for a final rehearsal for the evening's concert. I'm in the Orange Youth Orchestra and we were the main event. We were performing Carnival of the Animals - even the concert was themed around a carnival of animals. Both concerts went really well. The music sounded great and we played very well. Again, my mother and I were not able to stick around for the end of the concert and I'm sure you would understand that we had to drive back to Bathurst in the dark, with heavy rain. Thankfully, the rain on the return journey was not as heavy as the rain on the way to Orange, that was incredibly heavy. Before we headed back home we stopped at this little take out shop called Mukoko. It's a relatively new food shop that does sushi and fried chicken. What a great combo! And the food wasn't bad, it's quite yummy. I grabbed a donburi bowl and some boneless fried chicken and my mother got a donburi bowl too and then we headed home. On Sunday.....I had work, it was very exciting, it was so incredibly eventful - not. But overall, a great weekend.
Until next time
